BetterLiving devices communicate using LoRaWAN, a long-range, low-power wireless technology designed for remote monitoring. Devices send data to a BetterLiving gateway, which connects to the internet via your existing Wi-Fi network or a 4G connection.
Depending on terrain and installation, devices can communicate with the gateway from distances of more than 5 kilometres.
Yes. While BetterLiving monitoring devices do not connect directly to Starlink, the BetterLiving gateway can use your Starlink internet connection to send monitoring data and alerts.
This makes Starlink an excellent option for properties without reliable broadband or cellular internet.
Yes. If your property does not have traditional internet or reliable cellular coverage, BetterLiving can be connected using Starlink. This allows the gateway to communicate with the cloud while your monitoring devices continue to communicate locally using LoRaWAN.
BetterLiving sends alerts when a monitored event or issue is detected. Notifications are delivered in real time, helping you respond quickly to changes such as low water levels, power outages, gate activity or unexpected presence.
