Temperature and Humidity Sensor

Lansitec

Platform: ThingsBoard
Hardware Type: Sensors
Connectivity: LoRaWAN
Industry: Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, Environmental Monitoring, Healthcare, Industrial Manufacturing
Use Case: Environment Monitoring, Smart Office, Smart Farming, Health Care, Air Quality Monitoring, Smart Irrigation, Waste Management

Temperature & Humidity Sensor is designed based on the advanced LoRa modulation and powered by a lithium battery with a 5-year operation time. It offers a cost-effective LoRaWAN end device for a variety of applications.
Its IP65 enclosure and long operation time offer the benefit of low maintenance cost. Therefore, it is ideal for outdoor use. The sensor operation mode can be adjusted via LoRaWAN Network.
Lansitec sensor family is fully compatible and plug-andplay for LoRaWAN network operation. It can also work with the Lansitec wireless data transfer unit for the low-cost deployment.

Prerequisites

To continue with this guide we will need the following:

Configuration

Only ThingsBoard Cloud works when using direct communication from this device to ThingsBoard via MQTT.

You may use ThingsBoard PE on-premises or ThingsBoard Cloud when using ThingsBoard Integrations.

To create an integration with a network server please choose first one of the supported network servers:

Add a gateway on the Chirpstack

We need to add a gateway on the Chirpstack.

To add a gateway, follow next steps:

Login to Chirpstack server. Go to the “Gateways” page and click on the “Add gateway” button.
Fill name, Gateway ID (It will be different, you can find it on the gateway control panel) with your data, scroll down and click on the “Submit” button.
The gateway is added. In gateways tab you can see its status.

Add device profile on the Chirpstack

Login to Chirpstack server. Go to the “Device profiles” page and click on Add device profile button.
Fill in the required fields.
Go to the Codec tab, select JavaScript functions from the Payload codec dropdown menu, and paste the decoder function. Then click the Submit button.

Decode function:

// Decode decodes an array of bytes into an object.
// - fPort contains the LoRaWAN fPort number
// - bytes is an array of bytes, e.g. [225, 230, 255, 0]
// - variables contains the device variables e.g. {"calibration": "3.5"} (both the key / value are of type string)
// The function must return an object, e.g. {"temperature": 22.5}
// Temperature & Humidity Sensor decoder

var result = {
  deviceName: deviceName,
  deviceType: deviceType,
  telemetry: data.uplink_message.decoded_payload
};

return result;

Create integration in ThingsBoard

Next, we will create the “TheThingsIndustries” integration inside the ThingsBoard.

At first, copy the code, we will need it to create the uplink converter:

var data = decodeToJson(payload);
var deviceName = data.end_device_ids.device_id;
var deviceType = data.end_device_ids.application_ids.application_id;

var result = {
  deviceName: deviceName,
  deviceType: deviceType,
  telemetry: data.uplink_message.decoded_payload
};

return result;

In the “Connect”step, you will need the following parameters:

Region: eu1 (region where your application was registered inside The Things Industries Console);
Username: thingsboard-application-2025-05@lansitec-testplan (use Username from integration on The Things Stack Industries);
Password: use Password from integration on The Things Industries.

Now, navigate to the “Integrations” page under the “Integrations center” section and follow this steps:

Click “plus”icon in the upper right corner to add new integration. Select type “The Things Industries Integration”. Then, click “Next” button.
Paste the previously copied script to the Decoder function section. Click “Next” button.
