Abstract

A method for activating a connected object intended to function in an low power wide area network (“LPWAN”) network. The method includes, when it is implemented by the connected object: detecting a first signal transmitted by an external device; when the first signal has predefined characteristics, making the connected object pass from a standby mode to an active mode, only a module of the connected object intended to detect the first signal being activated in standby mode; receiving a second signal comprising a signature from the external device; checking that the signature is in accordance with a predefined signature and, when the signature is in accordance with a predefined signature, obtaining configuration parameters, configuring the connected object in accordance with the configuration parameters obtained and transmitting a connection request message to said network.
