Every LoRaWAN end device has a LoRaWAN tab on its device page. It shows who the device is on the network, how it was last heard, and its recent frames, and it holds the LoRaWAN actions. The same tab on a gateway shows the gateway instead; see Gateway status, health and the map.
Open Devices, open the device and select LoRaWAN. Viewing needs the permission to view LoRaWAN devices; every change needs the permission to add, edit and delete LoRaWAN devices. Without it, the fields are read-only and the buttons are hidden.
A device without a LoRaWAN record shows This device has no LoRaWAN record. Add LoRaWAN devices and gateways with New device on the Devices page.
Actions at the top
| Button | Shown for | Does |
|---|---|---|
| Approve | A device pairing mode added that waits for approval | Lets it join. See Approving devices added by pairing. |
| Reset session | OTAA devices | Ends the session; the device must join again. |
| Reset counters | ABP devices | Clears the frame counters after the device restarted them. See Add an ABP device. |
| Remove | Every device | Removes the device, its keys and its session and releases its DevEUI. Its readings stay. |
Each action asks you to confirm first and is audited.
Note
A LoRaWAN device cannot be deleted with the generic device delete. Use Remove here, which removes the LoRaWAN record first.
Identity
The heading LoRaWAN carries the join badge (see How a device joins).
| Field | Shows |
|---|---|
| DevEUI | The device EUI, with a copy button |
| JoinEUI | The JoinEUI |
| Activation | OTAA or ABP |
| DevAddr | The device’s current network address |
| LoRaWAN version, class | For example 1.0.3 · A |
| Frame counters up / down | The last uplink counter and the next downlink counter |
| Last uplink | When the last uplink was accepted, or Never |
| AppKey (OTAA) | Stored encrypted, never shown, or The profile’s shared key for devices added by pairing |
| Session keys (ABP) | Stored encrypted, never shown |
| Counters last reset (ABP) | When the counters were last reset, or Never |
Codec
Choose the device’s Codec and select Save:
- Automatic (by maker and port): the profile’s codec, or, if the profile is also automatic, the codec that claims the device’s maker and FPort. Your own codecs are preferred over the library’s.
- None (raw payload to the flows): no decoding; the payload arrives as hex under
raw. - A library codec or one of yours (Yours).
See Codecs: turning bytes into values.
Class
Choose A (battery, answers after each uplink) or C (mains powered, always listening) and select Save class. See Device classes A and C.
Keys
Type new keys into the write-only fields and select Replace keys:
| Activation | Fields | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| OTAA | New AppKey | Applies from the device’s next join. The DevNonce history starts over. |
| ABP | DevAddr, New NwkSKey, New AppSKey | Starts a new session with counters at 0. |
Hermetry asks first: set the same values in the device, or it stops being heard. If you cancel, the tab says Nothing was changed. Stored keys are never shown.
Latest reception
One row per gateway that heard the device’s last uplink, best SNR first:
| Column | Shows |
|---|---|
| Gateway | The gateway’s name (or EUI) |
| RSSI (dBm) | Received signal strength. Closer to 0 is stronger. |
| SNR (dB) | Signal-to-noise ratio. Higher is better; LoRa still decodes below 0. |
| Chosen for the downlink | ✓ on the gateway that answered this uplink |
Only the last uplink is shown. Reception history is kept only if one of your flows saves the lora.* keys; with Add the radio values on in the profile and the default root flow, it is.
Recent frames
The device’s frames from the last day, newest first, read again every 10 seconds while the tab is open and the page is visible (up to 50). Columns, types and results are the same as in the frames log.
