How to connect RAKwireless to Cloud Studio IoT
RAKwireless makes the WisGate LoRaWAN gateways, the modular WisBlock nodes that you assemble from a core and sensor modules, and ready-made devices such as the RAK2270 Sticker Tracker. They reach Cloud Studio IoT through the LoRaWAN network server you already use: the network server receives each uplink and decodes it, and the platform stores the readings and turns them into dashboards, alarms and reports.
How to connect it
- 1
Register the sensors on your network server
Add each RAKwireless sensor to The Things Stack, LORIOT or ThingPark X with its DevEUI and keys. In The Things Stack, pick the model from the device repository and RAKwireless's official decoder is applied for you.
- 2
Connect the network server to the platform
Set up the Cloud Studio integration once per network server: a webhook in The Things Stack, an application output in LORIOT or the ThingPark X IoT Flow connection. It needs your instance name and an access token.
- 3
Create the devices in Cloud Studio IoT
Add each device with its address and model. A WisBlock node sends whatever its firmware sends, so create a device model whose script reads the fields the network server decoded, with payload.asParsedObject(), or the raw bytes if you did not set a decoder there, and assigns them to the device's endpoints.
- 4
Put the readings to work
Each reading becomes a device variable that you can show on dashboards, use in alarms by email or SMS and include in scheduled reports.
What you get
- RAKwireless nodes and trackers on the same dashboards as devices from any other brand
- Alarms by email, SMS, WhatsApp, voice call or push when a reading goes out of range
- White label and a tenant per client, if you install sensors for others
