LHA
Self-HostedOpen-source self-hosted IoT platform for LoRaWAN devices
Overview
LHA is an open-source, self-hosted IoT solution tailored for LoRaWAN-enabled devices, enabling home and small industrial automation. It supports device registration, real-time sensor data tracking (temperature, humidity, motion), rule-based triggers (e.g., turn on lights when motion is detected), and local data storage to protect privacy. Deployable via Docker or bare-metal servers, it integrates with most LoRaWAN gateways and offers a user-friendly dashboard for monitoring and control. Lightweight and scalable, it’s ideal for users seeking full control over their IoT infrastructure without cloud dependencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
? Is LHA hard to install?
LHA is designed for easy deployment with Docker, reducing setup complexity. You’ll need a LoRaWAN gateway and basic Docker/server knowledge. Official docs include step-by-step guides for installation, gateway integration, and device setup, making it accessible for tech-savvy users.
? Is LHA a good alternative to cloud-based IoT platforms like AWS IoT Core?
Yes! LHA avoids cloud dependencies, lets you retain full data control, and has no subscription costs—ideal for privacy-conscious users or those with limited internet access, unlike AWS IoT Core.
? Is LHA completely free to use?
Yes! LHA is open-source under the MIT License—free to download, use, and modify. Costs only apply to hardware (LoRaWAN gateway, sensors) and server resources for self-hosting.
