| 32 | + |
| 33 | +- [The Things Stack](https://www.thethingsindustries.com/stack/) |
| 34 | +- [LORIOT](https://loriot.io/) |
| 35 | +- [ChirpStack](https://www.chirpstack.io/) |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Alongside, the corresponding plugin for the selected LoRaWAN server needs to be installed in your Thinger.io instance. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Get Started |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### Installation |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +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. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +### Configuration |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +The Product is already preconfigured, check that the auto provision prefix matches the one selected in your LoRaWAN server plugin in Thinger.io, or change it to your desire. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### Usage |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +Start sending uplinks for autoprovisioning devices and buckets. |
| 52 | +This product also provides a predefined dashboard and downlinks for location tracking and sensor data visualization. |
