Once your reseller partner orders the Ground subscription within the ALSO IoT Platform, you’ll get an email to activate the account
Click on Complete your account to activate a new Ground and start using the service
This account is needed to activate all the Workplace+ devices and collect the data
Unboxing and checking
Open the box and ensure that everything you ordered is inside
Check the activation codes on the back of all sensor devices
Write down the activation codes as you might not be able to read them after installing the devices. You’ll need these codes for the device activation procedure
Install the LoRa gateway
Screw the white flat antenna into the connector at the side of the gateway
Insert the provided LAN cable into the only LAN port
Plug in the power adapter to the gateway and to the power outlet
The gateway will have the first LED on, which states that the gateway is turned on
That's it. You can continue to activate your devices and see the data on IoT platform within minutes!
Type the “Activation code” provided and click FIND
Done! Your sensor device is added to the Ground
Repeat the process for the rest of your Workplace+ Devices
IMPORTANT: Activation codes are placed within the device! Do re-type them somewhere on your PC/Cloud, so you can have them again if needed.
Install all devices at desired locations
Insert the batteries in the device, put back the lid and the PIR sensor will blink red, then green after 1-2 seconds and finally in the orange color
Check that you receive the sensor data on your Ground (note that this can take up to 6-7 minutes)
Install the devices by positioning them in the desired area or under the desk
Repeat steps 1 - 3 for the rest of your Workplace+ Devices
Visualise & Share the data
Now that you’ve connected the gateway to the LoRa network, configured all devices in your Ground and physically installed them, the user friendly data visualisation is a way to go
Therefore, create a first Pinboard, customise it to your needs and intelligently determine data patterns over time
You can also SHARE the Pinboard with other members you invite to your Ground or embed it to another web page
Enhance the solution
Sensor Map: shows an actual position of Ground devices on a desired image. Upload the plan or a photo of your workspace and add a Pin for each device. Set a color for the important state changes and stay noitifed. Further, you can share the Sensor Map with others
Integrations: You can start to use data from your Ground more extensively in other applications using our APIs, Webhooks and other integration options

Build your own application
This is a new initiative we are working on to level up the IoT ecosystem with you! Join us in our efforts and sign up the AllThingsTalk application developers program.
Workplace+ extensions are a set of additional devices and sensors that allow you to extend your workplace solution with extra devices as data sources, which can enrich the solution accelerator with additional use cases.
