This section contains instructions for creating an Application.

Integrations allow you to process and act on data by triggering events.

Here you can find detailed guides for creating integrations with popular IoT platforms.

The Things Stack exposes an MQTT server to work with streaming events. This section explains how to connect an MQTT client and subscribe to uplinks or publish downlinks.

The Pub/Sub integration allows the Application Server to publish and subscribe to topics, using The Things Stack built-in MQTT client or NATS client.

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.

Node-RED is a free, JavaScript-based development tool for visual programming, developed to ease the process of wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services. The MQTT server that is exposed by The Things Stack can be connected to Node-RED.

IFTTT is a service that creates chains of conditional statements, called applets, that can be triggered by the events occurring within various web services. These applets connect multiple applications in order to run automated tasks.

This section contains guides for building divers applications using The Things Stack.

Payload formatters allow you to process data going to and from end devices. This is useful for converting binary payloads to human readable fields, or for doing any other kind of data conversion on uplinks and downlinks. This section explains how to set up payload formatters for a specific end device or an entire application.

The Storage Integration allows storing received upstream messages in a persistent database, and retrieving them at a later time.

The Webhooks feature allows The Things Stack to send application related messages to specific HTTP(S) endpoints.
