Add support for gateways

Open kschiffer opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Summary

The device repository should also allow sourcing gateway information.

Why do we need this?

To expand use cases of the DR to gateways. E.g. simplifying the gateway onboarding in the TTS Console: https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/lorawan-stack/issues/3947

What is already there? What do you see now?

Support for end devices and a lot of already sourced data.

What is missing? What do you want to see?

Support for gateways to allow sourcing such data as well.

How do you propose to implement this?

Complementary to how end devices are implemented.

Can you do this yourself and submit a Pull Request?

This is one for @johanstokking

Yes, we have quite some things to do in our other components to consume that, but this will be done.

No updates yet; we start with the new end device onboarding flow in The Things Stack and after that we'll work on the gateway onboarding flow which may come with gateway definitions in here.

As for your product; where would it be listed?

If you have documentation available to configure the gateway for The Things Stack, you can contribute to the documentation that is shown here: https://www.thethingsindustries.com/docs/gateways/. See the Edit on GitHub link in the footer to start contributing.
