 Starting with the devices in the LoRaWAN platform, we will use an [[http://support.sodaq.com/sodaq-one/autonomо/|Autonomo]] board with a LoRaBee Microchip RN2483 module. According to [[http://shop.sodaq.com]], Autonomo is a matchbox-sized powerhouse which uses the new Atmel Cortex M0+ 32bit micro controller. One advantage of such device is that it can be powered by a smartphone-sized solar panel. Starting with the devices in the LoRaWAN platform, we will use an [[http://support.sodaq.com/sodaq-one/autonomо/|Autonomo]] board with a LoRaBee Microchip RN2483 module.

 Devices in the LoRaWAN platform can also be implemented on Arduino boards with Dragino shields. The combined module as well as the basic configuration steps are presented in [[simple_lora_prototype|Simple Prototype of LoRa Communications]]. Similarly to the Autonomo device, you can download the following sketch {{ :test-loraserver-comb-loraserver-dragino.zip |}} and modify it according to your preferences.

 You can also find another example of sketch to download: {{ :test-loraserver-moisture-on-move.ino.zip |}}. Here the message sending is not periodic but related to an event. For example, an infrared sensor detects a movement and triggers a signal for the device to send a LoRaWAN message. Note also that the join method used in this second sketch is Activation by Personalisation (ABP): the device address, the network session key, and the application session key are directly configured on the device. You can also find another example of sketch to download: {{ :test-loraserver-moisture-on-move.ino.zip |}}.

 mqtt-spy is an open source utility intended to help you with monitoring activity on MQTT topics. It has been designed to deal with high volumes of messages, as well as occasional publications. mqtt-spy is a JavaFX application, so it should work on any operating system with an appropriate version of Java 8 installed. A very useful tutorial is available on [[https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt-spy/wiki]]. mqtt-spy is an open source utility intended to help you with monitoring activity on MQTT topics.

 You can use mqtt-spy to debug the messages received from the LoRaWAN devices. For this, you should download the software tool from [[https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt-spy/wiki]]. After starting the application, configure a new connection to the MQTT broker by simply adding the IP address of the broker in the ''Server URI'' field. Now you can subscribe to any MQTT topic. If you want to receive all messages arriving at the backend, you can use the generic topic ''#''. You can also limit to the topic including the messages of any specific device: ''application/APPLICATION_ID/node/DEVICE_EUI/rx'' You can use mqtt-spy to debug the messages received from the LoRaWAN devices.
