ChatterBox Supports MQTT + LoRa!

Written By Matt Calhoun

ChatterBox now allows you to bridge any distance with your private cluster or channel using MQTT! More info is coming, soon, but you can set up cloud/MQTT on your device now. If you need an MQTT service, check out shiftr.io for a free or inexpensive option.

Instantly Send Encrypted/Signed Messages Any Distance

If you enable MQTT/cloud, your device will use both communication mediums, and become a bridge for your cluster.

Other on-cluster devices will appear as in-range neighbors if they are within LoRa range or if they are also cloud-connected.

A hosted option will likely be offered soon, but in the mean time, you can use a service such as shiftr.io.

Integrates seamlessly with your cluster or channel

  • Packets can be delivered via LoRa, MQTT, or any combination

  • Payloads remain end-to-end encrypted and signed at all times

  • 2 or more MQTT/cloud-enabled ChatterBox devices automatically form a cloud bridge for your cluster

  • Other on-cluster devices quickly learn to use the bridge for routing across the gap
