Because LightTracker is open source you can add your own custom sensors via I2C pins. LightTracker is available on https://shop.qrp-labs.com/lighttracker for order. -**Important :** LightTracker uses unlicensed ISM radio bands which does not require any license to operate. So everone can use LoRa & LoRaWAN modules. +**Important :** LightTracker uses unlicensed ISM radio bands which does not require any license to operate.
