Check this product’s supported frequencies in the description/specs. - If you intend to operate outside shared/licence‑exempt conditions (e.g. in other bands, at higher power, with high‑gain antennas, or extended duty cycles), you must have the appropriate authorisation. **For use in other regions** - Follow the spectrum rules for your country/region and select frequencies and settings accordingly. A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=DFR1195:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/DFR1195:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description The LoRaWAN ESP32-S3 Development Board is a professional hardware focusing on long-range wireless communication and convenient development. With comprehensive compatibility for LoRa, LoRaWAN, and Meshtastic protocols, integration capability with the HomeAssistant ecosystem, and user-friendly hardware function design, it provides an efficient solution for LoRa/LoRaWAN developers and smart home users. **Comprehensive Support for LoRa/LoRaWAN/Meshtastic Communication Protocols with Strong Communication Compatibility** The LoRaWAN ESP32-S3 Development Board supports LoRa one-to-one communication, LoRa one-to-many communication, as well as the standard LoRaWAN protocol and Meshtastic networking protocol. It enables flexible communication between development boards or integration into LoRaWAN networks. The board uses Arduino for programming and provides easy-to-use library files and sample code. There is no need to have in-depth knowledge of LoRa/LoRaWAN communication protocols to use it, which greatly lowers the entry barrier. **Support for Integration with HomeAssistant (ESPHome) to Expand Long-Range Communication Capabilities** The LoRaWAN ESP32-S3 Development Board can be integrated into HomeAssistant via ESPHome, serving as a "long-range communication expansion unit" for the system. It effectively breaks through the distance limitations of traditional wireless communication, enhances signal coverage and transmission stability in complex environments (such as multi-story buildings, large residences, and outdoor scenarios), and expands the deployment range of smart home devices. **Rich Functions and High Usability, Significantly Improving Testing Efficiency** The functional design of the LoRaWAN ESP32-S3 Development Board centers on "high efficiency and ease of use". Through high hardware integration, it significantly reduces test preparation time and device connection complexity: 8. Visual Operation and Data Viewing: It integrates a 0.96-inch LCD screen and physical buttons. Without relying on external devices, you can view key information such as device operation data and communication status in real time. At the same time, you can quickly switch display interfaces through the buttons, making the operation intuitive and convenient. 9. Portable Battery Life, Free from Power Constraints: A dedicated lithium battery interface is designed, and charging function is integrated to support external lithium battery power supply. Whether it is used for indoor desktop testing or outdoor mobile scenarios, it can get rid of the limitation of fixed power supply, making the application scenarios more flexible. 10. Easy-to-Use IO Interfaces for Effortless Sensor Connection: It is equipped with convenient IO interfaces, allowing direct connection to various sensor devices such as temperature and humidity sensors, light sensors, and human motion sensors without soldering. This solves the tedious wiring and soldering work during project setup and enables efficient construction of project prototypes. ![Overview of ESP32-S3 LoRaWAN development board](https://dfimg.dfrobot.com/enshop/image/data/DFR1195/interfaces_0x0.jpg.webp) Figure: Overview of ESP32-S3 LoRaWAN development board ### Specification Basic Parameters 15.
