NB-IoT Device Pairing

This topic describes the mode of pairing a narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) device based on the low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) radio technology. NB-IoT connects IoT devices more simply and efficiently on already established mobile networks. Users can scan the QR code of an NB-IoT device and start pairing.

Process of pairing NB-IoT device

Query device UUID

//IThingDeviceActivator.java
void deviceQrCodeParse(String url, IThingDataCallback<QrScanBean> callback);

Parameters

Example

// The URL obtained after the device QR code is scanned.
ThingHomeSdk.getActivatorInstance().deviceQrCodeParse("url", new IThingDataCallback<QrScanBean>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(QrScanBean result) {
                if(result != null){
                    // Get UUID from result.actionData. This parameter will be used as the request parameter in the subsequent pairing process.

                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onError(String errorCode, String errorMessage) {
                // errorCode:QR_PROTOCOL_NOT_RECOGNIZED  The protocol is unknown.

            }
        });

Bind with NB-IoT Device

void bindNbDeviceWithQRCode(long homeId,String uuid, String timeZone, IThingDevActivatorListener listener);

Parameters

Example

// The URL obtained after the device QR code is scanned.
ThingHomeSdk.getActivatorInstance().bindNbDeviceWithQRCode(123xx,"uuidxxxx","timezonexx" new IThingDevActivatorListener<DeviceBean>() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(DeviceBean result) {
             
            }

            @Override
            public void onError(String errorCode, String errorMessage) {

            }
        });

public String getTimeZone() {
    TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
    String displayName = "+08:00";
    if (tz != null) {
        String str = tz.getDisplayName();
        if (str != null && !str.isEmpty()) {
            int indexOf = str.indexOf("+");
            if (indexOf == -1) {
                indexOf = str.indexOf("-");
            }
            if (indexOf != -1) {
                displayName = str.substring(indexOf);
            }
            if (!displayName.contains(":")) {
                displayName = displayName.substring(0, 3) + ":" + displayName.substring(3);
            }
        }
    }
    return displayName;
}
