An Arduino-based system that reads a Belgian smart meter’s P1 port and transmits aggregated electrical data over LoRaWAN every 15 minutes, with over-voltage detection aimed at catching solar inverter shutdowns.

Step-by-step guide to connecting the ThinkNode G1 LoRaWAN gateway (~100€ on AliExpress) to AWS IoT Core using LoRa Basic Station mode, including a workaround for uploading the client certificate via SSH.

The Browan Femto Lite (now MerryIoT Hub) is an affordable LoRaWAN gateway that connects to AWS IoT Core via Basic Station mode. This guide covers the two main steps — registering the gateway with the right EUID and uploading the CUPS certificate — including the key gotchas that trip people up.
