LoRa Device Tutorial

When setting up a LoRa client device, you need to do five main steps:

1. Create a description for the device in OpenChirp (described in Device Tutorial)
2. Setup the firmware on the specific device and get the LoRa DevID (specific to device, see below)
3. Add the LoraWAN service in OpenChirp and input the DevID
4. Add a decoder service (Byte Translator or Easybits)
5. Add a TimeSeries datastore service

Here are some common devices that work with OpenChirp:

• PyCom LoPy
• LoRaBUG
• MultiTech Mdot

This page should describe how to add a LoRa device to the OpenChirp network. This should probably also link to Easybits.

We probably want to do two modes:

• Devices with Templates
• Completely Custom
