# Adding a Device to ChirpStack

Adding a device to your ChirpStack console for the first time is currently a 3 step process. Each device needs a device profile and each device needs to belong to an application. Integrations are currently handled per-application level for device(s).

1. Create a Device Profile or Select from Templates  
2. Create an Application  
3. Create a Device in the Application

After adding a device to ChirpStack, take note of the Device EUI and Join EUI values in order to be able to [Configure Device in Helium Config Service](https://docs.helium.com/iot/run-an-lns/configure-routing-rules#configure-device-in-helium-config-service)

## Create Device Profile

### Device Profiles -> Add Device Profile

From the dashboard click on **Device Profiles**.

From **Device Profiles** click on **Add device profile**.

From here you can either create a new **device profile**, or select one from the **device-profile** **templates** if they're available.

Click **Submit** to add your new device profile.

## Create Application

### Applications -> Add Application

From the **Applications** sidebar menu, click **Add Application**.

Create the application with a name and description.

## Create Device in Application

### Application -> Application-Name -> Add Device

Select your Application and click **Add Device**.

Fill in your device details and select the device profile you made earlier. A Device EUI can be entered from a pre-provisioned device, or pressing the **↻** button will generate a fresh EUI.

The AppKey will be shown in the next step, don't worry about finding it yet.

Click **Submit** when done.

Enter the application key or generate a new one by pressing the **↻** button.

Click **Submit** once you enter the application key.

Your device should be created and listed in the application. The **LoRaWAN frames** tab will display a live view of payloads being delivered to the LNS.

Additional devices can be added to the existing Application.
