How to Configure BoB Assistant on Qubitro: A Step-by-Step Guide

BoB Assistant analyzes the vibration signature of an industrial piece of equipment, ensuring its remote monitoring.

The data is transmitted via a public or private LoRaWAN® radio frequency network.

Prerequisites

• A BoB Assistant device
• A Qubitro account
• An LNS (LoRaWAN Network Server) provider account (e.g., The Things Network, ChirpStack, Loriot)

Setting Up BoB Assistant

Integrating with an LNS Provider

Choosing an LNS Provider

1. Select a suitable LNS (LoRaWAN Network Server) provider that supports BoB Assistant.
2. Some popular options include The Things Network (TTN), ChirpStack, and Loriot.

Configuring the LNS Settings

1. Log in to your LNS provider's dashboard.
2. Add a new device using the BoB Assistant's device EUI, App EUI, and App Key.
3. Ensure the device profile is set correctly to match the BoB Assistant's specifications.

Configuring BoB Assistant on Qubitro

Creating a Decoder Function Using a Device Template

A decoder function is a function that takes an uplink message as input and returns a JSON object with the decoded fields.

You can create a new function by simply navigating to the device details page and clicking on the Functions tab, then, clicking on the Create function button and choosing Decoder function from the list.

Then, choose Watteco as the manufacturer brand and BoB Assistant as the model, and save the decoder function.
