Connect devices using LoRaWAN protocol with Azure IoT Central

Copper Contributor

Hello everyone,

 

I am currently working on developing an application using the Azure IoT Central.

Idea is to create a dashboard with device data overview.

Devices are sending data to the Loriot Network Server using the LoRaWAN communication protocol.

As I understand from the documentation, solution could be the IoT Central Device Bridge (developed for the Sigfox, Particle, and The Things Network, but could be tweaked for the other IOT clouds)

My concern is that there is a limitation with this solution, which only forwards messages to IoT Central, and does not send messages back to devices. And for our use case we need bidirectional communication.

 

Could you please help me with the right approach for this use case?

 

Best regards,

Nikola

Hi Nikola
I have a couple of projects for connecting Azure IoT Hubs/Central to The Things Network (looking at others). The initial TTN V3 version can do C2D and D2C with IoT Hubs (DPS as well) and Azure IoT Central (pretty much requires DPS).

The configuration can be quite complex for message routing etc.
