Readout for BARANI_PWS

An innovative PWS appearing developed & produced by BARANI.

Has data communication through SigFox or LoraWAN.
Has a data-interface from those 2 networks [which is described here with some basic payload-decoders].
Variation which is possible:
- Main/Basic unit has temperatur, humidity, pressure and light
- Optional measurement of wind
- Optional measurement of rain

;) Challenge:
who can make a script that uses such payload decoder to feed related virtual devices in Domoticz?
With minimal amount of (simple) settings, because not all meteo-buds are programmers.

You can already use the TTNMQTT module that connect your Domoticz and The Things Network which a is a LoRa based network.

If there is a LoRa gateway nearby your location that is connected or interlinked with the TTN network, your PWS can send its data through that network.

There is already a payload encoder available for TTN for these devices :)

If no LoRa gateway nearby, you can setup one yourself with relatively cheap hardware either DIY or off-the-shelf.

Sure a payload encoder is available in the PWS, because for the Lora-version BARANI themselves are using that channel of communication towards their servers.
However, the requested solution (next to BARANI) is to get a payload decoder linked with an interface into Domoticz.

:? Or misunderstanding your response?

Look at the TTNMQTT module

https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/TTNMQTT

Once your Barani is connected (over Lora) to the TTN network, you can get the data via the TTNMQTT module into Domoticz Image

And TTN offers the ability to run custom decoders on a payload BEFORE it gets picked up by for example Domoticz...

Hope the above is more clear.
