End Devices Configuration Guide

This tutorial guides you through the process of creating device profiles and adding end devices in The Things Stack.

Creating an Application​

  1. On the Home tab, click Create application.
    • If you are on a different tab, click the blue + Add button in the top right and choose Add application.

  1. You will be taken to the application creation page. Fill in the following fields:

    • Application ID (app id)
    • Application Name (app name)
    • (Optional) Description
    • (Optional) Label — It is recommended to use the same label for the application, end devices, and gateways.

  2. Click the blue Create application button.

Registering End Devices​

  1. Inside the application, click the blue + Register end device button.
    • Alternatively, click + Add and choose Register end device in an application.

  1. Choose one of the available methods:
    • Search for a device already known in TTS, or
    • Enter the device manually.
      (Using a predefined device is usually easier if available.)
info

You can also add some devices by scanning a QR code, which automatically fills in identifiers.
This feature does not work with Milesight devices. However, it does work with Nexelec devices, which provide all required identifiers in the QR code.

  1. Fill in the required identifiers:

    • JoinEUI (AppEUI)
      • Available in our documentation or in the manufacturer’s documents.
    • DevEUI
      • Unique for each device, printed on the device itself.
    • AppKey
      • Available in our documentation or the manufacturer’s documents.
    • Device ID
      • Your chosen identifier for the device.

  2. (Optional) Add the same label you used for the application and gateway.

  3. Click the blue Register end device button.

End Device Ready​

Your end device is now ready to use.
