Milesight LoRaWAN Gateways provide an MQTT API to transmit LoRaWAN device data from the Gateway built-in network server to the MQTT broker. This article will guide you to transmit LoRaWAN device data to Iotyn via Milesight Gateways.

1. Connect Gateway to iOTYN via MQTT

Step 1: Go to Packet Forwarder > General to enable Embedded NS type network server into the localhost Server Address.

Step 2: In the Network Server > General, enable the Gateway built-in network server.

Step 3: Go to Network Server > Applications to add an application, then click Save.

Step 4: Add Data Transmission for this application, select MQTT as type.

Step 5: Fill in the information of IOTYN MQTT broker.

• Broker Address: app.iotyn.in

• Broker Port: 1883

• Client ID: User-defined (between 10 to 20 random character length)

• User Credentials: Enable

• Username: Your IOTYN account TOKEN (Please ask administrator of your organisation to send you token, else send a email to support@iotyn.in)

• Password: Leave blank

To send data to iotyn broker, you need to publish the topic: /v1.6/devices/$deveui

Step 6: Save all settings, then you can check the MQTT status.

2. Add a LoRaWAN Device to the Gateway

Step 1: Go to Network Server > Profiles to add a device profile according to device type.

Step 2: In the Network Server > Device add a device, select the correct device profile and the application connected to IOTYN, then fill in the device information (Device EUI, App key, etc.).

Once a new value is received in the Gateway from the device, a new device will be automatically created into your IOTYN account.

You can check if the Gateway receives data on Network Server > Device page.

3. Add Payload Decoder

Step 1: Go to Network Server > Payload Codec and go down to Custom Payload Codec section.

Step 2: Select a template for your Payload Codec, depending on the device you want to connect to your Gateway. You can also modify it if you want.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• This Payload Codec only applies to the devices under this application. If you need to use other decoders, please create a new application.

• For more details about the Payload Codec please refer to How to Use Payload Codec on Milesight Gateway.

• IOTYN only supports numerical data as values, please ensure all your up-link data types are numbers.

4. Data Visualization

Step 1: Select the device created to verify the variables received.
​

Step 2: Change the device name to a friendly one if needed.

Step 3: Go to Data -> Dashboard section of your IOTYN account to create a dashboard.

​Step 4: Select the plus (+) icon located a the upper right side of the page to add widgets to display your data.
