Dandelion IoT Probe

[finlay]

Some of our schools have recently been presented with kit as part of the Dandelion project https://dandelion.sruc.ac.uk/reference and not having much luck in setting up the nodes. Has anyone else in here had any experience with this stuff?

It's unlikely to work with a proxy. How far have you got? Did it connect to wifi? Get an IP address?

I set up an IP with direct access via our firewall, so no need for proxy. After much faffing about with in the inbuilt config web based portal, which kept crashing out regardless of browser used, I did manage to join it to our managed network, receive IP reservation and register the node via the app. I did however note some concerns with the way that the network details were stored on the device so set up a dedicated SSID, but cannot for the life of me get the device to connect with these new settings. I have fed this back to the technical contact for the project and hope to have a response soon.
