Hi,

One of the potential customers in Indonesia is asking about PcVue interfacing with LoRaWAN devices through Multitech gateways.
However, the gateway MTCDT-H5-210A which was used to test the svmgr dll is not out of production.

Is this protocol is supported by PcVue even on different versions/models of Gateways, or is it only specifically tied to that one model?

Hello Andy,

Sorry for my late reply - I was off for a period.

Personally I don't encourage you to use the SvMgrLoRa library, but MQTT driver instead.
If the new Multitech gateway support Node-Red (and it's quite sure) you can convert LoRa payload into an MQTT topic.

If you're using Adeunis devices here you can find some decoders: https://codec-adeunis.com/download

I adapted the Adeunis script to publish an MQTT topic.
You need a Mosquitto broker somewhere (the Multitech Conduit LoRa gateway I have in my office it's old and it has not enough memory to run an MQTT broker - but it can easily run as a service in the same PcVue VM or PC).

In the attached .txt file you have also the flow I'm using (it's able to use the right decoder according with device type and publish the payload on an MQTT topic named as the device EUI.
