== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

152

153

Uplink payloads include two types: Valid Sensor Value and other status / control command.

154

155

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

156

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

=== 2.4.1 Uplink FPORT ===

5, Device Status ===

Uplink the device configures with FPORT=5. Once WSC1-L Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server. After first uplink, WSC1-L will uplink Device Status every 12 hours

167

168

169

User can also use downlink command(0x2301) to ask WSC1-L to resend this uplink

1249

1250

WSS-07 photosynthetically active radiation sensor is mainly used to measure the photosynthetically active radiation of natural light in the wavelength range of 400-700nm.

1251

1252

1253

WSS-07 use precision optical detectors and has an optical filter of 400-700nm, when natural light is irradiated, a voltage signal proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation is generated, and its luminous flux density is proportional to the cosine of the direct angle of the incident light.

WSS-07 is designed to support the Dragino Weather station solution.

1258

1259

1260

Users only need to connect WSS-07 RS485 interface to WSC1-L. The weather station main

1261

1262

processor WSC1-L can detect and upload Photosynthetically Available Radiation to the IoT Server via wireless LoRaWAN protocol.
