Check that the Sigfox identifier of the device and the one in the Backend match. The device identifier might be retrieved as follows:

  • Sigfox Ready end products may show the ID on a sticker.
  • Usually, the device ID can be retrieved via AT command over USB or serial port.
  • If a Sigfox Verified module is embedded, you may find the ID displayed on the module casing too.
Look for the right device ID in the Backend.
