TheThingsNetwork

ChirpStack MQTT Forwarder
1

Hello,

I have two devices connected via ChirpStack Gateway OS Full running on a Raspberry Pi and SX1302 Concentratord, but I need the packets forwarded to TheThingsNetwork, ideally have the packets decoded on ChirpStack as well, can I use MQTT Forwarder “Mesh” to just add a second MQTT service / TheThingsNetwork?

If I use Slot 1 (where’s Slot 2?) to put my TheThingsNetwork config then all I see in Status > System Log is errors. I’m not sure if the server should be tcp:// or ssl:// I’ve read conflicting messages…

TCP gives -
user.err chirpstack-mqtt-forwarder[26667]: MQTT error, error: Timeout

SSL gives -
user.err chirpstack-mqtt-forwarder[26974]: MQTT error, error: I/O: connection closed by peer

I have used SSH to connect to the gateway shell and I am able to see eu1.cloud.thethings.network

Any help troubleshooting this is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

No the “mesh” feature is a Chirpstack feature for having multiple gateway mesh together to send lorawan packets between them, it has nothing to do with sending to multiple servers. I think the only way you could accomplish having data go to both Chirpstack and TTN was if your gateway supported two servers in the UDP packet forwarder. Or else just duplicating the UDP packet to another server with a middle man or something.
