Hello. We need to count pulses coming from a meter with a reed switch and transmit to a PLC. Would this unit do the job?

I’m sure it could, though the same goes for pretty much anything that is programmable. A more modern option would be LoPy4

These looked promising, the implication is that the module has mesh protocol built-in.  
There are a few attempts at coaxing ordinary LoRa modules to mesh, mostly dead ends. Has anyone built a working system using these things?  
The datasheet is woefully deficient, but [https://github.com/Arduinolibrary/LoRa\_Wireelss\_Modules\_YL](https://github.com/Arduinolibrary/LoRa_Wireelss_Modules_YL) seems to be the ‘root’ example of it, as both Mouser & DigiKey refer to it. No  
Maybe better just to ignore these oddball things and use PyCom?
