LoRa® on-premise - at Home and in the Office documentation
Setting up your devices on ChirpStack
Adding The Devices
Note
Each device in the network server represents a real-world end device that will connect and communicate over the LoRaWAN® network.
Next you will add the devices, one for each application. There are three devices to add:
-
Browan door and window sensor. You will add this to the Door/Window Sensor Application
-
Browan PIR motion sensor. You will add this to the Motion Sensor Application
-
Browan temperature and humidity sensor. You will add this to the Temperature Humidity Application
Before you can add these devices, you’ll need to get the device keys from the vendor.
Locate Device EUI and Key
You need to locate two pieces of information per device before you can add it to the network server:
-
The Device EUI (DevEUI)
-
The Device’s Network Key (NwkKey)
Note
The Browan devices implement LoRaWAN 1.1, but are backwards compatible with 1.0.3. The device profile has been set to 1.0.2 to maximize support for these devices. For this reason, you will need to use the Network Key instead of the Application Key. For any other typical 1.0.x device, you would use the actual Application Key (AppKey) instead of the Network Key. In case you are not sure when adding your own devices in the future, use the Application Key first and if you get an error when joining, use the Network Key.
Typically the device vendor will email you these keys after your purchase confirmation.
For example, if you purchased your devices from CalChip Connect, you will receive a Claim Key with the devices. Find the Device EUI and Network Key by entering the Claim Key into this online form.
