WeHunt supports adding Lafayette devices using a device ID and a one-time code (OTP) generated in the Lafayette app. This article explains how to add a Lafayette device and what to check if it doesn't show a position.
What do I need before I start?
Using Lafayette devices requires at least a WeHunt Premium subscription. Adding a Lafayette device does not require upgrading to a higher subscription level, no matter how many other devices you already have in the app.
You also need the following on the Lafayette side:
- a Lafayette Pro licence for the Lafayette app
- an active subscription for the device itself
- the WeHunt feature switched on for the device in Lafayette My Pages. You must be the owner of the device to do this. This feature is a paid integration that you pay to Lafayette.
How to add a Lafayette device
- Open the Lafayette app and go to Devices.
- Note down the device's ID.
- Generate a one-time code (OTP) for the device in the Lafayette app.
- In WeHunt, go to Devices → Add device and select the Lafayette option.
- Enter the device ID, then enter the OTP code.
- The Lafayette device should now appear under Devices in WeHunt.
Note: this differs from adding a standard Tracker/WeHunt dog-tracking device, which uses an IMEI/ID instead of a device ID + OTP.
Device added, but no location shows in WeHunt?
Check that the WeHunt feature is turned on for the device in Lafayette My Pages. WeHunt only receives location data for a device once this is enabled on Lafayette's side — without it, the device will appear in WeHunt but won't report a position.
What can I do with a Lafayette device in WeHunt?
You can currently adjust the update interval for a Lafayette device from within WeHunt. Other device settings are managed from the Lafayette app.
