@storm-1050 you mean the server is running on the module (WiPy, GPy…) on the Pygate? Or is it running on your computer? If the latter you’ll need them to speak to each other, so you’ll need WiFi or Ethernet. Not sure if you would actually need Internet in this scenario. Have you tried it? What was the result?

@peterp Thank you Peter, for the friendly response and the clarification.

Pygate needs a lot of RAM. As suggested in the docs you can turn off LTE or Wifi (whichever you don't need) https://docs.pycom.io/tutorials/expansionboards/pygate/#setup

@Gijs I managed to get the event payload to the higher level, thanks for the hint! I can see the whole diagram sent which is built by the packet forwarder, ie the full PUSH_DATA packet as per Semtech specs. Basically, I can do this now: elif (evt & machine.PYGATE_LORA_EVT): print('LoRa Event') print(arg, end='\n') print('\n') and get normal Python byte string with PUSH_DATA packet in arg

Finally, my problem is Solved : With pygate, no need to register the device EUI, just create one from scratch ! (and edit config.json accordingly) as the doc says

@Gijs Thanks a lot! I was now able to implement it with Node-RED querying the TTN Gateway API as you suggested, and sending a Telegram message whenever the status of the gateway changes from on-line to off-line or vice versa. The link you provided gave me the script needed in Node-RED. And the following YouTube video showed me how to set up a Telegram bot: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsM4CbMGWmU&ab_channel=ElectricalEngineering](link url). It took me a while to also realize that you need to specify your personal chat ID in the Telegram Payload node in Node-RED. Once I did that, it worked like a charm.

@sarya said in PyGate with Gpy India Frequencies: m based out of India and was wondering which configuration to use to set up a gateway using this setup. If anyone can share a snippet it would be great as I don't want to brick the devices. Thanks Hi, I will have this information available in the documentation very soon. In the meantime, you can use this: You can find the config file for your region here Make a file called config.json in your project and paste the appropriate region settings to that file Add the following to the bottom of the config.json file:... } ], "gateway_ID": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "keepalive_interval": 10, "stat_interval": 30, "push_timeout_ms": 100, "forward_crc_valid": true, "forward_crc_error": false, "forward_crc_disabled": false } } Edit the gateway_ID to reflect yours.

@Gijs said in Pygate RX Sensitivity: Adding the SNR_min and Ptx, gives an even higher link budget IMHO this has not anything to do with the actual physics. It's just calculated numbers.

@Gijs Yes! Tested rc11 yesterday and it worked just fine. Thx!

@Gijs thank you very much for your response.

Another solution to this which seems a lot cleaner IMO is to change the antenna gain in the config.json file such that when the system substracts the commanded TX power (coming from the server) with the antenna gain, it finds a valid RF power in the lookup table. So in my case, if I set the antenna gain to 8 dBi, then the server would go and find the parameters corresponding to 20 dBm (which is tx_lut_11): "tx_lut_11": { "pa_gain": 3, "mix_gain": 9, "rf_power": 20, "dig_gain": 0 } This was suggested to me by Tony over on the Chirpstack forum: https://forum.chirpstack.io/t/configure-gw-tx-power-on-a-per-gw-basis/8997/9?u=danalvarez Thanks Tony!

@ProfFalken I have a Pygate + LoPy4 sucessfully talking to Chirpstack server over WiFi. Have you been able to resolve this? Maybe I can help.

@jetatomic I see this is an old post but wanted to response. That is correct. The Gateway is LoRa enabled and backhaul (when using GPy) allows for cellular use or Wi-Fi. Using the POE adapter will give you Ethernet backhaul in addition. Thanks
