This article lists the requirements to connect a LoRaWAN device to the Wattsense Tower/Bridge.
List of LoRaWAN sensors compatible with the Wattsense Box
In order to connect your Lorawan device to our Tower/Bridge you'll need to have in mind these informations :
Wattsense works to provide you with the best database of decoded Lorawan equipment.
Based on our expertise in this field, by consulting our compatibility checker, you can easily find out if Wattsense is directly compatible with your lorawan sensor equipment.
Based on our expertise in this field, by consulting our compatibility checker, you can easily find out if Wattsense is directly compatible with your lorawan sensor equipment.
1. If your Lorawan device is not in our compatibility checker, it means we don't have the associated codec. You can still connect the sensor to our products but you won't have the decoded data.
- You will have access to the Raw payload of your device as well as the signal quality informations.
- Feel free to ask us to add the codec you need (the sooner the best)
2. In order to pair a Lorawan sensor with a wattsense Tower/Bridge you will need to make a JOIN.
Join procedure
--> A Join is a pairing process specific to the Lorawan network that requires the following steps.As with any pairing process you must fill in the required pairing information in both devices for the process to work.
The first step is to configure the Lorawan equipment in the Wattsense user console.
Here is the information you will need to set up your loRaWAN device in our Tower/Bridge :
- DevEUI / AppEUI / Application Key are the parameters given by your supplier.
- CodecID : It will be automatically filled by Wattsense according to the codec manufacturer. If the lorawan equipment is not known in the Wattsense database, the specific codec called "no codec" must be selected.
In the "Advanced tab" you will be able to configure the Class type of your device. Class A is set by default
Information about Device activation
Please note that there are two methods for device activation :
- Over-The-Air-Activation (OTAA)
- Activation By Personalization (ABP) - Not supported by Wattsense
| Wattsense supports only OTAA method. It is the most secure and recommended activation method for LoRaWAN sensors. Equipments perform a join procedure with the network, during which a dynamic device address is assigned and security keys are negotiated with the device. |
