IoT Pro Sigfox Backend Setup

Overview

This guide provides instructions for configuring your Sigfox Backend to forward device data to the IoT Pro Software Platform.

Prerequisites

  • Administrative access to a Sigfox Backend

  • The IoT Pro application ID (app_id) for the target application. This can be fetched from Applications.


Device Type Configuration

Organization Strategy

Create a separate Device Type for each IoT Pro application to:

  • Maintain logical separation of device groups

  • Enable application-specific integration endpoints

  • Simplify device management and troubleshooting

  • Support independent configuration and monitoring

Naming Convention

Use the following naming pattern for new Device Types:

{YYYYMMDD}_IoTPro_{app_id}_IoTSolutions_Callback

Example: 20260623_IoTPro_3_IoTSolutions_Callback

Placeholder

Description

{YYYYMMDD}

Date the Device Type was created

{app_id}

Target IoT Pro application ID

Callback Configuration

For each Device Type, create a new Custom Callback with the following settings::

{ "timestamp" : {time}, "device" : "{device}", "seq_number" : "{seqNumber}", "data" : "{data}" }

{time}, {device}, {seqNumber}, and {data} are Sigfox Backend callback variables and are populated automatically at runtime. Replace {app_id} in the URL with the actual IoT Pro application ID for the Device Type being configured.


Registering Devices

When adding a new device to a Device Type, register it as a prototype for the End Product Certificate (PC), rather than under a final certified product profile, until this becomes available.
