We bought some RAK2270 Sticker Generic and Developer. The problem is that we aren´t finding documentation how to do the basic steps, for example, I don´t know where we can find LoRa Ids: DEV EUI, APP EUI and APP KEY in each sticker neither any kind of documentation about “how to create our own firmware”.
Just a short backstory for the RAK LoRaWAN Sticker, it was intended to run plug-and-play without any configuration, however it only works on Helium network and we got many request of onboarding it to customers’ own LNS.
Because of this, we launched RAK2270-Generic and RAK2270-Developer variants.
Since you got RAK2270-Generic you should have the OTAA credentials. Please send me the order details via private message so I can check. You can use the OTAA credentials of your sticker to onboard it to your network. After activation, it should start sending packets every hour with temperature and battery data. The payload decoder is based on CayenneLPP.
Carl: I would like to ask what the best practice workaround for the attenuation problem when attached to metals – other than more gateways.
We’re in a similar situation where we want to attach the stickers to metal bins of roughly 80L size and we’re observing the drastic attenuation you described. We attached it directly though, will try to distance it a bit for the next test.
You cannot directly attached it to metals or place it very near to it since it drastically alters the RF propagation profile of the antenna very badly. I do not think there is a work around on this other than adding a close by gateway.
We already tried to find the information in the official documentation: RAK2270 Sticker Tracker | RAKwireless Documentation Center
