# Helium
{% hint style="success" %}
[Helium](https://www.helium.com/) is a global, distributed network of Hotspots that creates public, long-range wireless coverage for LoRaWAN-enabled IoT devices. Hotspots produce and are compensated in HNT, the native cryptocurrency of the Helium blockchain.
You will find more information about Helium [here](https://docs.helium.com/).
{% endhint %}
This page describes how to connect the Helium console account to akenza.
The following steps are explained in more detail:
1. [Create a data flow](#1.-create-a-data-flow)
2. [Create a device](#create-a-device-on-akenza)
3. [Create integration on the Helium console](#create-integration-on-the-helium-console)
### 1. Create a data flow
Go to *Data Flow* and select *Create Data Flow*. Select **LoRa** as a device connector and Helium as a connectivity provider accordingly.
Proceed with selecting your desired device type for payload parsing and the output connector to define the data destination.
{% hint style="info" %}
Find out more about output connectors [here](https://docs.akenza.io/get-started/connectors).
{% endhint %}
Proceed now with the creation of your device on akenza in *Assets*.
### 2. Create a device
Go to *Assets* on akenza and select *Create Device*. Give a name to your device and optionally a description, tags, or a custom field. Select your newly created HTTP Data Flow.
The final step to creating the new device is to enter the **Device EUI** from the existing device on your **Helium console**.
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** This is not the ID on the Console device page, but the **Device EUI**. Copy the Device EUI on the Console device page.
{% endhint %}
Your device will now be displayed on akenza on the **Asset Inventory Overview**.
Copy now the **Uplink Secret** of your Helium device connector on your data flow on akenza.
### 3. Create integration on the Helium console
Go to *Integrations* on your Helium console and create a new Integration by selecting the **prebuilt integration** of *akenza*.
Insert the copied **Uplink Secret** in the field of the **Endpoint Details** in Step 2 and save the Integration Connector.
#### 3.1 Connect the akenza integration to your device
The final step to completing the integration with a device is to create a **flow connection** on the Helium console. Navigate to *Flows* on Console, add the device and integration nodes, and finally connect both of them as shown below.
The Helium console integration is now connected to the **Data Flow** on akenza. The device is also created and is receiving data once the device transmits an uplink.
Incoming data can be viewed on the **Device Detail Page** on akenza by selecting the device on the **Asset Inventory Overview** within *Assets*.
