Adding Helium Device on Cayenne myDevices
If previous tutorial "Cayenne myDevices Integration with Helium Console" you have completed Helium Console - Cayenne myDevices integration.
Maybe you wonder why we need Cayenne ? (our another integration) As you may noticed, your device data on Helium Console is not user friendly and unfortunately Helium Console does not provide an useful user interface for your data.
So we use several free IoT services providing nice user interfaces to visualise our device data. One of them is Cayenne from myDevices, is a free, drag and drop IoT project builder, that empowers developers, designers and engineers to quickly prototype and share their connected device projects. Cayenne was designed to help users create Internet of Things prototypes and then bring them to production. It supports hundreds of devices, including everything from popular development boards to professional grade remote sensors. Cayenne offers both a web and mobile based application.
So all you need to make an integration to send all your device data to Cayenne in real time. You have already made the integration, only adding device on Cayenne is left so let's do it step by step :)
1) You don't have any myDevices account yet, first "Register" using https://cayenne.mydevices.com
2) After registering and log in, click on the green "Add new..." button on the top of the left side bar as follows:
3) Then select "Device/Widget" from dropdown menu
or if this is your first visit, select LoRa:
4) You'll see new menu opened from the side, first select "LoRa" and then "Helium".
5) While "Helium" selected, type "Cayenne LPP" in the search box as follows:
then click on the "Cayenne LPP" from the search result as follows:
6) We are almost there :) all you need is to fill the "DevEUI" field and change device name (optional).
But to enter "DevEUI", you need Helium Console. So in a new tab log in to http://console.helium.com and click on your device, copy DevUI from Helium Console and paste it as is on Cayenne Dashboard as follows and finally click on the "Add device" button.
Your device now registered on Cayenne Dashboard. Power up your device (wait for GPS fix) and check "Event Log" on "Helium Console" and make sure there integration with Cayenne is "success" as follows:
NOTE: You can change default device name "Cayenne LPP" or remove device using "Configure" button on top right corner as follows:
