receive a request for device status information from a user device, wherein the request includes an indication of a geographic range for device status information;
determine whether the apparatus is within the indicated geographic range of the user device; and
in response to determining that the apparatus is within the indicated geographic range of the user device:
determine status information of the apparatus;
generate and transmit a first LoRaWAN signal requesting status information of one or more other devices within the indicated geographic range of the user device; and
transmit obtained status information to the user device using a second LoRaWAN signal, the obtained status information including the determined status information of the apparatus.
