On a positive note :). I have a KNOT with LoRa (+ 3rd party temp sensor) running 7.17beta5, connected to mosquitto and an old erlang lorawan-server container on RB1100 to run entire LoRaWAN ecosystem entirely on RouterOS. This has [surprisingly] worked flawless in 7.17 (other than the various broken RAID issues I’ve reported) … while previously in 7.16 with the same setup, the KNOT occasionally seems to lose LoRa messages over time (which could be a lot of things too). So despite the long list of IOT and LoRa changes in 7.17… those did NOT break anything. And FCnt is pretty useful to check for lost messages. The KNOT is actually one of my test devices for a few months, and it has not had any issue with beta/rc from 7.15+ - why y’all don’t hear about that one as much as the wAP and RB1100 ;).
Still it’s one step forward, two steps back here…
