Loriot is a provider of LoRaWAN network Server and Application Server Software. This tutorial highlights how you can use Loriot as your LoRaWAN Service Provider on AllThingsTalk Maker.
Create an account on Loriot.io
Go to the Loriot.io and register for an account.
Add a LoRa gateway to Loriot.io
Loriot does not deploy their own network of gateways, so depending your location, you might need to install a LoRa gateway to be able for your device to communicate.
If you already have coverage on your location, you can ommit this step.
Add gateway
In the left menu, select Gateways
Select add your gateway
Follow the instructions in the Loriot.io website
Configure the Application Output in your Loriot account
The payload(message) generated by your LoRa device needs to be forwarded to the AllThingsTalk Maker application. This is done by configuring the application output and Target URL.
Log in on Loriot.io
In the left menu, select Applications
Select SampleApp
Under Controls select Data output > Edit output
Change the data output to AllThingsTalk
Confirm change
Create a LoRa device
Now it’s time to create your LoRa device. Loriot allows you to generate new devices and provides you with a Device EUI, Devaddr, NwkSKey and AppSKey.
Under a SampleApp
Select Devices in the left menu
Select Generate new device on the left pane
