Setting up a LoRaWAN gateway for our hobby farm to check the water levels and turn pumps on and off.
Firstly I set up one of these, the cheapest I could find with the newer SX1302 chipset.
Worked fine with the devices, and the things network, but I could not get it to talk ot the MQQT server in Home Assistant.
Then 2nd try was one of these, RAK7268V2
It played more nicely with Home Assistant.
Setting up

- I just selected Australia AU915 and left all the other settings to the default.
- I plugged it in and it starts noting end devices even before I even told it about them:
