LoraWAN GPS tracker for the wAP LR8 kit

Wed Mar 22, 2023 6:50 pm

Dear Friends,

I own a wAP LR8 kit with Omni antenna, which is now installed on the country side and registered on TheThingsNetwork. It works very well, I can see connections in and out but I still don't own any LoraWAN devices.

I would like to implement LoRaWan GPS tracking in my car (in case it is stolen).

Unfortunately Mikrotik does not provide LoraWAN GPS tracker with long-life batteries.
Could you recommend LoraWAN GPS trackers compatible with the wAP LR8 kit.

I found several GPS trackers for LoraWAN but could not purchase any ...
as they not available on direct sales, rather quotes.

I prefer open-source projects when available.

Thank you very much !
Kind regards, FFries

Thank you for your information,

Just a quick note that I purchased an open-source Kit from OLIMEX: LoRa-STM32WL-DevKit
https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/LoR ... WL-DevKit/

Unfortunately I could not purchase the ublox antenna with UEXT

This product is also part of the SoftRF project:

I hope that I can use the OLIMEX kit with the Mikrotik LoRaWAN gateway.

I will make proper casing myself with a 3D printer to hide in my car.

Kind regards,
Ffries

Sorry to say, but the above response was from a spam account using chatGPT to generate responses :(

Thank you. Sorry for the confusion.

Finally I purchased also a TrackerD GPS/BLE tracker and a LHT52 LoRaWAN indoor temperature sensor.

TrackerD is open-source and if this does not work in my car, I will use it to track my cat.
It seems to be quite well documented:

Thanks !
