Best Practices for Managing Multiple End Devices on the Same Gateway?
2 days ago by Dean Perkins
Hey everyone,
I’m working on a LoRaWAN deployment where multiple end devices (from different vendors) are connected to the same gateway via The Things Stack. I'm trying to optimize both reliability and airtime usage.
My question is:
What are some best practices or common pitfalls to avoid when managing multiple end devices through a single gateway on TTS?
More specifically:
Is there an ideal way to stagger transmissions to avoid collisions?
Are there known issues with mixing devices that use different versions of the LoRaWAN spec (e.g., 1.0.2 vs 1.0.3)?
Any tools or dashboard features you recommend for monitoring traffic and health across all devices?
Appreciate any real-world insights or lessons learned from your setups. Thanks in advance!
