ThingsBoard Integrated(via TTS)

ThingsBoard is an open-source IoT platform that enables rapid development, management, and scaling of IoT projects. Our goal is to provide the out-of-the-box IoT cloud or on-premises solution that will enable server-side infrastructure for your IoT applications.

The content of this chapter will guide users how to connect the SenseCAP T1000 Tracker to ThingsBoard through TTN.

Get Started

Before starting the setup, please check Connect SenseCAP T1000 to TTS to connect your SenseCAP T1000 Tracker to TTS first.

Configura the ThingsBoard

To get started, create an account with ThingsBoard.

Create Converter

First, we need to create an Uplink Data Converter which will be used for receiving messages from the TTS.

Navigate to Data converters, click Create new converter.

Name the converter, enable Debug mode, copy the following code and click Add.

var data = decodeToJson(payload);
var deviceName = data.end_device_ids.device_id;
var deviceType = data.end_device_ids.application_ids.application_id;

var telemetry = {};

var messages = data.uplink_message.decoded_payload.messages[0];
for (var i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) {
    var measurement = messages[i];
    
    var type = measurement.type.toLowerCase();
    var typeKey = '';
    for (var j = 0; j < type.length; j++) {
        if (type[j] === ' ') {
            typeKey += '_';
        } else {
            typeKey += type[j];
        }
    }

    telemetry[typeKey] = measurement.measurementValue;
}

var result = {
    deviceName: deviceName,
    deviceType: deviceType,
    telemetry: telemetry
};

function decodeToString(payload) {
    return String.fromCharCode.apply(String, payload);
}

function decodeToJson(payload) {
    var str = decodeToString(payload);
    var data = JSON.parse(str);
    return data;
}

return result;
