From the project

Teapot BWLR1B: Wireless Environmental Sensor over LoRa

Teapot BWLR1B is a wireless LoRa environmental sensor capable of sensing temperature, humidity, air pressure and air quality using the on-board BME680. By using an STM32WLE MCU, the device is capable of multi-year operation before changing the batteries

Teapot BWLR1B is part of Teapot open-hardware project.

On top of their technical expertise, their customer support has been responsive, and easy to work with.
