I used a code base derived from @lex_ph2lb to get this result.
Both, I’m using then standalone when I need LoRa only, and I couple them with ESP32 when I need to add WiFi or BLE,

hmm, interesting. Would be interesting to see how sensor reading and encoding is done on one of these standalone modules. Have no clue how you even program them.
true… I’ll try a few different usb-serial modules first 
Absolutely, got some 
and of course I’ll have to ask… where can I find it , lex’s code ?
for battery level I have CH2I lib so no resister divider
14399 nA … WOW… I’m jealous 
I think he maybe is using this one as described in this post :
@pe1mew, please correct me if i’m wrong.

Last but not least, got 1mA sleep mode, but better after putting flash to sleep

I need to write a small sketch just to test sleep mode for this modules with RFM95 modules
Q : maybe stupid, but if we leave the protection diode on the board and use a 3v6 battery ?
will the voltage drop enough to ‘protect’ the mcu/rfm95
A: You will loose 0.6 Volt of “use”. When the battery voltage drops the node will stop operating earlier than without.
BTW: I have abused RFM95 many times using 5V and they never failed me. (lucky me)
yes… but with the BOD set at 1.8 ?
Absolutely not stupid, that’s the deal, what I’m doing first is to think how board will be powered
- Lipo : leave protect diode (to protect if on board charger and connected with USB) and regulator
- 3.6V battery remove LDO and Diode
so the first if “how the board will be powered”

amazing, same for me, latest was even with RN2483 module
you two should buy a lottery ticket today !

I fried LoRaDuino yesterday, putting FTDI reversed and with 5V, no smoke nor either, but no more upload
Removed diode and LDO
In my Lora-Radio-Node
Buzzer and moisture-oultet shall be added later.
