How To Setup LoRa Home Automation
Application
In Windows
Download the GatePi directory from GitHub and enter the
window application folder; you should notice one application
named "Lora Home Automation" inside this folder.

Run the application; after it is completed, you will see a folder
entitled "imp" that has been formed automatically. This is where
you'll find your user name and password.
LoRa HAT, Pico Lora Expansion, RangePi, and more items can be
used. For instance, I use the LoRa HAT for this. Connect the device
to the laptop via USB cable by changing the jumper wire to "USB-
LoRa(1)" and leaving the jumper wires on M0 and M1.

Now you may operate the GatePi by hitting the buttons, which
are configured as a single ON/OFF switch. When you press button
1 once, for example, relay 1 turns on; when you press button 1
again, relay 1 turns off.

When you press the "status of relay" button, the button turns
red, indicating that the relays are active.
You can also alter the Relay transmission code, which means that
when you hit the button in the GUI, the receiver will receive one
encoded code or encoded string (GatePi). Input the user name
and password, as well as the transmission code in the relay
1,2,3,4 entry box. Then select "Login/Update Relay Code" from
the drop-down menu. When you push the button, all of the entry
boxes are empty or blank, indicating that the encode code has
been correctly altered. This is not required; the default encode
code is present; however, if you want to alter it, you must also
update it in the "main.py" PICO code (mandatory)
