Private LoRaWAN Node with TTN Gateway
Build a Private LoRaWAN Node That Talks to Any TTN Gateway — Advanced IoT Project Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Deploy your own long-range environmental monitor without relying on cellular or Wi‑Fi. This kit walks you through building an OTAA‑joined LoRaWAN sensor node that captures temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, then pushes the data to The Things Network. Watch the decoded JSON payload appear live in the TTN console — the exact experience you need when designing private IoT networks for agricultural fields, industrial sheds, or campus-wide smart infrastructure.
What You'll Build
A battery‑powered, weatherproof endpoint that reports multi‑sensor readings every few minutes. It registers with any TTN V3 gateway using Over‑The‑Air Activation, encrypts the payload, and displays the structured data on the TTN dashboard. The IP65‑rated enclosure keeps the electronics safe outdoors, while the LiPo cell and TP4056 charger let you field‑test for days without swapping batteries.
What You'll Learn
- Configure OTAA activation and securely join a TTN gateway
- Interface DHT22 and BMP280 sensors with Arduino to capture temperature, humidity, and pressure
- Tune LoRa SX1278 parameters (spreading factor, bandwidth) for kilometer-range transmission
- Decode raw payloads to JSON and set up data forwarding rules in The Things Network console

Who This Kit Is For
IoT engineers prototyping long‑range sensor networks, researchers building private LoRaWAN coverage for agriculture or smart city pilots, and B.Tech/M.Tech students tackling advanced communication projects. If you’re preparing for the Smart India Hackathon, setting up an NPTEL IoT lab, or extending an ATL Tinkering Lab’s connectivity stack, this kit gives you hands‑on experience with a real‑world LPWAN deployment.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The included AI companion walks you through each step, from soldering the breakout to registering your device on TTN. If you need human help, reach our team via WhatsApp for same-day guidance.
Do I need an existing TTN gateway?
Yes, you need access to a TTN V3 gateway within range. This kit builds the end node, not the gateway. If you don’t have one, check the public gateway map on TTN — many cities in India now have coverage.
Is soldering experience required?
Yes, this is an advanced kit. You’ll solder SMD passives and modules onto a prototype board. The included soldering iron and wire are suitable for the job; if you’re new to soldering, we recommend starting with a simpler kit first.
Can I modify the code to send data to my own server?
Absolutely. The Arduino code is open and well‑commented; you can switch from TTN to a private ChirpStack instance or any MQTT broker. The AI companion can guide you through the necessary changes.
