Sorry, new to Lora, what I am trying to do is received sensor data located at multiple locations on the plantation to capture mainly soil moisture, temperature etc, I gather the received info and put it in Home Assistant installed on an Orange Pi in the house. I experimented with multiple modules and boards (Cube Cell AB01, E32 EBYTE with ESP32, Lora Radio Node v1.0, TTGO) and they all work individually and can transmit and receive Lora messages using 2 of the same "brand" one receiver and one transmitter. Now I tried transmitting from one transmitter from one "brand" and receiving in a receiver from another "brand", but could never get this to work. It is true that each brand/code format the packet differently, but still I would expect the receiver from another "brand" to be able to at least receive the packet, no matter the format. Before I start putting up codes etc, is this at all possible, or am I wasting my time? I am not interested in using LoraWan and TTN, just want the sensor data in Home Assistant. Has anybody done that?

If two LoRa devices from the SX127X range are set to the same frequency, spreading factor, bandwidth, packet type and coding rate they will talk to each other. That the LoRa devices are modules from different brands makes no difference.
On the whole SX126X devices are also compatible with SX127X devices, apart from spreading factors 5 and 6 on the SX126X which the SX127X will not recognise some setups.
