OTC App. Adaptive data rate (ADR) CMi4140 supports Adaptive Data Rate (ADR), part of the LoRaWAN standard, where the network server determines the optimal rate of communication for the module based on current signal conditions. In the best radio conditions, the module will use its highest data rate (DR5) in order to be as energy efficient as possible.
If EcoMode has been disabled, guarantees about battery-life is no longer valid (even if EcoMode is activated later). Message formats CMi4140 has seven different message formats: Standard, Compact, JSON, Scheduled – Daily redundant, Scheduled – Extended, Combined heat/cooling and Heat Intelligence.

Downlink CMi4140 supports configuration via downlink, i.e. sending commands to an end-device via the LoRaWAN network. Note that this feature should only be used sparingly due to bandwidth consideration. Communication via downlink is sent on port 2 and can only be made in a short window after an uplink transmission from module to server.
