I take it the neighbours don't know you have installed it, in their bedrooms.

Not sure how useful a binary door sensor in the bedroom will be ? . Worth a shot though

OMG!

 

LoRa WORKS!

Went to the end of the street still a strong signal!. Amazing!!! 

What's the full list of parts you used?
I've been faffing with various sensors for shed at bottom of garden - wifi coverage is great there, but sucks for battery life.  I've now bit bullet and pulled Loxone tree down there.  But Lora always seemed an interesting one

Check out YoLink on Amazon . It’s the U.K. frequency but they tend to bundle with a hub . They have an outside door sensor I want but only with a hub ; but I have a hub ! . I’ve emailed them !

Though if you e got good WiFi - then I’m sure you could come up with some means of powering ? . YoLink stuff ‘claims’ years of battery life depending on type . Not tested that . I’m just blown away it worked over such a range and interfaces into home assistant well . 
I now know when postie has dumped a parcel in my bin ( not a euphemism ) . Little things please little minds ….
