Hi all. I’m new to TagoIO, but have been running a number of Helium (LoRaWAN) IoT devices for a while. I’d like to start with a small personal project (TagoIO free account) to create a dashboard for a Helium WeatherXM station but after reading documentation I’m a little puzzled on the best way to get the station data into TagoIO. It seems the legacy Helium Console was originally a “bridge” that could push Helium device data to TagoIO, but is no longer available. Is there a good (free) option available today? Alternately it looks like I could write my own TagoIO Analysis script to poll & parse the WeatherXM REST API and trigger it on schedule-based Action, but is there a better way since it’s a standard Helium device? Thanks for the community support!
also a helium user ..
not sure about the weather xm integration but what you need is an LNS provider.

iirc .. meteo has a free tier .. i use heyiot .. but expect to pay a little something for using a hosted service.
data credits are like .00001 usd so even if you pay 5x its nothing lol.
that will ingest the data then make the chirpstack integration to tago to store and use the data.
Thank you. I’ll look into those LNS providers. In the meantime, I went ahead and wrote the Tago Analysis script (JavaScript) with a scheduled Action to periodically poll the public WeatherXM REST endpoint for the weather station data and store it in the Tago device. That seems to be working well enough as a (simple/free) “bridge” for now.
