Hi, how many slaves can be connected to one gateway?


RE: KinCony ALR ESP32-S3 LoRa SX1278 Gateway released - admin - 01-31-2025

if you can write your own arduino code , it's no limit. just according to your software code.

I would like to use it with home assistant and NOT have to develop any code. Would the Home Assistant be able to discover all the devices connected to it?

if you using our firmware, it's just a demo, only one "slave" board.


RE: KinCony ALR ESP32-S3 LoRa SX1278 Gateway released - markbrewer - 02-05-2025

Will you be modifying your firmware to cater for multiple slave boards in the future?


RE: KinCony ALR ESP32-S3 LoRa SX1278 Gateway released - admin - 02-05-2025

you can modify arduino source code by yourself? if OK, we send code to you.
