LoRaWAN IoT Button ships with open

LoRaWAN is often used for asset tracking or environmental monitoring, for example, to track cattle location, or monitor temperature and humidity in a field, but n-Fuse’s “LoRaWAN IoT Action Button” enables human interaction and comes with open-source firmware, bootloader, and soon the source code for the Android app.

Most of the n-Fuse STx-LR family of LoRaWAN nodes integrates environmental sensors but the LoRaWAN IoT Action Button is different with support supports single, double, and long presses, as well as tactile feedback.

n-Fuse STx-LR family comes in three variants with the following key features:

The source code for STM32 bootloader and the firmware can be found on GitHub in their respective repositories. However, If you ever decide to modify the source code for the firmware and flash it to your device, you’ll lose your warranty, which makes the open-source firmware less useful… If you decide to go ahead anyway, the device can be reprogrammed over NFC. The Sensor Master Android app is also available, and n-Fuse told CNX Software it would also be open-sourced soon.

We’ve never written about LoRaWAN buttons on CNX Software before, but there are some other alternatives such as the RAKwireless Wisnode RAK612 remote wireless trigger with four buttons, Milesight IoT’s WS101 single button, or Netvox R312A wireless emergency button.

n-Fuse sells its sta-lr “LoRaWAN IoT Action Button” for 60 Euros excluding VAT, and the sensor nodes go for 71 to 73 Euros.
