Demo Application for the Compact LoRaWAN Server

This repository contains a simple extension of the compact server for private LoRaWAN networks. It demonstrates how to build a LoRaWAN application implemented in Erlang.

Compared to the extenal applications (Backends) the internal applications have several benefits:

• Smaller infrastructure as there is only one server, which is easier to secure and maintain
• Ability to send downlinks in the RX1 window, which reduces the device power consumption
• Lower development effort as internal applications can reuse the internal web-server and database

To develop internal applications you have to Learn You Some Erlang first.

Build Instructions

Build the application by:

rebar3 release

The lorawan-server and its dependencies will be downloaded automatically. There is no need to do anything else.

Then start:

_build/default/rel/lorawan-server-demoapp/bin/lorawan-server-demoapp

And access the extended web-admin via http://localhost:8080/demo
