Node Red node to decrypt MTDot Box survey and demo

[Nicolas Alberto]

Hi,
I am using the mLinux Gateway and TTN. I would like to decrypt the Lora Demo and survey messages from the MTDot box using node red. Could someone send me the export of the starter kit that comes with the AEP Gateway?

Or do you know where to find a node that would be able to decrypt the payload from the MTDot Box?

Thank you

Nicolas

Hello Nicolas

Here is a link to a Node-Red “flow” that will decrypt the “LoRa Demo” sensor
data from the MTDOT-BOX.
https://webfiles.multitech.com/mmm/LoRa_Demo_ParserFlow.txt

If the Conduit’s inherent “LoRa Network Server” is disabled, and the
device is configured as a simple packet forwarder to TTN, I don’t think
Node-Red will work, because all packets are simply forwarded to TNN.

Survey messages are stored on the MTDOT-BOX and can be extracted using a
Developer Board as described at the link below.

Configuration Mode

Use the command AT+GSDF to get the Survey Data from the MTDOT-BOX

Thank a lot
I have used some of the code provided and adapted it to make it work for the lora demo.

Here is the code to import into node red if someone else need this functionality
