Device Manual

Add device in Console

To start, you'll need to create a Helium Console account and add your device. You should have been provided with a DevEUI, AppEUI, and AppKey from your seller, which are needed to add the device. Follow our quick start for instructions.

Once you have added your device to Console, you'll next need to create an integration to send your device data to Victor VLINK.

1. Create HTTP Integration

To start, we'll create a new HTTP integration in Console. Navigate to the Integrations page using the left navigation and then select the HTTP integration.

Next we'll fill in the details, see instructions and image below.

  1. Enter the VLINK Endpoint URL: https://ibgsq3pdbl.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/default/console-to-victormouse-translator
  2. Enter the HTTP Header - Key: x-api-key and Value: peKuqRvLce7CuqUE0EkR1aE9bt0Hy3nJnYSh7yM3
  3. Enter the name for this Integration: VLINK Integration
  4. Create and apply a Label for this Integration, we've used the same name as the integration.
  5. Finally, click Add Integration to complete.

2. Attach Label to Device

Next we'll attach the VLINK Integration label to the device. Navigate to your device page and click the Add Label button shown below.

Search for the VLINK Integration label and click Add Label as shown below.

You will need a VLINK account to finish the onboarding steps above. You should have received these account details when you purchased the device.
