Getting Started with the Datacake Wireless IoT Hub

Last updated 20 days ago

This guide will help you set up and activate your Datacake Wireless IoT Hub, link it to your workspace, and start connecting your LoRaWAN devices.

1. What you need

To get started, you’ll need:

  • A Datacake account

  • A valid workspace (created during registration)

  • Your Datacake Wireless IoT Hub

  • The gateway ID (printed on the device and included in the package)

2. Create or log in to your Datacake account

If you don’t have a Datacake account yet, go to and sign up – it’s free. Once registered, log in to access your workspace.

3. Navigate to the Gateway section

Inside your workspace:

  • Look at the left-hand sidebar menu

  • Click on "Gateways"

This section is part of the integrated Datacake LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) and allows you to add and manage gateways.

For more information on the Datacake LNS, see: Datacake LNS - For the next steps, it is not required to read about the LNS now.

You can add multiple gateways to a single workspace, but each gateway can only belong to one workspace at a time.

4. Register your Datacake Wireless IoT Hub

How to add your gateway:

  • Click "Add Gateway"

  • Enter the Gateway ID, which you’ll find:

    • On the back of your device

    • On the label included in the box

Datacake will automatically detect that this is a Datacake Wireless IoT Hub and add it to your workspace.

⚠️ Important:

Make sure to register the gateway first, before connecting it to power. This ensures that the device will appear as online once it starts sending data.

5. Power on the gateway

After successful registration:

  • Connect the device to power using the included adapter

  • Wait a few minutes

The gateway will automatically connect to the Datacake platform using the built-in SIM card.

⏱ When to expect data:

  • Initial status should appear within 10 minutes

  • In some cases, allow up to 20 minutes for first telemetry

  • The device will be marked online once data is received

6. Add your LoRaWAN devices

Once your gateway is online, you can begin adding end devices:

  • Navigate to "Devices" in the sidebar

  • Click "Add Device"

  • Use one of Datacake’s 300+ templates to simplify setup

Any standard LoRaWAN device is supported – for best results, use one that matches an existing template.

7. You’re ready to go

Your gateway is now connected, and your workspace is live. From here, you can create dashboards, set alerts, forward data, and explore all the features of the Datacake platform.
