Generic LoRa device (programmable)

Connect a LoRa device for which you currently do not have LoRa connectivity credentials (DevEUI, AppEUI, and AppKey). These credentials will be provided during registration of the device in KPN Things.

  • Supported network type(s): KPNLORA

  • Device Specification ID: own-lora

  • Device Specification UUID: 1e7f596c-6eb4-44d2-bec6-0d93181d4330

Example SenML

The resulting SenML completely depends on the ThingsML input and can produce almost any type of SenML output. The decoded ThingsML provided below is just an illustration of what is possible.
