Paul & Christian & al,

You remind me to tack on another shameless plug for our event a week ago
http://thethingsnetwork.pr.co/142323-building-an-open-internet-of-things-network-for-everyone-in-switzerland

Which featured some textile hacking
https://www.instructables.com/id/Voodoo-Sonic-LoRaWAN-connected-Doll/

And plenty of data collection... e.g.:
https://now.makezurich.ch/project/13

Cheers,
Oleg
