The Things Network V2 is Permanently Shutting Down (completed)

[htdvisser (Hylke Visser)]

It looks like the bot forgot to post a reply. Here’s the latest update:

@TheThingsNetwork

Today the routing services of The Things Network V2 were shut down.

Gateways that are still connected to The Things Network V2 will stay connected, and will keep forwarding traffic to Packet Broker. This forwarding service will stop somewhere in 2022 (the exact date will be announced later), so we recommend community members to migrate their gateways to The Things Stack (V3) sooner rather than later.

End Devices that were still connected to The Things Network V2 and have not been migrated to The Things Stack (V3) are now out of service.

We’re still cleaning up servers behind the scenes, but all public V2 APIs have been shut down.

So I’m afraid you’re too late, @s54mtb.

[s54mtb]

OK, thanks. I was trying in past several times without success. Looks it’s time to clean crap from the field and recycle to some new devices

@arjanvanb

what would break if somewhere after December 1st any remaining V2 gateway would just be migrated from V2 Console to V3 Console, and that old domain name would just become an alias for the new one?

Just for posterity, this was answered in Inaccessible gateways - #5 by htdvisser (ping @Kater).

I have created a new gateway and registered it but it shows status as disconnected how can I rectify it??

[Jeff-UK]

Details…please!

[Sivanesan_1007]

Sir I have created a lorawan gateway for college project and I have Created new gateway with Lora shield v1.3 and with Raspberry and got the Gateway Eui sir. And I have registered my gateway in ttn and given all the needed details but it shows status as disconnected sir.My Gateway EUi is B8 27 EB FF FF 34 1E 46.

@Sivanesan_1007

Lora shield v1.3

? What is this… link please. Is this a LoRaWAN concentrator card (using Sx1301/2/3) or just a device (node) HAT? If latter you cannot create a LoRaWAN gateway from that…

[Sivanesan_1007]

Sir it is a device Lora shield Hat sir

[Jeff-UK]

Then as stated you can’t make a gateway with that…were you directed to use this (e.g. by you lecturer/project supervisor?)

[Sivanesan_1007]

I just searched in the browser sir

[Jeff-UK]

That can be used to make a node only…e.g. a gps tracker, asset tracker or generic sensor but can’t be used as a gateway on TTN… you need a full 8 channel LoRaWAN NOT LoRa system. You can use your card for LoRa only, proprietary, e.g. point to point implementations…do not attempt to set up as a gateway and connect to TTN as they are disruptive to the network and other users. (Search Forum for SCPF of DCPF for discussions and explanations of why not).

[Sivanesan_1007]

Ok sir Thank you sir

[Jeff-UK]

For future ref please use search to find a topic suited to your issue/question or create a new one rather than hijacking an an existing, unrelated thread…and where there are responses to your earlier post please try to avoid deleting unless necessary as it leaves follow on comments potentially orphaned and nonsensical…

[Sivanesan_1007]

Ok sir

[LippunerEMT]

I forgot to migrate two of my (remote) devices. Is ther a possibility to download all configuration data from old v2 console? or is this too late as well?

[Jeff-UK]

Try the Take Out Tool…

Exporting V2 Device Registrations After the Shutdown

For community members who missed the warnings about the shutdown of TTN V2 we’ve been sending since February, for those who didn’t manage to migrate their devices before the migration deadline of September 30, for those who didn’t make it to the December 1 traffic API shutdown, and even for those who didn’t export their devices before the final shutdown of V2 on December 7, we are happy to announce our new The Things Network V2 Take-Out Tool. https://v2takeout.thethingsnetwork.org/ After signi…

[JimK (Jim Kirkby)]

I am all of the above!!

Off with COVID (fully jabbed I might add). So figured I’d put a bit more effort into finishing migration and tidying up my back end code (Node-Red).

Forgot about all the decoders! Horrible sinking feeling I was going to spend weeks not remembering which bits of code where Big Endian v Little Endian and world of other pain!!!

This just saved me weeks of work. Winner!

Thank you, this is awesome.

Jim

[JimK (Jim Kirkby)]

Actually, I didn’t miss any of the warnings. Saw them all, just left it to last minute.com

This update killed my node-red on 11 December. The ttn add in died and took node-red out. I was unable to upgrade TTN from V2 to V3 as there was zero support for us poor people outside of Europe. The upgrade tool did not work with AUS 925 MHz and despite numerous messages on this forum no-one provided any information. I gave up and abandonded my lora gateway (after almost 4 years) which was sad but with no support what else could I do. I was getting up to 2M messages a month so assume people in the community around me have also noticed it has gone.

The only support channel for community users was this forum - we all had equal access.

You don’t appear to have posted in the last six months, much has changed & been updated in that time.

If you leave your gateway turned on it will continue to work and continue to server the people around you. And gateway migration, in theory, is relatively simple compared to moving some devices.

Perhaps you could re-evaluate the situation?
