After registering your device on ChirpStack, you can test the uplink using the Maya app:

Steps:​

  1. Log in to your ChirpStack dashboard.
  2. Click on Applications and select your application.
  3. Click on the device you registered (MacSync).
  4. Navigate to the Live LoRaWAN Frames or Device Data tab to monitor uplinks.
  5. On your mobile device, open the Maya App.
  6. Connect to the MacSync device via Bluetooth (BLE).
  7. Navigate to the Ping / Send Uplink section.
  8. Tap the “Send Uplink” or Ping button.

Result:​

  • The device will immediately send a confirmed uplink to the server.
  • You should see the uplink appear in real-time on ChirpStack under Device Data or Live Frames.

Tip: The uplink also includes signal quality metrics such as RSSI, SNR, and Spreading Factor, which can help with diagnostics.

downlinks

Once your MacSync device is registered and active, you can send downlink commands using ChirpStack’s Queue interface.

  1. Log in to your ChirpStack dashboard.
  2. Click on Applications from the left sidebar.
  3. Select your specific application.
  4. Choose the registered device you want to send the command to.
  5. Navigate to the “Queue” tab.
  6. In the Queue section:
    • Enter the downlink payload (in hexadecimal).
    • Set the FPort (usually defined by your device's firmware).
    • Choose whether it is a confirmed or unconfirmed message.
  7. Click Enqueue to send the message.

Notes​

  • The downlink will be sent on the next uplink from the device (as per LoRaWAN Class A).
  • Ensure your MacSync device is configured to support the downlink functionality.

If using Class C, the downlink will be sent immediately since the receiver is always listening (for power-operated versions).
