UniCT-ARSLab/LWN-Simulator: A LoRaWAN nodes’ and network simulator that works with a real LoRaWAN environment (such as Chirpstack) and equipped with a web interface for real-time interaction. (github.com) I suggest this LoRaWAN nodes’ simulator to simulate a LoRaWAN Network, equipped with a web interface. It allows communication with a real infrastructure LoRaWAN or ad-hoc infrastructure, such as Chirpstack. It is equipped with a Web GUI to manage the simulator instance and virtual nodes/gatew…

You could use the v3 branch of GitHub - brocaar/chirpstack-simulator at v3.

Please note, v3 is very outdated. If performance is a concern, please upgrade to v4 as it contains many (performance) improvements.
