Connect to TTN
Overview
LoRaWAN is a low-power, wide-area networking protocol built on top of the LoRa technique. It wirelessly connects devices to the internet and manages communication between end-node devices and network gateways.
Followed the Get Started for Lora, we configured Wio-SX1262 with XIAO ESP32S3 as one channel hub lora gateway.
This wiki page explains how set up LoraWAN based on Wio-SX1262 with XIAO ESP32S3 kit as single channel gateway exchange data with TTN. And also connect the Sensecap S210x lora sensor node to Wio-SX1262 with XIAO ESP32S3 kit and transmit the sensor data to TTN(The Things Network).
Add LoRaWAN Gateway
Click and create a new account of TTN: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/.
If you have an account can visit https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/ directly.
Log in, then register a gateway.

Configure LoRa Sensor via Sensecraft APP
We are going to add a sensecap sensor node to TTN.
Step 1. Download and Open the Sensecraft App.
Step 2. Press the sensor button and hold for 3 seconds, the LED will flash at 1s frequency.
Step 3. Please click “Scan” to add new device and start scanning the QR code on device.
Step 4. Click the "Advanced Configuration" and select the platform of "The Things Network"
Step 5. Select the Frequenct Plan consistent to gateway. We set gateway to EU868 already, so also sensor as EU868.
Step 6. The device uses OTAA to join the LoRaWAN network by default. Take down the device EUI, App EUI and APP key.
There is a more detailed instruction for connecting sensecap S210x sensor to The Things Network.
Register on TTN
Register an end device.
Step 1. Select the end device type and fill in JoinEUI(AppEUI from sensecraft). Then click Confirm.
Step 2. Fill in DevEUI and AppKey.
Step 3. Double check provision information filled in, then click register end device. The sensor data would show up on dashboard.
