Import End Devices in The Things Stack

To import your devices, you need an application in The Things Stack. This can be done by following instructions for Creating an Application.

To import devices, use the devices.json file you created in the previous step.

Console
CLI

Import devices via the Console New in 3.9.3

{#import-devices-via-the-console}

Open the application you created and click the button Import end devices

Select The Things Stack JSON as the Format and upload the devices.json file.

Wait for the end devices to be successfully imported. In case any device fails, you will see a relevant error message in the console.

If the import was successful, your devices are added to the list of end devices in your application.

Import devices via the CLI

You need the latest version of ttn-lw-cli, the CLI for The Things Stack.

Learn how to install the CLI

To import the devices.json file, run the following command in ttn-lw-cli.
