Support for SOUTHBOUND traffic in LORaWAN

[Anjali-NEC]

Hi @chicco785 @jason-fox @taliaga @roberto-castillo @fgalan

As per my understanding of the code there is no SOUTHBOUND supported in LoRaWAN. (Sending measures from Orion to LoRaWAN)

Please confirm my above understanding.

That is also my understanding of the current status. There are three classes of LoRaWAN devices. Actuation is only available on class B devices and class B comms are not supported yet.

confirm, the code allows only to receive notifications from mqtt queues of a lorawan server

Not sure if I'm understanding this correctly....

Do you mean that current version (as in master branch) of LoRaWAN agent is not able to send context updates to Context Broker?

[jason-fox]

Other way round @fgalan - measures into the South Port are supported, South Bound actuations are not.

Ok. I haven't cached that subtle detail... port vs bound ;)

Thanks!

Hi,
Is there any plan to make support of southbound in IoT agent LoRaWAN

I'm not in charge of this agent :) so I'll let others to tell.

Hi @jason-fox @chicco785
Currently we are integrating IoT agent LoRaWAN with Scorpio Broker so as per our understanding southbound is not supported. Is there any plan to make support of southbound in IoT agent LoRaWAN ?

Thanks.

@amitrnec I am not more active on project. Said that, former colleagues at Martel, may do some work on the agent if relevant for their business. cc @Cerfoglg @c0c0n3

Hi @amitrnec :-)

Thank you for bringing this up again. We do recognise the need and value of this feature. Issuing commands to devices should definitely be implemented at some point in time. Unfortunately, I'm not able to say when. As you know, Martel is a staunch open source supporter and prolific contributor, but, at the moment, as much as we'd love to, we're in no position to develop this feature. As usual though, we welcome contributions from the community...
