ESPHome equivalent for low power long range comms?

[TommySharpNZ (Tommy)]

I need to create some sensors that are not close to power or wifi and have been hunting for a framework like ESPHome that can be used for arduino that has OTA flashing etc and runs well on batteries.

In the past I have seen/used “mysensors” but wondering if there is something else?

Zigbee?

e.g.

DIY Zigbee 4x DS18B20 temperature measurement

I needed to read and record 4 temperature sensors on my central heating system and I wanted to use Zigbee as a reliable protocol. Here is how I did it, no rocket science but a lot of interesting details. Hardware: DS18B20 sensors & CC2530 Zigbee module [hardware] Schematic: [project.001] Real life: [Ds18b204k7] Software: The CC2530 module is flashed with the great PTVO configurable firmware (https://ptvo.info/zigbee-switch-configurable-firmware-v2-210/). Flashing is done with the CC …

I need about 300m of range so I don’t think zigbee or zwave could do that?
I suspect Lora might be suitable and I did see something about ESPHome potentially supporting Lora at some point?
