Connect LoRA devices to thingworx

[Ankit_P]

We want to manage several LoRA devices on Thingworx. There are gateways that read data from these devices. The goal is to manage these devices on thingworx and routing messages to their destination. We want to create thing entities for these devices and read data into its properties. How can we provision these sensors on thingworx ? Is there any tutorial that show how to connect these sensors to thingworx ?

Hi @VladimirN,

Is there any tutorial or guide available to show how the connection is done using REST API or TWX SDK or MQTT ?

@VladimirRosu Please take a look.

Hi @Ankit_P.

From a quick review, it appears you'll need the LoRaWan gateway layer, but you should check with the vendor of your device for setting this up.  Once you have that in place, you should be able to interact with the gateway from ThingWorx or one of our edge products.

We have no tutorials specific to LoRa devices.  

Regards.
