Crowd Supply easySwitchBox
Crowd Supply easySwitchBox is a long-range LoRa® wall switch powered by coin cells and the Arduino IDE. This easySwitchBox sends on/off signals to any relay, actuator, or other project. The wall switch is also used to trigger any event wirelessly and from a distance up to a few kilometers using LoRa®. The long-range easySwitchBox is easy to program using the Arduino IDE, and communication is secured by an authentication chip. The SwitchBox kit usually comes with an Arduino Nano radio shield that allows signals to be received from easySwitchBox using Arduino Nano.
