    Use your sensor through either the console or a third-party network. To use the console, use the following steps. To use a third-party network, refer to the Connecting LoRaWAN Sensors on Gateways and Networks (RB00001) , which is available through the sensor page at https://www.multitech.com/products/sensors Create a console account at: https://console.radiobridge.com/ Click on Devices on the left.

    Refer to the Sensor Battery Estimator.xlsx spreadsheet on the on the sensor's product page for specific battery life estimates: https://www.multitech.com/products/sensors Battery life depends on the number of transmissions per day. Power required for a message transmission is greater than the “sleep current” for high power radio technologies (e.g, LoRaWAN).

  • Page 10: Chapter 4 - Common Messages

    Chapter 4 – Common Messages Common Messages This chapter defines the protocol and message definitions common to all MultiTech wireless sensors. Common messages include basic error messages, tamper, supervisory, link quality, and downlink acknowledgments. Sensor specific messages are in the Sensor Specific Messages chapter.

  • Page 11: Reset Message 0X00

    COMMON MESSAGES Message Type Payload Description Sensor event Sensor events are defined in the Sensor Specific Messages chapter. 0xfb Link quality Sent after each downlink configuration (refer to Link Quality Message) or to periodically ping the network server (refer to Link Quality Check Period).

  • Page 12: Supervisory Message 0X01

    COMMON MESSAGES Supervisory Message 0x01 Wireless sensors periodically (19 hours by default) send a supervisory message so the backend system can verify the device is still alive and report error conditions. The supervisory message payload include current sensor status. The following table shows the supervisory message payload: Bytes Description Supervisory error codes as follows:...

  • Page 13: Downlink Messages

    COMMON MESSAGES Downlink Messages Downlink messages are from the cloud to the sensor and are used to configure the sensor. The sensor initiates receiving downlink messages upon transmitting, since the sensor is typically sleeping with the radio turned off. All downlink messages must contain 8 bytes, padded with zeroes. A downlink will be received after any uplink within the receive window.
  • Page 14 COMMON MESSAGES Disable Sensor Events The following table shows the disable sensor event bit definitions. Description Not used Disable all sensor events Radio Config The following table shows the radio config byte definition. Note: Available in firmware version 1.4 or newer. Bits Description Not used (reserved)
  • Page 15 COMMON MESSAGES Refer to the Battery Estimator for battery life estimates relative to sampling rate: https://radiobridge.com/documents/Sensor%20Battery%20Estimator.xlsx A value of 0 in this field leaves the sampling rate at the current value. Use the following table to determine the sampling rate if the value is not zero. Note: Sampling period only applies to sensors that take measurements like temperature and tilt, it does not apply to sensors with binary inputs such as door/window sensors or push buttons.

  • Page 16: Device Info Request

    COMMON MESSAGES Device Info Request The Device Info Request command is a downlink to inform the gateway to report its downlink configuration information. Description 0x00 Downlink configuration type to request. 0-254: Request device info for specific downlink type to report. 255: Request device info for all downlink configurations.

  • Page 17: Adr Advanced Configuration

    COMMON MESSAGES ADR Advanced Configuration The ADR configuration message overrides the LoRaWAN ADR_ACK_LIMIT and ADR_ACK_DELAY parameters. Byte Description 0x00 ADR_ACK_LIMIT value when running in Unconfirmed Mode. The default value is 64. 0x01 ADR_ACK_DELAY value when running in Unconfirmed Mode. The default value is 32. 0x02 ADR_ACK_LIMIT value when running in Confirmed Mode.

  • Page 18: Downlink Ack

    COMMON MESSAGES Downlink ACK The cloud app uses this downlink ACK message to verify the that sensor received the downlink message received and it was considered valid. The sensor replies to the downlink data with a 0xFF message (downlink ACK) with the payload shown in the following table.

  • Page 19: Chapter 5 - Sensor-Specific Messages

    SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES Chapter 5 – Sensor-Specific Messages Uplink Messages The following table shows sensor specific uplink messages (sensor to web application). Uplink messages common to all sensors are in the previous chapter. Button ID Event Payload Description 0x03 0x00 Button pressed 0x03 0x01 Button released...
  • Page 20 SENSOR-SPECIFIC MESSAGES Bits Description Blinks LED after message ACK is received (confirmed messages only). 0 means LED blinks after a device receives an ACK message ACK. 1 means LED doesn’t blink after a receiving an ACK message ACK. Does not apply to unconfirmed messages. Blinks LED after a send.
