Add LoRaWAN Devices Manually
Devices that have not been stored in the UAA tenant before cannot simply be provisioned. In this case, however, you can add them manually via the “Add”-Button under “Devices”. This method is useful for adding for example individual devices.
To add a new LoRaWAN device manually, the following three device keys must be filled in:
- DevEUI
- JoinEUI
- AppKey
This information can be taken from the sensor or the packaging or the received electronical delivery note.
The RX Delay is automatically set to 4.
The parser for the sensor can be assigned directly under optional details.
Important: If no parser or the wrong parser is selected, no measured values are displayed. This also applies if the sensor is working properly.
For UDC devices/meters, the correct parser is “ZENNERUSA”.
The custom details can be filled optionally.
Special of UDC devices: Initial Meter Read
There is a special feature for the UDC devices/meters: the Initial Meter Read (IMR). The UDC meters only receive pulses. The IMR must be observed in order to obtain the correct data. This means that the IMR must be entered in order to correctly record the pulses sent.
Field | Meaning |
DevEUI | The devEUI (Device Extended Unique Identifier) of the device |
Device Type | The device type → selected automatically and cannot be changed |
JoinEUI | The joinEUI of the device |
AppKey | The appKey (Application Key) of the device |
Rx Delay | RxDelay must be always 4 → can remain as in sample file |
Class C | True for class C devices, otherwise false |
Parser | The parser is selected here, for ZENNER & UDC Devices it must be ZENNERUSA |
Status | Installation Status of the device → Mounted or dismounted |
| Project ID (locationId) | Project ID of the existing project to which the device is to be assigned, if needed |
Street (street) | The current street of the device location |
House Number | House number of the device location |
ZIP Code | Postal / ZIP Code of the device location |
City | City of the device location |
| Latitude (latitude) | Latitude of the device location |
| Longitude (longitude) | Longitude of the device location |
| Alternative Address (alternative_address) | An alternative address can be entered here |
| Tenant (tenant) | The tenant in which the device is created |
| Country (country) | The country of the device location |
| Building Number (buildingNumber) | The building number of the device location |
| Unit (unit) | The unit number of the device location |
| Installation Date (installationDate) | Here you can select when the device was installed |
| Removal Date (removalDate) | Here you can select when the device was removed (if possible) |
| Installation Position (installationPosition) | Current installation Position of the device → e.g. room or floor |
| Medium (medium) | The medium captured by the device → water, electricity, gas |
Manufacturer | The manufacturer of the device |
| Meter Type (meterType) | The meter type of the device |
| Pulse Factor (pulseFactor) | Pulse Factor = quantity of a pulse (see technical documents for the respective meter/device) Only important for sensors that send their data with pulse output, like ZENNER UDC Devices → see also UDC Device/Pulse Counting Must be entered, otherwise the calculation of the actual readings (measured values) and consumption will be wrong |
| Meter Size (meterSize) | The size of the meter |
| Initial Meter Read (initialMeterRead) | Initial Meter Read (IMR) of the device → Must be entered, otherwise it will assume 0. If nothing is entered, the value may be incorrect |
| Tags (tags) | To which tags the devices should be assigned |
