Over here,we will show how to use the Dragino LoRa IoT Kit to collect the temperature and humidity and send the data to the ThingSpeak server.

The things we need to prepare:

• LoRa Gateway -- LG01-P
• LoRa Node -- LoRa Shield
• Sensor -- DHT11

 Complete following operations:

 Set up hardware

Set up the hardware as below, the LoRa node will get sensor data from DHT11 and send these data to LoRa Gateway, when the Gateway get the data, it will pass the data to the IoT server.

 Set up IoT Server account

We choose ThingSpeak as the IoT server here, first sign up an account in ThingSpeak, then goto the Channels and create a Channel with Temperature and Humidity field.
After create the channel, user can see the Channel ID and API key in the Channel Page. They are needed for upgrade data to this channel.

 Upload sketches

Step 1: Download the ThingSpeak Library and put it in the Arduino library directory.

Step 2: Select the example from:
IDE --> File --> Examples --> Dragino --> IoTServer --> ThingSpeak --> dht11_client
And upload this sketch to the LoRa Node

Step 3: Select the example from
IDE --> File --> Examples --> Dragino --> IoTServer --> ThingSpeak --> dht11_server
Replace the myChannelNumber & myWriteAPIKey to your info
And upload this sketch to the LoRa Gateway.

 What is LoRa KiT?

     Dragino Lora IoT Kit is designed to facilitate beginners and developers to quickly learn LoRa and IoT technology. It help users to turn the idea into a practical application and make the Internet of Things a reality. It is easy to program, create and connect your things everywhere. A number of telecom operators are currently rolling out networks, but because LoRa operates in the open spectrum you can also set up your own network. The LoRa IoT kit will show how to build LoRa network, and how to use the network to send data from a LoRa sensor node to the cloud server. When used as a private LoRa network, the LoRa gateway will connect your other LoRa nodes up to 5km however expect up to 10km range (when in line of sight) when connecting your LoRa node to a LoRa gateway!
