Adding Elsys ERS2 sensors - no LoRaWan frames / OTAA

Devices

Hi!

I tried to set-up my lora network and facing issues with adding devices.
I’m using a Kerlink ifemtocell evolution gateway that is connected to the network server. I’m now trying to add Elsys ERS2 sensors but I’m not receiving any LoRaWan frames.
I think I set-up the device profile properly, based on the specs of the devices. I also added the AppKey for OTAA, but I’m nowhere seeing joinrequests or something related to an activation process.

Besides some UnconfirmedDataUp frames the gateway doesn’t receive anything.

A couple questions:

When you go to the device’s page itself and click on events is there anything there or is it blank?

What region are you using?

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

So, I figured out the issue… Turns out the events section was completely blank, which meant no joinrequests were coming from the sensor. I double-checked by testing the signal frequency, and sure enough, the sensors weren’t sending any signal at all.

Long story short: the power supply was just too wimpy. Rookie mistake, I know :see_no_evil:. I swapped in some higher-voltage batteries, and now they’re working like a charm!
