Very good post Jan.

Downlink from AWS IoT MQTT works too. I published a topic to the MQTT service:

The info arrived at TTN:

The TTN output formatter translates this to a LoRaWan payload of one byte: 01.

When my Arduino MKR WAN 1310 ran its next upload, it got the downlink message:

and the LED switched on:

How the downlink link works:

Initial state - my Arduino was not active

on AWS, I posted a topic on the MQTT service to turn the Thing's LED on.
2 minutes later, I switched on the Arduino. It joined TTN
the first activity of the Arduino sketch does, after joining, is uplinking its LED status.
Immediately after that, it receives the downlink command to turn the LED on (the AWS message).
See image below for the detail of that.
After the LED was switched on on the Arduino, the sketch noticed the state change and uplinked the new status.

Saturday morning well spent: I enabled integration of my TTN with AWS IoT:

I'll now try and integrate payload with their MQTT service... (edit: not needed, it automatically posts on AWS IoT MQTT)

Do they see my activity?

My own personal heatmap bubble:

The blue circle is my gateway. The red one is the LoRaWan activity of the Thing.
