The RAKwireless RAK2560 WisNode Sensor Hub is a modular sensor ecosystem consisting of the Sensor Hub Smart Datalogger and multiple pre-configured sensor probes. With pluggable, interchangeable probes, and the option to add third-party sensors to the mixture, the Sensor Hub is a suitable and versatile solution platform for various IoT applications where environmental monitoring is needed.
Sensor Setup
To acquire the provisioning information and properly setup the sensor, you must download the WisToolBox App from the Play Store or the App Store on your phone.
After opening the app it will ask you to log in/create an account, but you can click on Skip in the top right if you don’t wish to sign up.
Then press Start, select NFC Activation and follow the instructions for connecting to the device.
Once you reach the device menu, select the LORA & LORAWAN PARAMETERS tab. Open the Global Settings dropdown and make sure the Join mode and Region are set correctly.
Then open the LoRaWAN keys, ID, EUI dropdown and copy the Device EUI, AppEUI and AppKey and save them somewhere as they will be needed later for onboarding.
Finally, select the Sensor Probe tab up top and open the dropdowns for the sensors that are used. Here you can set the intervals or thresholds for transmitting data.
Make sure you enable the Send uplink toggle depending on which method you use.
Onboarding to The Things Stack
The device can be onboarded using the Device Repository or manually.
Note:
The RAK2560 does not support onboarding with a QR code.The LoRaWAN® Device repository comprises over 800 end-device profiles, including the RAK2560, which enables quick and easy registration with The Things Stack.
In the End device type section, under Input method, select either the Select the end device in the LoRaWAN Device Repository or Enter end device specifics manually option.
