To setup your adeunis device for D2C you will go through the following steps:
- Get device documentations from adeunis web site
- Install NB-IoT/LTE-M IoT Configuration app from Google Play store or Apple App Store on your smartphone
- Install your SIM card in the device
- Configure the device according the steps in the installation guide
- Write configuration to device
These steps are described below.
Get device documentations from adeunis
Before you start, get the Installation Guide and User Guide for the SERENTIY CO2/VOC device from the adeunis web site.
Install NB-IoT/LTE-M IoT Configuration app
Once you have made sure that you have access to the device documentation, install the adeunis NB-IoT/LTE-M IoT Configurator smartphone app from the Google Play store so that you can configure the device using your smartphone and NFC.

Slide the cover of the SIM card holder gently inward, parallel to the circuit board, until you feel a small resistance point being overcome, allowing the cover to flip open.
Flip open the cover of the SIM card holder and place the SIM card with the contacts facing downward and the notch facing outward.
Afterward, close the cover of the SIM card and slide it gently outward until you feel the resistance point being overcome again.

A look into the smartphone app will show you that the device offers many different configuration options. To make it easier for you, below is a complete configuration for:
- a LwM2M server from D2C without bootstrapping,
- a SIM card from Telekom Deutschland,
- usage of the device in Germany
