Adafruit.IO LoRa Windows 10 IoT Core Field Gateway #AdafruitIO #IoTuesday

From Bryn Lewis on Hackster.io:

I teach kids how to code and needed a telemetry field gateway which was reasonably priced (both devices + field gateway hardware), which would work across a campus (couple of city blocks), had low power consumption (solar powered devices) and had good in building penetration (selection of indoor & outdoor sensors).

After looking at several Cloud IoT Services Adafruit.IO looked like it had sufficient flexibility and a reasonable pricing model. The security model (Feb 2018) with a shared API Key will have some challenges in wider scale deployments

“AIO_Logo_150x150"Here at Adafruit, we sell all of these amazing components, but we couldn’t find a good way to interact with them over the internet. There are certainly a lot of great services out there for datalogging, or communicating with your microcontroller over the web, but these services are either too complicated to get started, or they aren’t particularly fun to use. So, we decided to experiment with our own system, and that is how Adafruit IO got started.

To start, please visit https://io.adafruit.com, and take a look around. You can also visit our comprehensive tutorial located on the Adafruit Learning System.

To make it easy for people to get started using Arduino or ESP8266 we have starter packs with just about everything you may want to connect to the internet, with known-working WiFi modules!
