I was wondering (and I can vaguely remember that I read that somewhere, but I can’t find the place anymore where) there are any restrictions on OTAA on TTN concerning channels and DR (BW + SF) and used gateways.
Is that true and does anyone knows where I can’t find those?
A new installed Node doesn’t get detected (activated), this in contrast to my previous 3 nodes that connect flawlessly. Before contacting the supplier I wanted some technical details about OTAA TTN in combination with my RAK831 gateway.
Yes correct, because I read somewhere that there are restrictions to OTAA on TTN. Something like, only SF12 on that channel, etc…
Is that true or should all (868Mhz) nodes can connect with TTN over a RAK831 RPi3 gateway (868Mhz)?

yes … but only if you can set the keys in the node yourself and they are not preprogrammed by some manufacturer and can not be changed without the manufacturers help
If you have a problem with connecting a specific device name that device here and tell what you’ve allready tried.
That I can’t verify. It’s an off the shelf product, even IP68 so there’s nothing I can do. Just received the node (water meter) and 3 activation keys for OTAA. Because the water meter is IP68 and there is no possibility to configuration (not even one button) I can’t do anything but to contact the supplier.
On the other hand, with the advice from BoRRoz, it’s not possible to do OTAA on TNN when the device is pre-programmed with the 3 activation keys.
That one needs to be changeable for use with TTN as TTN does not allow setting it to anything but their generated value in the web console. However looking at the code of ttnctl (the command line tool) it looks like that would allow you to specify the app-eui when creating a new application.
OK, that’s a start to the solution of my problem
But why can I change the AppEUI then when I create a new application? or even add multiple? when ‘TTN does not allow setting it to anything but their generated value in the web console’
