Understanding Datastreams
A datastream in Zoho IoT is used to integrate third-party device/data management systems with a Zoho IoT application. Currently, Zoho IoT supports LoRaWAN-based datastream integrations.
LoRa WAN Datastream
LoRa datastreams are used to integrate LoRa Network servers (LNS) to the application.
For example, in a smart parking system, each LoRa device are managed by the LoRa Network Server(LNS) and the device transmits data about parking space occupancy to it. The received message is listed in the Zoho IoT application based on the DevEUI of the device registered and is then processed. Once the data is fetched, it can be decoded using a message formatter and processed further.
Message formatting of datastreams (Decoder)
Zoho IoT decoding options by incorporating a built-in formatter within the datastream, allowing users to either decode LNS messages directly within the Zoho IoT application or pre-decoded at the LNS level.
When the raw messages are already decided at the LNS level, the message received by the Zoho IoT application will create an objects for the LNS decoded data.
LoRa Network Server (LNS) support
LoRa Datastream is currently supported for the following LNS:
