## Thinger.io Integration

### Requirements

A LoRaWAN server is required to connect the Office Occupancy Counter to Thinger.io. Supported options include:

- [The Things Stack](https://www.thethingsindustries.com/stack/)
- [LORIOT](https://loriot.io/)
- [ChirpStack](https://www.chirpstack.io/)

The corresponding plugin for the selected LoRaWAN server must be installed in your Thinger.io instance.

### Get Started

#### Installation

Look for the plugin in the [Thinger.io Plugin Store](https://marketplace.thinger.io/) and install it in your Thinger.io instance. Once the plugin is installed, a new Product will be created for this device.

#### Configuration

The Product is already preconfigured. Verify that the auto provision prefix matches the one selected in your LoRaWAN server plugin in Thinger.io, or modify it according to your requirements.

#### Usage

Start sending uplinks for autoprovisioning devices and buckets.

This product also provides a predefined dashboard and downlinks.
