Hello, is it “device name” in /v1.6/devices/{{device_EUI}} or /v1.6/devices/{{device_name}} automatically created? Or we must declare first

[velev (Todor Velev)]

This is a general topic that takes the EUI/name from Build-In server. You should use it as is. So, automatically created.

Hi Nikolai,

This is not a thorough guide on how to Build your LoRaWAN Network but instead this is just a recap to those who are present during our workshop in The Things Network Conference in Amsterdam last January 30.
