I've been setting up some IOT gear with multiple provider and devices. I was able to connect a sim800L to another provider (using a pico) using their APN and some AT commands ( connected w/2G in NYC).
Is it possible for a pico or "vanilla" esp32 connected to a modem like I did to issue AT commands and connect to particle? Or is it forbidden?
I've tried w/the classic 'broadband', 'internet' and other APNs found here and in the forum:
Am I way off base thinking I could do this with particle?
It is not possible to connect a non-Particle device to the Particle cloud. There are encryption keys that prevent that from working.
Though it doesn't solve your current problem, tune in next Tuesday for an announcement of something that might be helpful for a tangentially related use-case.
