Koen Vervloesem shows you how to use ChirpStack’s LoRaWAN implementation to set up long-range wireless traffic for sensors even if you are far from a WiFi access point

So apparently #Chirpstack can't convert float data from received packets and the best workaround is to convert the float to int in our #LoRaWAN sensors. This world is broken.

I really tried. I went through the docs, various threads, but to no avail. Can't find a way to change the reporting interval of a Makerfabs Agrosense #LoRaWan temperature sensor. There are easy steps for TTN, but not the raw code I could send from #ChirpStack.

Fiiinally got the selfhosted #freesoftware #lorawan sheep tracking system for our farm, to reach a working condition!
I stubbornly wanted to run all components in #kubernetes as a learning experience and to ease rollout on other farms, but wooow did I do a lot of learning.
#milesight AT101 trackers and UG67 gateways, connected via mqtt to #chirpstack, with GUI courtesy of #Thingsboard.
I'll clean up the infra a bit and tie it better together, before releasing as playbook, helm or opentofu :)

The #LoRaWAN sensors are moving to a new gateway. Much easier here on Mastodon than in #ChirpStack. https://circumstances.run/@Szescstopni/112832495282564654

Can't find a way to move devices between applications in #ChirpStack so I'll have to do it manually. Like an animal.

The more I dig deeper into #ChirpStack the more issues I see. This might be because I don't have full access to the server, should have my own set up in a few days when the new computer arrives (10 yo, but new to me). I'm working on a codec for one device because the one supplied throws js errors and looks like something a drunk llm generated. What really sucks is that Chirpstack won't recode raw data when I modify the codec. And js sucks too, but I really really don't have the time to RTFM for it. I need to get my #LoRaWAN running, and most the work will be on deenshittification of the sensors.

I got passive roaming working between two different ChirpStack instances (netids 000000 and 00001). Yay! Except... Join server is something else and ChirpStack doesn't do it. Boo! #LoRaWAN #ChirpStack
