Hi Guys

I have a LoRa Gateway connected to The Things Network.

Using TTNV3, I have the Integration passing data to Home Assistant.

Does anyone know if you can directly configure LoRa to pass directly to Home Assistant, with out using The Things Stack on an internal network?

LoRa to MQTT?

I also would like this feature as I am using it in Client Mode and would be really handy to see the signal strength while testing with a customer.

If you had an UPS in-line and the issue is still there, I recommend upgrading all your cable to shielded.

You may want to look at installing a repeater in the middle of the two sites, if you do not have LOS, you loose throughput and performance very quickly.

For some reason the hotspot users are able to access a web camera on the internal network. The owner is not happy about this and wants it blocked as he does not know what else they can access.

Please do tell us all what the breakdown of the antenna, coax and radio and OS solutions are.

Woops, I was thinking 3ft, not meters. Thank you.

matt

I would say go for 5GHz as well, due to the fact that a 3ft dish for a 2.4GHz is say 26dB +/- , it would be near 32dB for 5GHz system. (Just guessing the increase in gain.)

Higher gain, more output Tx and better Rx.

matt

matt

How many do we need?

matt

msn.com, yahoo.com we had the same problem not working.

Yes, I belive so, we have tried so many things over the past months and it seems to have solved our WDS disconnection problems.

I would go for a MikroTik (RIC/522) 5.1-5.8Ghz Integrated Router Antenna at each end.

Hello samsoft08 First of all, most in the wireless industry will say that WiFi amplifiers will do more harm than not.

I have not overly sure on that one, if someone else answer that.

I have gone for their LAN's normally but, I have adjusted different interfaces on the fly and stop when it works.
