Web Power management of a LoRaWAN Gateway and auxiliary devices
Using the MFTurbo's online API and UI web management portal allows users set and change a remote LoRaWAN Gateway's sleep cycles and the power management of two auxiliary devices. The MFTurbo-Energy ensures whichever profile is set, no important sensor updates are missed and all sensors continue to operate.
