machineQ LoRaWAN™

machineQ LoRaWAN™

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to integrate machineQ LoRaWAN with the TagoIO Platform. By following these instructions, you will enable uplink and downlink operations, allowing data exchange between your LoRaWAN devices and the TagoIO application.

MachineQ

Follow these steps in order to integrate your devices. You may skip some of them depending on your case. For example, if you have already generated an authorization and added it to machineQ, you can skip to step 4.

Step 1: Generate an Application at machineQ

First, make sure that you create an Application at machineQ Central so that the integration with TagoIO can be authorized. 

Go to your machineQ Central, and follow this machineQ tutorial to generate a Client ID and a Client Secret that you will need to input at TagoIO later.

Step 2: Create Authorization in TagoIO

  1. Access Authorizations:
    1. Go to Devices.
    2. Click on Authorizations
       at the top of the page.

  2. Create a New Authorization:
    1. Click the Create Authorization button.
    2. Provide a meaningful name for the authorization (e.g., MachineQ-Integration).
    3. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret from Step 2 into the Additional Parameters section.
      1. Format CLIENT_ID;CLIENT_SECRET
      2. Example: 64025-24054-230495-64034;ABT_QWzsSQAAH__HAwr...
    4. Click Save.

  3. Copy the Authorization Token:
    1. After creation, copy the authorization token. You will need this in later steps.

You must enter your Client ID; Client Secret separated by a semicolon in the Additional parameter field.

Only one Authorization per application is necessary. Don't do it for each device.

Step 3: Add Integration to machineQ

Access the machineQ Central, enter into the 'Integration' section, click on 'Add Output Profile', and select Restful API. The output format can be left as "extended".

Fill in the following fields:

NameEnter a unique identifier (e.g., tagoio-integration).
URLUse the endpoint format https://machineq.middleware.REGION.tago.io/uplink.
Replace REGION with your deployment region (e.g., us-e1, eu-w1).
For a list of available regions, visit TagoIO Network Integration.
Token Type
Enter the word Authorization
Token Value
Set its value to the TagoIO Authorization token you copied in Step 2.


Step 4: Add Device in TagoIO

To integrate your device with the TagoIO Platform, follow these guidelines:
  1. Ensure Device EUI Consistency:
    1. When creating the device in TagoIO, use the exact same Device EUI that is configured in MachineQ.
    2. The Device EUI must match exactly to establish a successful connection between MachineQ and TagoIO.
  2. Select the Appropriate Network and Device Type:
    1. Choose the MachineQ Network during the device setup process.
    2. Select the correct device type from the available options. If your device is not listed, you can add support through connectors.
  3. Add Device Support via Connectors (If Necessary):
    1. If your device type is not available in the default list, enhance its compatibility by utilizing connectors.
    2. For more information on available connectors and how to use them, refer to the Connector Overview.
For detailed instructions on adding devices, visit the Adding Devices page.


Finalizing Setup

  1. Power On Your Devices:
    1. Turn on your LoRaWAN device and gateway to initiate data transmission.
  2. Verify Data Reception:
    1. In TagoIO, navigate to the Device and into the Data tab to confirm that data is being received.
    2. Alternatively, use the Live Inspector within your device settings to monitor incoming data in real-time.

With data successfully flowing into TagoIO, you can start creating dashboards, add notifications, and create scripts to process your data.
