ttnlogger

About

TTN data logger made with FiPy, MQTT, InfluxDB, MongoDB and Grafana.

TTN (The Things Network) is building a global open LoRaWAN™ network.

Synopsis

The ttnlogger program can be invoked in two ways. Either it obtains the TTN credentials as well as InfluxDB database and measurement as four command-line options or it obtains the parameters from respective environment variables.

With the -s option the InfluxDB agent database as well as the measurement are being derived from the TTN dev_id while -d and -m are being ignored. In case of using it within the Hiveeyes.org environment please follow this scheme for the dev_id:

hiveeyes-USER-LOCATION-NAMEOFHIVE

and replace upper case strings with your individual lower case namings without additional dashes)

The -n option disables saving geolocations of receiving gateways into the database.

Command line arguments
