Once you are logged in the IOT Platform Web App, the first steps are to activate a Communication Channel, in order to receive data (payloads) from your devices.
The activation procedure depends on the chosen communication channel (LORAWAN, M2M, SIGFOX, NB-IOT, Web Service, MQTT…). This activation is done in:
Account Manager > Settings
In the Settings module, go to Device Communication Channels an choose the right option:
More info: Settings Module.
Once your device sends data, it will automatically be created on the IOT Platform. Go to
Devices Manager > Devices
You should see your device. If you don't see it, check your device or the communication settings in Settings Module
At this stage, device payloads are not decoded.
There are 2 options:
1. Either your device is known by the IOT Software Platform.
2. Your device type is not known.
In the Device Module, edit the Device, click on the device Type and choose the right decoder in the list. Then press save.
Decoding will occur from the next received payload.
You must then create a decoder. Go to
Devices Manager > Custom Decoders
More info: Custom Decoders
Once the decoder is finalized, go back to the Device Module, select our device, edit it, click on the device Type and choose your new type. Press save.
Decoding will occur from the next payload.
You can view the decoded payloads in the Device Module.
You may now start building a Dashboard and create a Rule for Alerting.
