With more and more people joining to build the People\u2019s Network by deploying Helium <\/a>gateways globally, there has been a rapid expansion of the Helium network! And we are very happy to be a part of this journey. There have been 30k+ SenseCAP Helium gateways onboarded to the Helium network within 3 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, we\u2019ve seen an increasing need for sensors to be used on the Helium network. Hence, we\u2019ve been working with Datacake<\/a> to create templates to add SenseCAP LoRaWAN sensors to the Helium network conveniently. You can now add a LoRaWAN sensor to the Helium network and start collecting data within 5 steps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking SenseCAP LoRaWAN Air Temperature & Humidity Sensor as an example, I will walk you through the simple steps here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Get Device EUI, APP EUI, and Key <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the Device EUI key on the label of SenseCAP LoRaWAN Sensors. APP EUI and APP Key have been flashed into the devices and you can use HTTP API to get the App EUI and App Key. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Create a Datacake Account<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Create an account on Helium Console<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Log in to your newly created account<\/a>, now you can add new devices, new integration, and configure the flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Add the Device to Datacake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log in to your previously created Datacake account, add the devices to Datacake, and make some settings.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Power on the device and start monitoring <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now you can power on the device and start checking the data of your sensor on Helium Console as well as Datacake. Voila! Now you can monitor the air temperature and humidity data in your environment! You might want to monitor other parameters? Rest assured! Here at Seeed, we\u2019ve developed a series of industrial LoRaWAN sensors specifically focusing on environmental monitoring. And now we have templates that support the following 6 SenseCAP LoRaWAN Sensors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
