Hi,

I’m new on the LoRaWan forum and would like to realise a ebike tracker.
In the first step, I just want to create a simple LoraWAN tracker.
At the end, I would like to :

When I go ride, the tracker can detect my phone with a BLE beacon. If the phone is no more detected and the bike move, then it should send me an alarm through LoRaWan on my phone.

If the bike move or is not at Home position, reporting the position of the bike every 10 minutes.

Have an application on my phone to read tracker position. Is it possible?

Can you advice me on :

Do I need to buy a LoRaWAN gateway ? I suppose that if a gateway is in my zone, the LoRAWAN device will be detected by any gateway.

I’m in Belgium and I need to create an account on a LoRaWan server. This part is not clear for me. If I chose one platform working in Belgium, then will it also work in France on other Network. In other words, are all Network interconnected?

I also see that the TTN V3 is now the new version. Should I also be care when I choose the hardware or is it only at the software level ?

With which hardware I can start ? I’m a bit lost with all those possibilities.
