Connecting to Helium

Helium console is a management platform in the Helium network for registering, configuring, and routing data from LoRaWAN devices, enabling rapid IoT deployment. This section will teach you how to quickly integrate your device into Helium.

Device Configuration​

Before connecting to Helium, you need to configure the basic parameters of your device on SenseCraft APP, check Get Started for more details.

  • Set the platform to Helium, and then copy the Device EUI/App EUI/App Key.

Helium Console Configuration​

note

The Helium console is no longer open for new accounts. The description for how to connect a T2000 to the Helium Console remains here for users that already have an account. For new users, please refer to the ChirpStack LNS steps below or determine the necessary steps for your particular LNS based on the two existing examples here.

Step 1: Add New Device​

Log into your Helium console, then go to Devices section and click on Add device button.

pir

Fill the required fields such as the device name, the LoRaWAN credentials, etc.
Then click the Save Device button.

pir

Step 2: Create the Decoder Function​

The next step is to setup the function that will decode the raw bytes into a human readable form.
Head to Function tab on the panel at the left side. Then click the Add New Function button and give it a name:

pir

Copy the following code to fill in the CUSTOM SCRIPT and then save the changes.

Step 3: Check the Data​

When the device tries to connect to the network, the green breathing light will flash. If the device joins the network successfully, the green light will flash 5 times quickly.

Then you can check the data on the Helium console.

ChirpStack LNS​

For new users, to receive the data from a device on the Helium network it must be associated with an LNS (LoraWAN Network Server), typically use one of the public LNSs, many of which use ChirpStack, but it's also possible to connect one's own LNS to Helium.

For those familiar with the general process the TL;DR; is:

  • create an device profile with the appropriate region and the codec (see source below)
  • create device with devEUI, appKey, and a app_eui variable with the AppEUI, all three values coming from the SenseCraft App

Step 1: Add Device Profile​

The first step is to add a device profile for the T2000 Tracker to your ChirpStack LNS. This tells the LNS how to decode the packets it receives from a T2000 as well as a number of other settings.

In the ChirpStack dashboard select the Device Profiles and click Add device profile.

On the general tab, enter a device profile name you will recognize and select the appropriate region parameters.

note

LoRaWAN MAC version: 1.0.4

The expected uplink interval can be set too, the main thing it controls is when the LNS user interface shows the device as active vs. inactive. It has no effect on the delivery of packets through the LNS.

Click Submit, then you can see Device profile created.

Step 2: Add Application and Your Device​

The next step is to create an application and add actual devices to it.

Go to the Applications section and add a new application.

Then add a device to the application and enter the devEUI as captured in the SenseCraft App earlier.

On the variables tab add a variable called app_eui with the AppEUI from the SenseCraft app as value:

Hitting submit will bring up a page asking for the AppKey, again as captured earlier using the SenseCraft app.

Step 3: View the Device Connection​

On the LoRaWAN frames tab you will see a spinner and then packets show up as they are received/sent.

When you see JoinAccept and JoinRequest, it indicates that the T2000 has successfully joined the network.

Once the join process has been performed the T1000 sends data. The LNS responds back with some information about the network frequencies and such, but subsequent to that there should only be uplinks with data.

On the Events page, you can view the decoded data from the device.
