LoRa Cloud

LoRa Cloud™ platform offers value-added APIs that enable simple solutions for common tasks related to LoRaWAN® networks and LoRa-based devices. The Things Stack supports integrations with LoRa Cloud Modem Services and LoRa Cloud Geolocation Services.

The LoRa Edge™ LR1110 solution was used for writing this guide.

This device is running the LoRa Basics Modem-E Firmware and the LoRa Basics Modem-E Demo Application, which provide the device with enough capabilities to perform operations that are of interest in this guide, like WiFi and GNSS assisted scanning. To install the aforementioned firmware and the demo application, follow this guide.

The device is claimed using the LoRa Cloud Device Join Service. That operation is out of the scope of this guide and The Things Stack documentation in general, but you can find the detailed documentation on how to claim your device at Semtech’s Learning Center site.

In this guide, we assume you already added the device in The Things Stack Console. Please keep in mind that in case of using the LoRa Cloud Device Join Service for claiming, you have to tick the External Join Server box when adding the device in The Things Stack Console, as described here.

Keep reading the subtopics in the left menu to learn how to integrate and make use of LoRa Cloud features.

LoRa Cloud Setup

Before connecting your device to The Things Stack you need to set up the LoRa Cloud portal by creating an API token. LoRa Cloud Portal Setup On the LoRa Cloud portal, navigate to Modem & Geolocation Services. Choose Manage tokens on the left hand menu. Click the Create new token button. Give the name to your token and tick the boxes next to permissions you wish to allow for it. Click the Create new token button to finish. A user can decide to restrict some permissions. On the image below, all permissions are allowed for the sake of simplicity of this guide.
