How do I connect LoRaWAN or IoT sensor networks (Netmore, Talkpool, The Things Network) to Inbilit?

LoRaWAN-based sensor networks are increasingly used for sub-metering in buildings. Common providers include Netmore, Talkpool, and The Things Network (TTN). These networks use low-power wireless sensors that transmit readings through gateways to a cloud platform.

Netmore (common in Swedish commercial buildings)

Netmore provides a cloud portal where sensor data is collected:

1. Log in to the Netmore portal and locate your devices
2. Contact Netmore support for API access — they provide a REST API with device data
3. Get API documentation and an API key
4. In Inbilit, use Analytics → Data Import → Instant API Sync
5. Alternatively, Netmore supports webhook forwarding — ask them to push data to your Inbilit webhook URL

Talkpool

Talkpool offers LoRaWAN sensors and a cloud platform:

1. Request API credentials from Talkpool support
2. Use REST API import in Inbilit with the Talkpool API documentation
3. Talkpool may also support MQTT — that cannot be imported directly, so ask instead whether they can forward the same data to a webhook URL

The Things Network (TTN) / The Things Industries (TTI)

TTN is an open LoRaWAN network platform:

1. In your TTN Console, go to Applications → Integrations
2. Set up a Webhook integration and paste your Inbilit webhook URL
3. In Inbilit, use a Real-Time Push (Webhook) data source — TTN's MQTT integration cannot be imported directly

Chirpstack

If you run your own LoRaWAN server with Chirpstack:

1. Chirpstack has built-in MQTT and HTTP integration — use the HTTP one
2. Configure an HTTP integration pointing to your Inbilit webhook URL

What to ask your IoT network provider: "I need to forward sensor data to an external platform. Do you support webhook forwarding or a REST API I can connect to?"
