Lack of Documentation and any useful Tutorials. With the exception of a 4 page document describing how to connect to this device using your laptop and a HTTP connection, I was unable to find any useful "Jaycar" documentation about configuring this device to talk with a LoRa shield at a remote site across the 915Mhz Carrier Frequency connection.

I've found numerous Internet documents about "Dragino" LoRa gateways which appear to be the real device behind this Duinotech Clone device, and has been useful in getting me started on this project. Jaycar have a lot to answer for with this product...they haven't made it easy.

This is a link to a Jaycar Project which is a remote control from a Duinotech Uno/LoRa Shield to another identical device. It doesn't use a Gateway device. It's called "LoRa Remote Relay"

https://www.jaycar.com.au/lora-remote

It has useful links to the code behind the project itself, and could be useful for the remote node in my project.

At the bottom of the document there is a link to download the ZIP file for the project with all he Sketches

"LoRa-Remote-Relay.zip"

I found a useful article on the internet by a fellow who attempted to complete a similar thing I'm doing. He is also a GitHub subscriber who I now follow called Jon Robinson (aegis1980)

Here is his project on his own personal website ......

But I also found a repository in Git Hub for a similar type of projects between a Shield and the Jaycar Hub
