Since your Smart Badge started sending location data, you can now monitor the messages from three different environments. The first environment is the TPC, where all LoRaWAN® messages from your badge are received and relayed to Abeeway Location Services. The second environment is the Abeeway Device Manager via a web browser, and the last one is the Abeeway Mobile Application.
In this step, you will monitor the status of your Smart Badge on TPC.
TPC serves as the network platform that your Smart Badge uses to send messages using LoRaWAN® technology. Monitoring the device’s status and messages on the TPC platform is crucial for understanding its operations. However, it is important to note that when your mobile phone and Smart Badge are connected via Bluetooth, your phone’s location is sent instead of the tracker’s GPS or WiFi position via LoRaWAN® messages to the Abeeway Location Engine. Consequently, it’s normal not to observe any LoRaWAN® communications from your device in this particular situation.

Be aware that this user ID and password are different from those you previously used with the Abeeway Mobile App.
From this screen, you can access detailed information about your Smart Badge. However, keep in mind that the data you are viewing is limited to your device’s LoRaWAN® perspective.
On this screen, you have the ability to access precise information regarding the LoRaWAN® messages received by your TPC network. Furthermore, you can also view the list of TPC gateways that receive your LoRaWAN® communications and subsequently transmit them to your TPC account.
In this step, you will view many useful details about your Smart Badge.
As mentioned earlier, there are three methods available for reviewing location data on your Smart Badge. One of these methods, the Abeeway Mobile Application, has already been installed and set up. Additionally, you have the option to utilize a web browser to access the Abeeway Device Manager application. Lastly, while not covered in this activity, the possibility of integrating an API for obtaining location data remains.
Be aware that this link is different from the one that appears under the Access ThingPark menu option on the TPC home page.
Note that the devices in the table’s right column represent the list of devices you are currently focusing on and will be working with. Conversely, the devices in the left column of the table encompass all the devices you have registered.
In this activity, you will utilize Abeeway Mobile Application to access the location of your Smart Badge.
In this step, you will have the capability to obtain more insights about the movements of your Smart Badge. You can determine specific zones to receive alerts whenever the device enters or exits those designated areas.
