We successfully set up an end node that sending data to TTN, but right now I’m stuck with a downlink messages issue. We need to set up a working downlink to have the ability to control relays on our sensor from the Web-page.
What we are using:
Sensor:
Arduino Mega + Dragino Shield + sensors + relays
TX over OTAA works nice
Gateway:
Dragino lg308
Usually sensor in coverage of one more somebody else gateway
After sending the downlink request to TTN, I’ve got a message in the TTN console that the downlink is scheduled but that’s all, sensors not receiving any data, and the message looks like not going to the gateway.
I am trying to debug using integrated into lg308 gateway firmware LoRa logger, but the log is unclear for me
I think the TTN console gateway log would be helpful but for some reason in the TTN stack version log not working for some people (like me) all over the world as well as the gateway offline status issue, I found a TTN article about that.
I am attaching screenshots maybe they would be helpful:
Any advice or support on how I can debug downlink would be very appreciated
Attaching my end node code:
