The Things Network integration. Manage data, records, and automate workflows. Use when the user wants to interact with The Things Network data.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and workflows for integrating with The Things Network using the Membrane CLI that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

Requires @membranehq/cli installed locally. Requires membrane account access. About 4k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-04-28. 253 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
The Things Network The Things Network is a global, open-source network for IoT devices using LoRaWAN technology. It enables developers and businesses to connect sensors and applications to the internet without cellular or WiFi. It's used by hobbyists, researchers, and companies building IoT solutions for smart cities, agriculture, and logistics. Official docs: https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/docs/ The Things Network Overview Application Device Uplink Message Downlink Message Working with The Things Network This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with The Things Network. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing. Install the CLI Install the Membrane CLI so you can run membrane from the terminal: Authentication This will either open a browser for authentication or print an authorization URL to the console, depending on whether interactive mode is available. Headless environments: The command will print an authorization URL. Ask the user to open it in a browser. When they see a code after completing login, finish with: Add --json to any command for machine-readable JSON output. Agent Types : claude, openclaw, codex, warp, windsurf, etc. Those will be used to adjust tooling to be used best with your harness Connecting to The Things Network Use membrane connection ensure to find or create a connection by app URL or domain: The user completes authentication in the browser. The output contains the new connection id. This is the fastest way to get a connection. The URL is normalized to a domain and matched against known apps. If no app is found, one is created and a connector is built automatically. If the returned connection has state: "READY", skip to Step 2. 1b. Wait for the connection to be ready If the connection is in BUILDING state, poll until it's ready: The --wait flag long-polls (up to --timeout seconds, default 30) until the state changes. …
