WIKA PGW-23-100

The WIKA PGW23-100 is a hybrid IIoT pressure gauge: it combines a mechanical on-site Bourdon tube display with wireless LoRaWAN® communication for remote monitoring. It is designed for process-industry applications where you want both local indication and centralized data collection.

Thinger.io Integration ​

This plugin allows you to integrate PGW23-100 devices into Thinger.io via a LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS) and the corresponding Thinger.io LoRaWAN plugin.

Requirements ​

A LoRaWAN server is required to communicate the WIKA PGW-23-100 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.
