wika logo

The WIKA PGW23-100 is a hybrid IIoT pressure gauge: it combines a mechanical on-site Bourdon tube display with wireless LoRaWAN® communication for remote monitoring. It is designed for process-industry applications where you want both local indication and centralized data collection.

Thinger.io Integration

This plugin allows you to integrate PGW23-100 devices into Thinger.io via a LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) and the corresponding Thinger.io LoRaWAN plugin.

Requirements

A LoRaWAN server is required to communicate the WIKA PGW-23-100 with Thinger.io. Supported options include:

Additionally, the corresponding Thinger.io plugin for the selected LoRaWAN server must be installed.

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 preconfigured to support auto-provisioning. Make sure the provisioning prefix matches the configuration used in your LoRaWAN server plugin. You may change this prefix if needed.

If using Bluetooth® for local setup, ensure the device is configured to use LoRaWAN and the appropriate AppEUI/AppKey are set correctly.
