The WIKA PEW‑1000 is a compact, wireless pressure sensor designed for remote monitoring of gases and liquids. It features LoRaWAN® wireless connectivity and Bluetooth® for local configuration. Built for industrial use, it offers long battery life, robust environmental protection, and high-accuracy pressure readings.

Thinger.io Integration ​

To integrate the WIKA PEW‑1000 with Thinger.io, you will need a LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) with it's corresponding Thinger.io plugin.

Requirements ​

A LoRaWAN server is required to communicate the WIKA PEW‑1000 with Thinger.io. Supported options include:

Additionally, the corresponding Thinger.io plugin for the selected LoRaWAN server must be installed.

Get Started ​

Installation ​

Look for the plugin in the Thinger.io Plugin Store 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 preconfigured to support auto-provisioning. Make sure the provisioning prefix matches the configuration used in your LoRaWAN server plugin. You may change this prefix if needed.

If using Bluetooth® for local setup, ensure the device is configured to use LoRaWAN and the appropriate AppEUI/AppKey are set correctly.

Usage ​

Begin sending uplink frames from the PEW‑1000. Devices and data buckets will be auto-provisioned in your Thinger.io account.
