1.6 BLE connection

CO2-LE supports BLE remote configure.

BLE can be used to configure the parameter of CO2-LE or see the console output from CO2-LE. BLE will be only activate on below case:

  • Press button to send an uplink.
  • Press button to active CO2-LE.
  • Device Power on or reset.

If there is no activity connection on BLE in 60 seconds, CO2-LE will shut down BLE module to enter low power mode.

2. Configure CO2-LE to connect to LoRaWAN network

2.1 How it works

The CO2-LE is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join LoRaWAN network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, you need to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and press the button to activate the CO2-LE. It will automatically join the network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value. The default uplink interval is 20 minutes.

2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA)

Following is an example for how to join the TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network. Below is the network structure; we use the LPS8v2 as a LoRaWAN gateway in this example.

The LPS8V2 is already set to connected to TTN network , so what we need to now is configure the TTN server.

2.4 Payload Decoder file

In TTN, user can add a custom payload so it shows friendly reading

In the page Applications --> Payload Formats --> Custom --> decoder to add the decoder from:

https://github.com/dragino/dragino-end-node-decoder/tree/main

2.5 Datalog Feature

Datalog Feature is to ensure IoT Server can get all sampling data from Sensor even if the LoRaWAN network is down. For each sampling, CO2-LE will store the reading for future retrieving purposes.

2.5.1 How datalog works

CO2-LE will wait for ACK for every uplink, when there is no LoRaWAN network,CO2-LE will mark these records with non-ack messages and store the sensor data, and it will send all messages (10s interval) after the network recovery.

  • a) CO2-LE will do an ACK check for data records sending to make sure every data arrive server.

  • b) CO2-LE will send data in CONFIRMED Mode, but CO2-LE won't re-transmit the packet if it doesn't get ACK, it will just mark it as a NONE-ACK message. In a future uplink if CO2-LE gets a ACK, CO2-LE will consider there is a network connection and resend all NONE-ACK messages.

2.5.2 Enable Datalog

User need to make sure below two settings are enable to use datalog;

  • SYNCMOD=1(Default) to enable sync time via LoRaWAN MAC command, click here (AT+SYNCMOD) for detailed instructions.
  • **PNACKMD=1 **to enable datalog feature, click here (AT+PNACKMD) for detailed instructions.

Once CO2-LE Joined LoRaWAN network, it will send the MAC command (DeviceTimeReq) and the server will reply with (DeviceTimeAns) to send the current time to CO2-LE. If CO2-LE fails to get the time from the server, CO2-LE will use the internal time and wait for next time request (AT+SYNCTDC to set the time request period, default is 10 days).

Note: LoRaWAN Server need to support LoRaWAN v1.0.3(MAC v1.0.3) or higher to support this MAC command feature, Chirpstack,TTN V3 v3 and loriot support but TTN V3 v2 doesn't support. If server doesn't support this command, it will through away uplink packet with this command, so user will lose the packet with time request for TTN V3 v2 if SYNCMOD=1.

2.5.3 Unix TimeStamp

CO2-LE uses Unix TimeStamp format based on

image-20250401140013-5.jpeg

User can get this time from link: https://www.epochconverter.com/ :

Below is the converter example

image-20250401140025-6.jpeg

So, we can use AT+TIMESTAMP=1611889405 or downlink 3060137afd00 to set the current time 2021 – Jan -- 29 Friday 03:03:25

The Datalog uplinks will use below payload format.

Poll message flag

Unix Time Stamp

Poll message flag :

image-20240112095124-3.png

No ACK Message: 1: This message means this payload is fromn Uplink Message which doesn't get ACK from the server before ( for PNACKMD=1 feature)

Poll Message Flag: 1: This message is a poll message reply.

  • Poll Message Flag is set to 1.

  • Each data entry is 11 bytes, to save airtime and battery, devices will send max bytes according to the current DR and Frequency bands.

For example, in US915 band, the max payload for different DR is:

a) DR0: max is 11 bytes so one entry of data

b) DR1: max is 53 bytes so devices will upload 4 entries of data (total 44 bytes)

c) DR2: total payload includes 11 entries of data

d) DR3: total payload includes 22 entries of data.

If devise doesn't have any data in the polling time. Device will uplink 11 bytes of 0

Example:

If CO2-LE has below data inside Flash:

image-20240112095403-4.png

If user sends below downlink command: 3165A010F865A015E405

Where : Start time: 65A010F8 = time 24/1/11 16:02:00

Stop time: 65A015E4 = time 24/1/11 16:23:00

CO2-LE will uplink this payload.

Where the first 11 bytes is for the first entry: 01 E4 01 A4 00 F1 40 65 A0 11 2E

  • CO2=0x01E4=484 ppm
  • Hum=0x01A4/10=42 %
  • Temp=0x00F1/10=24.1 ℃
  • **poll message flag **=0x40,means reply data,sampling uplink message.
  • Unix time is 0x65A0112E=1704888040s=24/1/11 16:02:54

2.6 Frequency Plans

3. Configure CO2-LE

3.1 Configure Methods

CO2-LE supports below configure method:

3.2 General Commands

These commands are to configure:

  • General system settings like: uplink interval.
  • LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

They are same for all Dragino Devices which support DLWS-005 LoRaWAN Stack. These commands can be found on the wiki: AT Commands

3.3 Commands special design for CO2-LE

These commands only valid for CO2-LE, as below:

3.3.1 Set Transmit Interval Time

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

AT Command: AT+TDC

Command ExampleFunctionResponse
AT+TDC=?Show current transmit Interval

30000
OK
the interval is 30000ms = 30s

AT+TDC=60000Set Transmit Interval

OK
Set transmit interval to 60000ms = 60 seconds

Downlink Command: 0x01

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

If the downlink payload=0100003C, it means set the END Node's Transmit Interval to 0x00003C=60(S), while type code is 01.

  • Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0100001E // Set Transmit Interval (TDC) = 30 seconds
  • Example 2: Downlink Payload: 0100003C // Set Transmit Interval (TDC) = 60 seconds

3.3.2 Get Device Status

Send a LoRaWAN downlink to ask device send Alarm settings.

Downlink Payload: 0x26 01

Sensor will upload Device Status via FPORT=5. See payload section for detail.

3.3.3 Set Temperature Alarm Threshold

  • AT Command:AT+TEMPALARM=min,max (Among them, 100 is an invalid value, which means not set)

  • When min=100, and max≠100, Alarm higher than max

  • When min≠100, and max=100, Alarm lower than min

  • When min≠100 and max≠100, Alarm higher than max or lower than min

Example:

AT+TEMPALARM=100,30 // Alarm when temperature higher than 30.

  • Downlink Payload:0x(0C 01 64 1E) // Set AT+TEMPALARM=100,30

(note: 3rd byte= 0x64 for low limit(not set), 4th byte = 0x1E for high limit: 30)

3.3.4 Set CO2 Alarm Threshold

The CO2 alarm function detects CO2 once every minute, so it consumes more power.

  • AT Command:AT+CO2ALARM=min,max (Among them, 0 is an invalid value, which means not set)

  • When min=0, and max≠0, Alarm higher than max

  • When min≠0, and max=0, Alarm lower than min

  • When min≠0 and max≠0, Alarm higher than max or lower than min

Example:

AT+CO2ALARM=400,0 // Alarm when humidity lower than 400.

  • Downlink Payload:0x(0C 02 01 90 00 00) // Set AT+CO2ALARM=400,0

(note: 3rd byte+4rd byte= 0x0190 for low limit (400ppm), 5th byte+6rd byte = 0x00 for high limit (not set))

3.3.5 Set Alarm Interval

The shortest time of two Alarm packet. (unit: min)

  • AT Command:AT+ATDC=20 // The shortest interval of two Alarm packets is 20 minutes, Means if there is an alarm packet uplink, there won't be another one in the next 20 minutes.

  • **Downlink Payload:0x(0D 14)---> ** Set AT+ATDC=0x 14 = 20 minutes

3.3.6 Set Pressure resolution

Set the pressure resolution.

  • AT Command:AT+PRESSACC=1 // The pressure resolution is 10 Pa.

  • **Downlink Payload:0x(10 01)---> ** Set AT+PRESSACC=1

**0x(10 00)---> ** Set AT+PRESSACC=0

3.3.7 Set Time Sync Mode

Feature: Enable/Disable Sync system time via LoRaWAN MAC Command (DeviceTimeReq), LoRaWAN server must support v1.0.3 protocol to reply to this command.

SYNCMOD is set to 1 by default. If user wants to set a different time from the LoRaWAN server, the user needs to set this to 0.

AT Command:

Command ExampleFunctionResponse

AT+SYNCMOD=1

Enable Sync system time via LoRaWAN MAC Command (DeviceTimeReq) The default is zero time zone.

OK

AT+SYNCMOD=1,8

Enable Sync system time via LoRaWAN MAC Command (DeviceTimeReq) Set to East eight time zone.

OK

AT+SYNCMOD=1,-12Enable Sync system time via LoRaWAN MAC Command (DeviceTimeReq) Set to West Twelve Time Zone.OK

Downlink Command:

0x28 01 // Same As AT+SYNCMOD=1

0x28 01 08 // Same As AT+SYNCMOD=1,8

OK

AT+PNACKMD=0off request the server to send an ACK

0
OK

Downlink Command: 0x34

0X34 01 // Same As AT+PNACKMD=1

0x34 00 // Same As AT+PNACKMD=0

3.4 Calibration command

Note: If the device is not calibrated for the first time, there will be a certain degree of drift.After the FDR is restored to factory settings or the device battery is replaced, the original calibration values will be lost and recalibration will be required.

After having performed the calibration,all following measurements will use the adjusted calibration parameters.

3.4.1 Restore factory Calibration (AT+CALCMD=0)

Restores calibration parameters factory calibration values.

**Downlink Payload:**0x0F 00

3.4.2 Forced ABC Calibration (AT+CALCMD=1)

Sensor will perform an ABC calibration after receiving this command if sensor has valid ABC data.The command can be used if one for some reason wants to do an ABC adjustment before one ABC period has passed(when a normal ABC calibration is done).

**Downlink Payload:**0x0F 01

3.4.3 Target Calibration (AT+CALCMD=2 Equivalent to AT+CALCMD=2,400)

Target concentration calibration assumes that sensor is put into a target environment with a known CO2 concentration. Such as outdoor fresh air 400ppm.

**Downlink Payload:**0x0F 02 ==> AT+CALCMD=2

0x0F 02 01 90 ==> AT+CALCMD=2,400

0x0F 02 01 F4 ==> AT+CALCMD=2,500

3.4.4 Background Calibration (AT+CALCMD=3)

A “fresh air” baseline environment is by default 400 ppm at normal ambient atmospheric pressure by sea level. It can be referenced in a crude way by placing the sensor in direct proximity to outdoor air, free of combustion sources and human presence, preferably during either by open window or fresh air inlets or similar. Calibration gas by exactly 400ppm can be purchased and used. Background calibration and ABC calibration share the same target value (fresh air = 400ppm).

**Downlink Payload:**0x0F 03

3.4.5 Zero Calibration (AT+CALCMD=4)

Zero-calibrations are the most accurate recalibration routine. A zero-ppm environment is most easily created by flushing the optical cell of the sensor module and filling up an encapsulating enclosure with nitrogen gas, N2, displacing all previous air volume concentrations. Another less reliable or accurate zero reference point can be created by scrubbing an airflow using e.g. Soda lime.

**Downlink Payload:**0x0F 04

3.5 calibration mode

3.5.1 Enabled ABC Calibration (AT+CALMOD=1, default)

The Automatic Baseline Correction algorithm is a proprietary Senseair method for referencing to “fresh air” as the lowest, but required stable, CO2-equivalent internal signal the sensor has measured during a set time period. This time period by default is 180hrs as to catch low-occupancy and other lower-emission time periods and favourable outdoor wind-directions and similar which can plausibly and routinely expose the sensor to the most true fresh air environment. If such an environment can never be expected to occur, either by sensor locality or ever-presence of CO2 emission sources, or exposure to even lower concentrations than the natural fresh air baseline, then ABC recalibration can’t be used. In each new measurement period, the sensor will compare it to the stored one at the ABC parameters registers, and if new values show a lower CO2-equivalent raw signal while also in a stable environment, the reference is updated with these new values. The ABC algorithm also has a limit on how much it is allowed to change the baseline correction offset with, per each ABC cycle, meaning that self-calibrating to adjust to bigger drifts or signal changes may take more than one ABC cycle.

**Downlink Payload:**0x0E 01

3.5.2 Disabled ABC Calibration (AT+CALMOD=0)

If the device is in a greenhouse or enclosed environment, it is recommended to turn off ABC calibration. And use Target Calibration for calibration.

**Downlink Payload:**0x0E 00

3.5.3 Button CO2 calibration function (Equivalent to AT+CALCMD=3)

The first step is to put your device into sleep mode. Press the button five times quickly and the device will light up solid red for 5 seconds.

In the second step, take the device outside to an environment without combustion sources and people, let it sit for a few minutes, and then press the button three times quickly. The calibration is complete after the blue light stays on for 5 seconds.

The last step is to reset the device, press and hold the button until the green light flashes.
