Why install a LoRaWAN gateway?

A LoRaWAN gateway opens the door to thousands of off-the-shelf LoRa sensors — temperature, humidity, soil, tanks, gates, meters — right at home, in your home automation or your business platform. That is the job of Awaro, our LoRaWAN box, available in two versions: Pro IP67 (ruggedised all-in-one enclosure, €189 incl. VAT) and Lowtech (USB, €108 incl. VAT).

On the farm side, the maths is quickly done: most of our sensors come in a GSM version (SIM included) and a cheaper LoRa version. From 3 or 4 sensors on the same site, the gateway pays for itself on the price difference, and every additional sensor widens the saving. A single box covers several hundred metres to several kilometres depending on terrain — including where the mobile network does not reach. And everything reports to the same Supervisor, which also accepts LoRaWAN sensors from other brands.

What this box does that the others do not

First, simplicity. A classic LoRaWAN gateway is only a relay: it picks up the radio signal and forwards it, encrypted, to a server you have to run somewhere — The Things Network cloud, or a ChirpStack instance to install, host and maintain. Awaro gives you the choice, from a straightforward interface:

The built-in LoRaWAN server: your sensors are authenticated (OTAA), their readings decrypted and decoded on the spot, then delivered straight to your network — up to 128 sensors on a single box. Less data consumed, webhooks handled locally, no cloud dependency.
Your usual servers: the box transmits to TTN or ChirpStack, up to two external servers simultaneously (the fastest one answers).
Hybrid mode: your declared sensors are handled locally, the rest of the traffic is relayed to your servers.

Then, the argument that changes everything for the home as much as for the farm: Home Assistant and Domoticz work natively, with no plugin — Domoticz compatibility has been validated without any external plugin. Your sensors show up on their own, decoded in plain text thanks to the built-in decoding assistant (Dragino decoders included). Concretely: thousands of LoRaWAN sensors on the market become usable at your place, within minutes, with nothing to host.

Compared with the gateways on the market

Retail prices observed in July 2026 — check them, they change:

Gateway	Observed price	Pro	Local server + MQTT
SenseCAP M2 (Seeed)	~$99	no	no (relay only, cloud required)
Dragino LPS8v2	~€196	no	yes (built-in ChirpStack)
Dragino DLOS8N	~€272	IP65	no
RAK WisGate Edge Pro	~€537	IP67	yes
Milesight UG67	~€905	IP67	yes
Awaro Pro (FURGO)	€189 incl. VAT	IP67	yes
Awaro Lowtech (FURGO)	€108 incl. VAT	no	yes

The picture: gateways with a local server do exist — Dragino embeds a ChirpStack, RAK and Milesight have their self-contained models. But a weatherproof outdoor box with a local LoRaWAN server currently costs over €300 — and up to €900; and the affordable models remain indoor boxes, often complex to configure. Awaro Pro does all of it for €189 incl. VAT — with, above all, a set-up designed for non-IT people, and power consumption ten times lower than Linux-based gateways (~0.4 W versus 5 to 10 W), which makes it genuinely solar-powerable.

The two versions, side by side

	Awaro Pro IP67	Awaro Lowtech
Use	outdoors, all-in-one, ruggedised	indoors, home automation (Home Assistant, Domoticz…)
Enclosure	waterproof IP67, antenna mounted on it, sealed connectors	compact, not waterproof
Power	waterproof M8 connector, 12 V supply included	USB only
Temperature	−40 to +85 °C (industrial electronics)	−20 to +65 °C
4G	optional, integrated in the enclosure (€240 incl. VAT)	—
Price	€189 incl. VAT	€108 incl. VAT

The software — built-in server, decoders, integrations, free updates — is identical in both.

Already using LoRaWAN gateways?

Here is what changes with this one:

A genuinely weatherproof unit, with the antenna directly on the radio (Pro version). No remote antenna with its metres of coax and their losses: here it is the power supply that gets extended (a long DC cable to the M8 connector), and the radio stays right next to its antenna. The radio link budget benefits immediately.
No dependency on TTN or ChirpStack for simple needs: the server is built in. And if you use them anyway, the gateway transmits to two network servers simultaneously — or combines local and external in hybrid mode.
Decoded readings, not hexadecimal payloads: built-in decoding assistant, Dragino decoders included, per-sensor history exportable as CSV.
Sensor batteries that last: automatic ADR adjusts each sensor’s radio data rate as soon as it joins — with no tuning on your part.
An ultra-simplified configuration interface, with one-click configuration backup and restore, and free choice of the Gateway ID.
Repairable, with no forced end of life: replaceable radio module, board trimmed down to the essentials (processor + radio), published hardware plans. The market has just seen several consumer gateways abandoned by their manufacturer; this one is designed to outlive them.

The full manual is delivered by e-mail — set-up, built-in server, connection to Home Assistant, Domoticz or ChirpStack, troubleshooting. Awaro also has its own dedicated page: awaro.fr.

Frequently asked questions

Pro or Lowtech: how do I choose?

The Pro version (€189 incl. VAT) is an all-in-one ruggedised IP67 enclosure built to live outside: waterproof M8 connector, 12 V supply included, industrial electronics from −40 to +85 °C, optional integrated 4G. The Lowtech version (€108 incl. VAT) simply plugs in over USB, is rated from −20 to +65 °C, is not waterproof, and targets home automation networks such as Home Assistant or Domoticz. The software is identical in both.

GSM or LoRa: how do I choose?

For 1 to 3 isolated sensors, the GSM version (SIM card included) remains the simplest: nothing to install. From several sensors grouped on the same site, the LoRa gateway becomes worthwhile: LoRa sensors cost less and a single gateway collects them all.

Do I need a subscription or an external server?

No — you choose. Either the LoRaWAN server embedded in the box: sensors authenticated, readings decrypted on site and delivered onto your network, with data savings and webhooks handled locally. Or forwarding to an external server (TTN, ChirpStack), up to two simultaneously. Or both at once, in hybrid mode.

Does it work with Home Assistant?

Yes, natively and with no plugin: the box publishes every decoded reading and Home Assistant discovers it on its own. Same on Domoticz, where compatibility has been validated without any external plugin. Jeedom and Node-RED tap into the same MQTT stream, and a direct USB stream is also available.

What if there is no internet or electricity on site?

On the Pro version, the 4G option (€240 incl. VAT) integrates the modem right inside the enclosure, with a built-in sensor filter to save on the data plan. On the power side, the box draws around 0.4 W at idle: a small solar panel with a battery is enough.

What if my WiFi changes or goes down?

You never lose access: the box tests the connection before adopting it (showing the address it will get), and if its WiFi becomes unreachable, it automatically reopens its own backup network so you can reconfigure it.

What happens if the gateway crashes?

A second, independent microcontroller monitors it permanently and restarts it automatically if needed. It is designed to run alone, for a long time, far away.

Can I repair it?

Yes: the radio module is replaceable, the board is trimmed down to the essentials (processor and radio module), and the hardware plans are published (open hardware). Software updates are free. No forced end of life.
