How to connect sensor node to a gateway

mtuchi commented 5 years ago

Hello @CongducPham, Am trying out to use waziup for soil moisture monitoring so far i have hit a deadlock on connecting the sensor to communicate with the gateway.

My sensor node setup

Am using a Arduino Pro Mini with the free PCB boards that was provided in the LowCostLoraGW repo, with the soldered radio module RF95W

img_20190216_141458

My gateway setup

Raspeberry pi 3, radio module is RF95W, I have followed the tutorial on setting up the gateway, So everything is up to date, PABOOST is enabled

Gateway troubleshoot

I still can not see the gateway on the dashboard (Maybe because i have made it private). But am not sure why it's not showing. Also on troubleshooting the gateway i got the following logs

Help of any kinda will be much appreciated

I think that you have problem with your radio module or antenna. Are you sure it is an antenna for 868MHz? check also the connection plug of the antenna.

How do i confirm if it's the antenna for 868MHz ?

But my gateway is not receiving the data from the sensor or it does receive but doesn't send to the cloud. Here is my gateway logs

I have enabled all clouds but still doesn't send the data to clouds

CongducPham commented 5 years ago

It is because you have encryption on the device but didn't enable decryption on the gateway. The simplest thing to do is to disable encryption on the device by commenting the WITH_AES line on the device and flash again.

After commenting the WITH_AES, The new gateway logs doesn't seems to be sending data to the clouds

I don’t see why it is not uploading. Please provide clouds.json file. Besides at the device, uncomment PABOOST.

Yes i have uncomment PABOOST in device, it's just the gateway now, it's not sending the data it receives
