Announcements
1

This is a test-release of LoRa App Server v3.1 which contains some new exciting features! I’m looking forward to feedback!

LoRa App Server v3.1.0-test.1

Features

Device variables and tags

Device variables and tags are user-defined key/value values that can be assigned to devices. Tags can be used to add additional meta-data to devices and variables can be used for configured integrations (e.g. ThingsBoard requires a per-device Access Token).

PostgreSQL integration

When configured in the lora-app-server.toml configuration file, this integration will write events into a PostgreSQL database. See the PostgreSQL Integration documentation for more information.

ThingsBoard integration

When configured as Application integration, this integration will write attributes and telemetry to the configured ThingsBoard instance. See the ThingsBoard Integration documentation for more information.

Improvements

  • Speedup login with default admin / admin credentials (for low CPU power devices). (#320)
  • Gateway ID, FPGA ID and AES-key widgets have been updated.

Bugfixes

  • Fix Gen Application Key is no longer a mandatory field. (#322)
  • Fix create organization user. (#323)

Upgrading

Before upgrading, you must enable the hstore extension for the LoRa App Server PostgreSQL database. Example commands assuming the database is named loraserver_as:

sudo -u postgres psql

Within the PostgreSQL prompt, enter the following queries:

-- change to loraserver_as database and enable extension
\c loraserver_as
create extension hstore;

-- exit the prompt
\q
