Is BEEP using TTN V3 already? They might not have migrated from V2 yet. You probably need to ask them.
Hi
I am actually see device update data every minute,which I setup interval on BEEP app.
and from BEEP app show Loraconnected., it look PCB is communicate with TTN V3.
Not sure where is missing
and when I try to backward to TTN v2, there are some information I need to configure on PCB, but not there are some item missing in BEEP app, such Device ID.
therefore I assume it is under TTN v3.

Hello,
Thks again for your answers. I have been reading here and there, thinking on my projetc etc…
I am not decided yet, I guess I need to think further.
The learning of the system interests me a lot but I am still unsure of my ability to do it.
Thks to you, I discovered Cayenne portal as well MQTT, maybe it can help to achieve more easily what I need.
I will keep you posted, especially if I activate a new gateway 
Which is not available in the v3 integrations and there is no visibility on when or if it will be - and the v2 console won’t be operational by the end of this year.
Thks for the warning descartes!!
I have the same problem / request and want to buy or build any cat trakker that is small, the trackers available are too big for small cat. I received an email in this forum with an offer to sign up to prepay the development for a cat tracker ; but the sender never replied to my email.
I can build simple electronics or develop professional software, here it is mainly open flat land with some houses here and there, we got a 10 meter tall building to install gateways/antennas.
For a cat owner it is not funny if the pet disappears for hours, it is nerve wrecking.
I am willing to cooperate on any project to build one. Just write me an email
Try this:
Excelent ! , I will ask them for more info, need a really small battery and probably custom made enclosure.
The antenna might be an issue with size , so will ask too about options. For the cats roaming around I guess the range is not a problem, perhaps 100 - 300 meters around the house.
This shop has many other interesting gadgets for other projects.
Thank you very much indeed
Hello MKlein,
Your project looks interesting!!
For the range, I would go for a couple of kilometres…
Indeed, the cats are covering long distances when they explore around the house…
Maybe you could take advantage of the necklace to extend the antenna…
Hi Everyone,
I am back on the TTN forum.
I have made no progress on my project, as I have been busy with other stuff.
I have abandoned the tags idea for the cat of for the keys… (Apple’s Airtags are here now…).
But I still have my gate issue. I need to monitor the status (open or closed).
I have explored Zigbee & EnOcean solutions, as I have both Zigbee & EnOcean UBS keys on my Jeedom box.
The issue is that door sensors are usually in-door use only. The only one external door sensor I have (EnOcean) does not work on iron gates (it kills the magnet signal).
So the only solution left I think is the Lora sensor, at least for the range.
I still need to validate if the iron of the gate will not cause the same issue as for the EnOcean sensors.
I envisage to buy a Mikrotik gateway, which seems to be compatible with TTN.
I need to identify the right door sensor. I have identified this one from Dragino https://www.dragino.com/downloads/downloads/LoRa_End_Node/LDS03A/LDS03A_LoRaWAN_Door_Sensor_UserManual_v1.0.pdf
Has anyone some experience with door sensors in external use?

You need a proximity switch.
Hi Peter,
Any model to recommend? I did not came accross such thing in my Lora sensor exploration…
Either a Reed switch or magnetic switch, I have used the Milesight 300-MCU (hope I recall the model correctly), 3 of them and all 3 worked seamlessly.
Same magnetic switch they use for windows in household alarm systems
Ok, thks!
I looked a bit for shopping the product, difficult to find it available…
Just get a stronger magnet, and especially put some care into installing it so that the magnet and the sensor are close together when the gate is closed.
Thks for the tip csloraxbox!!
I will try.
Look at the magnetic switches they use for garage doors, the magnet is a bit bigger and the cables are a bit more protected, to withstand cars driving over them.

Hi guys,
Have you some merchant websites to advise to buy the Lora equipment?
I am located in Europe and so far, I have not seen many option for consumers…
I am targeting a Milesight MCU300 or the Dragino LDS03A or the Netvox R718F.
Thks
