2. Bridge LoRaWAN network to BACnet network

By following the steps below in the configuration example, Users can convert the uplink data of the lorawan sensor to BACnet data

LPS8v2 includes a local ChirpStack Server. This example shows how to configure LHT65N to use with BACnet. This example assumes users already have:

  • LHT65N register on LPS8v2 Built-In ChirpStack server already
  • The user is able to see the data on the built-in ChirpStack server device page.

Below are the steps to configure lps8v2 BACnet.
