The Things Uno

The Things Uno is based on the Arduino Leonardo with an added Microchip LoRaWAN® module. It is fully compatible with the Arduino IDE and existing shields. The board integrates a Microchip RN2483 module for LoRa connectivity through an on-board antenna, making it an ideal development platform for creating LoRaWAN-enabled IoT applications.

Features

  • Microcontroller: Based on Arduino Leonardo
  • LoRaWAN Module: Microchip RN2483
  • Connectivity: LoRaWAN protocol for long-range, low-power communication
  • Compatibility: Fully compatible with Arduino IDE
  • Shield Support: Compatible with existing Arduino shields
  • Antenna: Integrated on-board antenna
  • Development: Perfect for prototyping and developing LoRaWAN applications

Use Cases

  • IoT application development and prototyping
  • Educational projects for learning LoRaWAN technology
  • Sensor networks with long-range connectivity
  • Low-power remote monitoring solutions
  • Arduino-based LoRaWAN integrations

Thinger.io Integration

The Things Uno can be integrated with Thinger.io through a LoRaWAN network server, enabling remote device management, data visualization, and control capabilities.

Requirements

A LoRaWAN server is required to communicate the The Things Uno into Thinger.io, some options are:

Alongside, the corresponding plugin for the selected LoRaWAN server needs to be installed in your Thinger.io instance.

Get Started

Installation

Look for the plugin in the Thinger.io Plugin Store and install it in your Thinger.io instance. Once the plugin is installed a new Product will be created for this device.

Configuration

The Product is already preconfigured, check that the auto provision prefix matches the one selected in your LoRaWAN server plugin in Thinger.io, or change it to your desire.

Usage

Start sending uplinks for autoprovisioning devices and buckets. This product also provides a predefined dashboard and downlinks.
