Adding a LoRa Device (LoRa Node)

Adding a LoRa Device (LoRa Node)

Adding a device for your LoRa node in the Zoho IoT application allows you to represent and manage it in the application.

There are two ways to add a LoRa device in Zoho IoT applications:

Add Using Product Gallery

In this approach we will add a LoRa Device using the device gallery.
  1. Access the End Application.



  2. Select Devices > Devices in the navigation pane.



  3. Click Add Device.



  4. Select Add Using Product Gallery and click Proceed.



  5. Click on the LoRa Device you want to add. Use the By Manufacture filter or search for the required device if required.



    Notes
    Note: If your LoRa Device is not available in the device gallery, use the Add By Defining Your Own Device Product approach.

  6. In the device product's information page, click Import and Proceed.



  7. Select an existing device model or create a new device model.



  8. Fill in the required details of your LoRa device.
  9. Provide the Device EUI of your LoRa Device. 
  10. For the Datastream field, you can select the Datastream integrated with the required LoRa Network Server (LNS) or leave the field empty and assign a Datastream later.



  11. Click Proceed. The device will now be added to the application.



  12. Click View Device.



  13. Select Got an IoT Device and click Continue. The onboarding assistant will guide you through onboarding your device and viewing incoming messages.

 

Add By Defining your Own Device Product

In this approach, you will first create a device product for your LoRa device, and then use it to add a device. Once the device product is created, it will appear in the Device Gallery, allowing you to reuse it to add additional devices as needed.
  1. Access the End Application.



  2. Select Devices > Devices in the navigation pane.



  3. Click Add Device.



  4. Select Add By Defining Your Device Product and click Proceed.



  5. Provide an Image and fill out the required details for your device product.
  6. Make sure to select Smart Sensor as the Device Type and LoRaWAN via LoRaWAN Datastream as the Compatible Device Connectivity.



  7. Click Add. The device product is now added.



  8. Add the datapoint definitions and the uplink message formatter for your device product, then click Proceed. You can also choose to add or edit these later.



  9. Now you can add a device based on the device product. Select an existing device model or create a new device model.



  10. Fill in the required details of your LoRa device.
  11. Provide the Device EUI of your LoRa Device.
  12. For the Datastream field, you can select the Datastream integrated with the required LoRa Network Server (LNS) or leave the field empty and assign a Datastream later.



  13. Click Add. The device will now be added to the application.



  14. Click Ok in the Device Registered Successfully popup.



  15. Select Got an IoT Device and click Continue. The onboarding assistant will guide you through onboarding your device and viewing incoming messages.
