Announcing the “LoRa BME280 Sensor Network” a collaboration between Anthropic’s Claude and William Lucid.
LoRa BME280 Sensor Network Dashboard
Project requires two, “Ebyte” EoRa-S3-900TB Development Boards; one for Gateway and one for Node. One 74HC04 for each node to reroute the Lora DIO1 signal to a wake capable GPIO_RTC pin. One BME280 for each node. Multiple nodes are supported. Project developed and tested with the EoRa Pi; should work with other SX1262 LoRa development boards, code modification left to hardware owners.

Hi.
Congratulations on your project and collaboration!
That new dashboard is looking good…
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Sara

You are welcome Sara; we are working on Charts, tabs, line colors and labels. Have you used Charts.js?
Updated the Nordic Power Profiler Kit 2 Observations file to reflect the changes we made to the network node.

My apologies for the broken link; fixed the link for the “Nordic Power Profiler Kit II, EoRa PI” Observations.

Hi.
I haven’t used charts.js before.
I have some projects using highcharts.js

Claude and I have been working on the Dashboard for the Lora Sensor Network:
We are integrating “LoRa Sensor Network” for Home Assistant by providing a yaml template and detailed instructions.
Network consists of BME280 sensor node, A Gateway that receives node data at 15 minute interval. Gateway then sends json document by WiFi, HTTP Client to Docker container running on a Raspberry PI. Container is running Python Flask and a data base of node timestamped BME280 readings. Dashboard.html pull data from database, display charts using the charts.js library.
Testing and power management has been done using two Ebyte, EoRa-S3-900TB boards. Other LoRa boards may be compatible; but not tested or optimized for power management.

Still working on refinements and putting all the “pieces” together in the GitHub Repository.

Update 09/27/2025 Update
Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/Tech500/Lora-BME280-Sensor-Network.git
cd Lora-BME280-Sensor-Network/docker
docker-compose up -d
This installs a docker container; in my case to a Raspberry Pi IV. Purpose of the container is the running of a web server for the dashboard.html and the SQLite database for storing the BME280 responses. Network was designed and tested for the Eora Pi development board. Other boards may work; code modifications are left to the hardware owner.
In addition to the container; two, EoRa Pi development boards, minimum are needed. One for the Gateway and another for a node. Multiple nodes are supported. Gateway and Node firmware can be found in the firmware folder of the Github Repository.
Gateway only requires the EoRa Pi dev. Board; no additional wiring. Find node wiring note in the node wiring folder. Each node requires a BME280 and a 74HC04. (74HC series is important for it’s microcontroller, friendly operating voltage and no level shifter needed; being a logic level device).
Github Repository structure and files have been updated and all are working, verified by doing a clean install of all components.
Regards,
William

Reconfirmed node current consumptions and added a couple more observations from the Nordic Power Profiler Kit II:
