1764899743192-770.png

By default, Sensor will send uplinks every 2 hours

User can use below commands to change the uplink interval.

**AT Command: AT+TDC **

Example: AT+TDC=7200 // Set Update Interval to 7200 seconds

Downlink Commands: 0x01

Format: Command Code (0x01) followed by 3 bytes.

Example: 12 hours= 43200 seconds 43200(D)=0xA8C0(H)

Downlink Payload: `01 00 A8 C0` // AT+TDC=43200, Set Update Interval to 12 hours.

Note: User can also push the button for more than 1 seconds to activate an uplink.

2.4 Set Alarm Distance

On each sampling define by AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,15,8 ( default 15 minutes), when the value exceed the range, it will trigger an Alarm and immediately sends a uplink.

AT command: AT+ALARM1

AT+ALARM=AA,BB

  • AA: Dec value for Alarm low threshold, BB: Dec value for Alarm high threshold
  • When 0xAA=0, and 0xBB≠0, Alarm trigger when higher than max
  • When 0xAA≠0, and 0xBB =0xFFFF, Alarm trigger when lower than min
  • When 0xAA≠0 and 0xBB≠0, Alarm trigger when higher than max or lower than min

Example:

AT+ALARM1=100,200 // For diatance 1, alarm when < 100 or higher than 200.(Min:50cm, Max:2000cm)

Downlink command: 0x08

Format: Command Code (0x08) followed by 8 bytes. The first 4 bytes after 08 are set to the limit range of distance 1, and the last 4 bytes after 08 are set to the limit range of distance 2.

**Example: **

Downlink Payload: ** 08 00 64 00 C8 00 C8 01 2C ** // AT+ALARM1=100,200 & AT+ALARM2=200,300

Downlink Payload: 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00// AT+ALARM1=0,0 & AT+ALARM2=0,0 Distance 1 and Distance 2 alarms are not enabled.

2.5 Set Interrupt Mode(0x06)

Feature, Set Interrupt mode for GPIO_EXTI.

AT Command: AT+INTMOD

Command ExampleFunctionResponse
AT+INTMOD=?Show current interrupt mode0
OK
the mode is 0 = No interruption
AT+INTMOD=2Set Transmit Interval
(Disable Interrupt),
(Trigger by rising and falling edge)
(Trigger by falling edge)
(Trigger by rising edge)
OK

Downlink Command: 0x06

Format: Command Code (0x06) followed by 3 bytes.

This means that the interrupt mode of the end node is set to 0x000003=3 (rising edge trigger), and the type code is 06.

Example 1: Downlink Payload: 06000000 // Turn off interrupt mode

Example 2: Downlink Payload: 06000003 // Set the interrupt mode to rising edge trigger

2.6 Clock logging

Sometimes when we deploy lots of end nodes in field. We want all sensors sample data at the same time, and upload these data together for analyze. In such case, we can use clock loging feature.

We can use this command to set the start time of data recording and the time interval to meet the requirements of the specific collection time of data.

  • AT Command: AT+CLOCKLOG=a,b,c,d

a: 0: Disable Clock logging. ** 1: **Enable Clock Logging

**b: **Specify First sampling start second: range **(0 ~ 3599, 65535) ** // **Note: **If parameter b is set to 65535, the log period starts after the node accesses the network and sends packets.

**c: **Specify the sampling interval: range (0 ~ 255 minutes)

**d: **How many entries should be uplink on every TDC (max 32)

Note: To disable clock recording, set the following parameters: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,0,0

image-20240315141254-1.png

Example:

AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,1,5

After the node sends the first packet, data is recorded to the memory at intervals of 1 minute. For each TDC uplink, the uplink load will include: battery information + the last 5 memory records (payload + timestamp).

image-20240315164601-1.png

Note: Users need to synchronize the server time before configuring this command. If the server time is not synchronized before this command is configured, the command takes effect only after the node is reset.

  • Downlink command: 0x0A

Format: Command Code (0x0A) followed by 5 bytes.

  • Example 1: Downlink Payload:** 0A01FFFF0F08** // Set SHT record time: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,65535,15,8
  • Example 1: Downlink Payload:** 0A0104B00F08** // Set SHT record time: AT+CLOCKLOG=1,1200,15,8

Note: When entering the downlink payload, there must be no Spaces between bytes.

AT command: AT+BKDNS

Command ExampleFunction/ParametersResponse/Explanation
AT+BKDNS=?Get current Settings0,0,NULL (default)
OK

AT+BKDNS=a,b,c
a: Enable/Disable dynamic domain name resolution.1: Disable dynamic domain name update. The ip address will be saved after the domain name is resolved, if the next domain name resolution fails, the last saved ip address will be used.
2: Enable dynamic domain name update. The ip address will be saved after domain name resolution, if the next domain name resolution fails, the last saved ip address will be used, and the domain name resolution will be updated regularly according to the time set by the customer.
b: Set the time to update the domain name resolution at regular intervals.Unit: hour
c: Set the IP address manually.The format is the same as AT+SERVADDR.
If domain name resolution fails, this ip address will be used directly, if domain name resolution succeeds, parameter c will be updated to the successfully resolved IP address.

Example:

  • AT+BKDNS=1,0 // Dynamic domain name resolution is disabled.
  • AT+BKDNS=2,1 // The dynamic domain name resolution function is enabled and the automatic update time is set to 1 hour.
  • AT+BKDNS=2,4,3.69.98.183,1883 // The dynamic domain name resolution function is enabled and the automatic update time is set to 4 hour, and manually set the ip address, if the domain name failed to resolve, it will directly use this ip to communicate. When the next domain name resolution is successful, it will be updated to the ip address of the successful resolution.

2.15 Calibration Command

Feature: When data deviates from the reference standard, users can reduce display errors by adjusting the"correction value."The correction value can be modified within the range of 0-1000. For example, if the displayed value is 100 units too low, we can correct it by adding 100 to the sampled data using this command: 01 06 00 6B 00 64 F9 FD. In the command, 100 corresponds to hexadecimal 0x64. To reduce the value, set a negative number, such as -100, which corresponds to hexadecimal FF 9C. The calculation is 100 - 65535 = 65435, converted to hexadecimal as 0x FF 9C.

AT Command:
