Configure a STICKER

This guide walks through reading, editing and writing a STICKER's configuration over NFC. If you have not installed the app yet, start with Install the app.

Go to STICKER → Configuration.

The Configuration screen with Read configuration from the device, Scan multiple (batch export), Configure without reading and Configure from file
Entry actionWhat it does
Read configuration from the deviceRead what is on a device, then edit and write it back. The usual path.
Scan multiple (batch export)Capture many devices' configurations in one session — see Scan multiple devices
Configure without readingBuild a configuration and write it to a device, including a powered-off one — see Configure a powered-off device
Configure from fileLoad a configuration you saved earlier (see below)

Read and edit

Choose Read configuration from the device and hold the phone against the STICKER until the configuration is read. Then open the section you want to change.

The configuration sections, collapsed, with save and export actions below
SectionCovers
LoRaWANRegion, activation mode, EUIs, and — in a Keys sub-group — the key material for the selected mode
Measurement & reportingSample and report intervals
SensorsWhich sensors are enabled
HistoryWhether measurements are stored, and which channels — see Sensor history
AlarmsAlarm rule slots — see Alarm rules
Keys follow the activation mode

Keys sits inside the LoRaWAN section and is collapsed by default. It shows only the keys that apply: JoinEUI and AppKey for OTAA, DevAddr and the session keys for ABP. The DevEUI is in the LoRaWAN basics above it.

Sensors is deliberately placed above History, because which sensors are enabled decides which history channels exist.


Write the changes

Edit what you need, then tap Save to device and hold the phone against the STICKER again.

Editing configuration values, with Save to device and Revert changes

The other actions on the screen:

ActionEffect
Apply templateFill the form from a saved template before writing — see Templates
Revert changesDiscard your edits
Revert to read valuesPut a single field back to what the device reported
Save as templateTurn the current settings into a reusable template
Export config to fileSave a copy you can reload later

Nothing is written to the device until you tap Save to device.

For the meaning of each individual parameter, see Configuration parameters.

An export leaves out the secrets

Export config to file writes JSON with the key material removed, so a configuration file is safe to share with a colleague. Keys stay with the device and in your Saved STICKERs list.


Configure from file

Configure from file accepts three kinds of file and adapts to each:

FileWhat happens
A single configuration exportLoaded straight into the form
A batch exportThe app asks you to choose a device from the file
A change-log exportThe app asks you to choose a point in time, then rebuilds the configuration as it was at that read

Reuse a configuration across devices

To set up many devices the same way, save a template and apply it to each device — over NFC, or offline to powered-off devices. See Templates.

Factory and vendor resets

A factory reset drops the device's LoRaWAN session and keys, so it re-joins the network. A vendor reset wipes it back to its serial number and vendor token and sets a new secret key. There is no undo. See Reset a device.
