How to decide between generic designs or new LoRaWAN product development
summary
Recommendation: start with off-the-shelf sensors to get data fast — battery microclimate devices deploy and produce useful readings immediately — then move to a generic node from The Things Industries when prototypes need a tweak: the phenocam plus microbial fuel cell demo ships a few‑dozen units and validates the idea without big hardware spend. Only pursue fully custom when scale or extreme power/feature needs justify the cost — tracking collars for rhinos and underwater tags prove custom designs can reach required battery life and integration.
