How to add a new LoRaWAN end device in Node-RED in Home Assistant

Here is the flow of data:

  1. End Device (dragino temp sensor)
  2. RAK LoRaWAN gateway
  3. RAK MQTT packet forwarder
  4. HA MQTT broker
  5. Node-RED MQTT topic listener
  6. Nore-RED fPort filter
  7. Node-RED function to decode payload
  8. Node-RED sensor entity
  9. HA dashboard

All these elements need to be installed into Home Assistant.

The RAK gateway forwards nicely to Home Assistant. It’s a WISgate RAK7268V2

I started with a Milesight gateway and could not get it to forward vie MQTT to Home Assistant.
