After reading this article, you’ll be able to:
Start troubleshooting Browan sensor projects
Always learning from projects, this page addresses the most common issues encountered in Browan sensor projects.
Gateway connectivity
In most cases Hub connectivity issues are due to a wrong firewall configuration of the firewall: make sure to check

the List of IP addresses for outgoing traffic that is relevant for your gateway.
Make sure the gateway is configured as per the installation instructions.
See LoRa Gateways / Hubs installation guides
Sensor connectivity

All these cases were caused by installing the sensors before the hub.
...
the Workplace Platform, either the gateway is not working or the sensors were installed/activated before the gateway was confirmed working.
In the first case (gateway not working): make sure the gateway is connecting to the platform by following above troubleshooting instructions.
In the last case (sensors not connecting to the gateway): remove the battery, wait for the capacitors to be drained (several hours, preferably over night), and insert a fresh battery.
