Improvement request Lora device bulk onboarding #118

Open phcrb opened 3 days ago

phcrb commented 3 days ago

Hi Cyril, We're bulk onboarding sets of lora devices, that are described in an excel file

Data are formatted as shown:

Name devEUI appEUI appKey Type Codec Model Connectivity Plan Profile
SensorTH-VOC-xxxx aaaaa bbbbb ccccc gf_loradevice_enless_600-022 Enless Wireless (custom) 600-022 orange-cs/CP_Basic Generic_classA_RX2SF12

When pasting the data into the onboarding form, only the fields Name, Dev EUI, App EUI and App Key are filled. Type and LNS related fields remain blank.

Can you improve this ? Best regards Philippe

Hi, I've added the "type" column to the copy/paste feature. LNS related fields cannot be copied from an excel sheet however. The reason for that is that what you have in your excel sheet are labels, not ids. It is though possible to copy and paste LNS related fields by provided them in the first line, then all added lines will have the sames values for those fields, whether you copy and paste values from an excel sheet or use the "+" button. The only drawback is that you need to order your devices based on the LNS related fields if you want to copy and paste values efficiently. So, basically, the steps to perform bulk provisioning with less copy and paste:

  1. Group your devices in your Excel sheet per LNS related fields

  2. In the first line of the bulk provisioning table, provide the values o the LNS related fields image

  3. In your Excel sheet, copy all fields from "name" to "type" which have the same LNS related field values image

  4. Paste them in the bulk provisioning table image

  5. If you have more devices in your Excel sheet with different LNS related fields, add a new line to the bulk provisioning table and restart from step 2

Best regards, Cyril
