Hands-On IoT: Configure sensors and use TTN to collect and visualize sensor data
2025-05-20 , Jeanne Roos

This workshop is designed to provide participants with a hands-on introduction to configuring Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for The Things Network (TTN), collecting sensor data, and visualizing the results. The goal is to empower participants with the skills and knowledge needed to deploy IoT solutions using LoRaWAN technology effectively.


In this workshop you will learn how you can easily collect data for research projects and citizen science projects using sensors. You will configure a wireless LoRaWAN sensor yourself, discover the power of The Things Network for sharing information and visualize your sensor measurements in a dashboard.

With the knowledge you have acquired, you will not only be able to come up with innovative applications with sensors, but also realize them yourself. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application in the IoT space. Participants will leave with a solid foundation to create and manage IoT projects using TTN and LoRaWAN, contributing to smarter, more connected systems in their respective fields.
