Kio Proximity vs LoRACK! LoRaWAN Manager

The Kio Proximity app provides the capability to locate nearby Kontakt.io IoT devices within Bluetooth range of your real-time location. The app determines the proximity of a Kontakt.io device by its RSSI signal strength to your current real-time location, so the closer or farther you move from a device the app will let you know.

LoRACK! LoRaWAN Manager is a mobile operations kit for managing LoRaWAN networks powered by ChirpStack. Monitor devices, gateways, and applications from your phone — whether you're at your desk or in the field. DEVICE MANAGEMENT • View and manage all LoRaWAN devices with filtering, sorting, and map view • Scan QR codes on device packaging for instant lookup and onboarding • Add devices manually or from QR with pre-filled DevEUI and JoinEUI • Send downlink commands from a reusable command library • Compare health metrics across multiple devices side by side DEVICE HEALTH AND DIAGNOSTICS • Health scoring across four metrics: battery, connectivity, signal, and data quality • Interactive time-series charts with configurable date ranges • Trend tracking — see if devices are improving, stable, or declining • Battery chemistry detection with voltage curve analysis GATEWAY MONITORING • View gateway status, location, and last-seen timestamps • Edit gateway coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude) • Optional Helium Hotspot monitoring alongside ChirpStack gateways ALERTS AND MONITORING • Configurable alert rules with critical, warning, and info severity levels • Track alerts through active, acknowledged, and resolved states • Inline actions to acknowledge or resolve alerts directly from the list AI-POWERED TROUBLESHOOTING (optional) • Natural language chat interface for diagnosing device issues • Automatic detection of common problems: offline devices, poor signal, battery drain • Actionable recommendations with direct links to affected devices • Powered by MoD AI — requires separate MoD backend configuration CONTACTS AND PHOTOS • Attach contact information and photos to devices, gateways, and applications • Profile-wide address book for quick field identification • Import and export contacts with optional image inclusion FIELD OPERATIONS • Site visit workflows with per-device checklists and progress tracking • Field technician access with read-only profiles • Shareable visit reports • Works offline — data persists locally and syncs when connectivity returns MULTI-SERVER PROFILES • Connect to multiple ChirpStack servers and switch between them • Import and export profiles for team onboarding • Auto-discover tenants or configure manually • Secure API token storage SETTINGS AND CUSTOMIZATION • Light, Dark, and Night (red-shifted) themes with system-auto option • Configurable startup screen: Home, Devices, or QR Scanner • Command library for reusable downlink templates with import/export HOW IT WORKS LoRACK! connects directly to your ChirpStack v4 server using gRPC-Web. No proxy or middleware is required — ChirpStack serves gRPC-Web natively. All data stays between your device and your server. REQUIREMENTS • A ChirpStack v4 server accessible from your device • A ChirpStack API token with appropriate permissions • Optional: MoD AI backend for AI-powered diagnostics SUPPORT • Email: support@nightjarsolutions.io • Web: nightjarsolutions.io
