Step 3: Try the Starter Kit for LoRaWAN®

LoRaWAN® is a complex topic with many technical components and considerations. The easiest way to get started and to understand the essentials of LoRaWAN is to see it in action.

The Starter Kit for LoRaWAN contains

  1. The Things Indoor Gateway Pro: A state-of-the-art fully cloud-managed 8 channel LoRaWAN gateway. It support true Zero-Touch Provisioning(ZTP) and is fully remotely managed via The Things Stack. In addition, it also has three options to connect to The Things Stack; Ethernet, WiFi and a built-in SIM card.
  2. mClimate Multipurpose Button: A versatile LoRaWAN end device designed for a variety of applications. Supporting three click types (single, double, and triple), it enables users to trigger pre-set actions. The Multipurpose Button is equipped with a temperature sensor and has ultra-low power consumption.

This guide will walk you through the complete journey from unboxing to data visualization. You’ll learn how to activate both devices using simple QR code scanning, establish secure LoRaWAN communication, and explore different options for collecting and visualizing your sensor data. Whether you’re new to LoRaWAN or an experienced developer, this starter kit eliminates the complexity typically associated with setting up IoT networks, allowing you to focus on building your application rather than wrestling with infrastructure.

Step 3: Remotely control the end device behavior

LoRaWAN® is a full-duplex protocol, which means that we can both receive data from and send data to the end device. So far, we’ve only worked with uplink data from the end device. In this guide, let’s look at interacting with the end device using downlinks.
