5.2.2.5 Sigfox
This method can be used to receive a Sigfox downlink or FSK message.
# size of buffer should be passed for expected payload, e.g. 64 bytes
s.recv(64)
socket.setsockopt(level, optname, value)
Set the value of the given socket option. The needed symbolic constants are defined in the
socket module (
SO_*
Examples:
# wait for a downlink after sending the uplink packet
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SIGFOX, socket.SO_RX, True)
# make the socket uplink only
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SIGFOX, socket.SO_RX, False)
# use the socket to send a Sigfox Out Of Band message
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SIGFOX, socket.SO_OOB, True)
# disable Out-Of-Band to use the socket normally
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SIGFOX, socket.SO_OOB, False)
# select the bit value when sending bit only packets
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SIGFOX, socket.SO_BIT, False)
Sending a Sigfox packet with a single bit is achieved by sending an empty string, i.e.:
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_SIGFOX, socket.SOCK_RAW)
# send a 1 bit
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SIGFOX, socket.SO_BIT, True)
s.send('')
socket.settimeout(value)
# set timeout for the socket, e.g. 5 seconds
s.settimeout(5.0)
socket.setblocking(flag)
# specifies if socket should be blocking based upon Boolean flag.
s.setblocking(True)
If the socket is set to blocking, your code will be wait until the socket completes
sending/receiving.
Sigfox Downlink
etc.). In the case of Sigfox the values are always an integer.
