Hey Folks!
We've just released a whole new way to easily integrate any of your [Sigfox](https://www.sigfox.com) devices with the [Wia](https://www.wia.io) cloud platform. Here's the steps you need to follow to get up and going.

P.S. If you want to see your devices on iOS and Android, pre-register [here](https://wia.io/beta "Wia iOS and Android Beta") for our beta.

### Create Your Wia Account
If you haven't already got one, [click here](https://dashboard.wia.io/signup "Create your Wia account") to sign up.

### Setup a Space
Once logged in, setup a new Space for your devices. I'm going to call mine `My Sigfox Devices`. When your Space is ready, you should see a screen like the one below.

### Start Setting Up Integration
Open the Space dropdown, by clicking on the Space name in the top left corner, and click `Settings`. Select `Integrations` in the sidebar.

Click `Setup` to begin setting up the integration.

### How to get your Sigfox API keys
- Go to the [Sigfox dashboard](https://backend.sigfox.com "Sigfox Backend")
- Go to Group > `Your Group Name` > API Access
- To generate your API keys, follow these steps:
  - Click on `New` in the top right hand corner
  - Enter Wia as the name
  - `Add DEVICES_MESSAGES[R]` option and generate keys

Copy and paste the Login and Password keys into the input fields in Wia and click `Create Integration`.

### How to setup your Sigfox callback
Now that you've setup the integration. Let's setup the callback for your devices.
- Go to the [Sigfox dashboard](https://backend.sigfox.com "Sigfox Backend")
- Select Device Type, then the name of the device type you would like to integrate
- On the left, select Callbacks
  - Note: If there are current any Wia callbacks, remove them
- Click New in the top left corner to create a new callback
- Select Custom Callback and enter the parameters below:
  - Type: `DATA` `UPLINK`
  - Channel: `URL`
  - Url pattern: `https://api.wia.io/v1/events`
  - Use HTTP method: `POST`
  - Headers
    - header: `Authorization`
    - value: `Bearer [YOUR INBOUND KEY]`
      - Note: See inbound key below that starts with `ik_`
    - Content Type: `application/json`
  - Body: Copy and paste text from [here](https://gist.github.com/conalllaverty/49ba5a6cdefd853a43662d0349b30338)
  - Click Ok

Start sending data from any of your Sigfox devices of that device type and they will start to appear in Wia.

### Invite People to Your Space (Optional)
You can now share your Space with other users. Click on the Space name in the top left corner, go to `Settings` then click `Users` in the sidebar. Enter the email address of the person(s) you would like to invite.

That's all folks!
