From the project

Teapotlabs BWLR1C: Wireless Environmental Sensor over LoRa with On-Board Antenna

Teapotlabs BWLR1C is a wireless LoRa environmental sensor capable of sensing temperature, humidity, air pressure and air quality using the on-board BME680. This device is an updated to Teapotlabs BWLR1B, by using the an on-board antenna. By using an STM32WLE MCU, the device is capable of multi-year operation before changing the batteries

Teapotlabs BWLR1C is part of Teapot open-hardware project.
