== 1.1 What is GroPoint Air ==

30

31

32

The Dragino GroPoint is a (% style="color:blue" %)**LoRaWAN Multi Soil Segment Converter**(%%) for IoT of Agriculture. It is designed to connect to [[GroPoint Profile Multi-depth Soil moisture and temperature profile Sensor>>url:https://www.gropoint.com/products/soil-sensors/gropoint-profile]] and get GroPoint Profile’s reading and send it to IoT server via LoRaWAN wireless network.

33

34

(% style="color:blue" %)**GroPoint Profile is plug-and-play with GroPoint Air**(%%) to get soil moisture and send via wireless. GroPoint Profile is powered by GroPoint Air, (% style="color:blue" %)**no need external power source**(%%).

35

36

The LoRa wireless technology used in GroPoint Air allows devices to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption.

37

38

GroPoint Air is powered by (% style="color:blue" %)**an 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery**(%%), it is designed for long-term use for up to 5 years.

39

40

Each GroPoint Air is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registrations, register these keys to the local LoRaWAN server and it will auto-connect after power on.

= 3. How to use? =

== 3.1 Connect to GroPoint Profile ==

104

105

GroPoint Air must be used with [[GroPoint Profile>>https://www.gropoint.com/products/soil-sensors/gropoint-profile]]. There are different interface model from GroPoint, users need to choose the one:

106

107

* Support RS485 Interface

108

* with M12 5pin connector.

109

110

Such model in GroPoint Profile is: (% style="color:blue" %)**2625-N-T-x-M-M **(%%)(Where x is different depending on how many levels it detects).

111

112

113

== 3.2 Connect to LoRaWAN Network? ==

114

115

Each GroPoint Air is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA keys. To use GroPoint Air in a LoRaWAN network, user needs to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN network server. So GroPoint Air can join the LoRaWAN network and start to transmit sensor data

116

117

118

== 3.3 Example to use for LoRaWAN network ==

119

120

This section shows an example of how to join the TTN V3 LoRaWAN IoT server. Usages with other LoRaWAN IoT servers are similar.

121

122

* In this use case, the GroPoint Air measures soil moisture and temperature and sends the status to the LoRaWAN server.The GroPoint Air will uplink different types of messages to the LoRaWAN server. See [[Uplink payload>>||anchor="H3.4A0UplinkPayloadAnalyze"]] for detail.

123

124

Assume the DLOS8 is already set to connect to the [[TTN V3 network >>url:https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/]]. We need to add the GroPoint Air device in TTN V3:

125

126

127

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 1**(%%): Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from GroPoint Air.

128

129

Each GroPoint Air is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

== 3.4 Uplink Payload Analyze ==

169

170

Uplink payloads have two types:

171

172

* (((

173

Report temperature and humidity status normally: Use FPORT=2

174

)))

175

* (((

176

Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

177

)))

178

179

The application server should parse the correct value based on FPORT settings.

180

181

182

== 3.5 temperature and humidity Value, Uplink FPORT~=2 ==

183

184

185

GroPoint Air will send this uplink after Device Status once join the LoRaWAN network successfully. And GroPoint Air will:

186

187

periodically send this uplink every 20 minutes, this interval can be changed.

188

189

The drawing below shows the probe dimensions of the 2-8 segment probes, Temperature sen sor locations provided in table below:

192

193

GroPoint Air's sensors come in six models: GPLP-2，GPLP-3，GPLP-4，GPLP-5，GPLP-6，GPLP-8.

194

195

The amount of temperature and humidity is different for each model, so the payload of each model is different.

196

197

Take GPLP-3 as an example：

198

199

Uplink Payload totals 21 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.

== 4.3 Set the sensor delay time ==

319

320

Feature: Change the sensor delay time.

321

322

There are six models of GroPoint Air, and each model returns a different number of temperature and humidity. The more bytes of the returned value, the longer the delay. The AT+SDELAY command can adjust the time that the sensor returns data to the node, and can adjust different delays according to different types of sensors.

323

324

The default delay is 1000ms.

GroPoint Air is equipped with a [[8500mAH ER26500 Li-SOCI2 battery>>url:https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=datasheet/Battery/ER26500/]]. The battery is an un-rechargeable battery with a low discharge rate targeting more than 5 years use. This type of battery is commonly used in IoT targets for long-term running, such as water meters.

The discharge curve is not linear so can’t simply use percentage to show the battery level. Below is the battery performance.

515

516

The Li-SICO battery is designed for small current / long period applications. It is not good to use a high current, short period transmit method. The recommended minimum period for use of this battery is 5 minutes. If you use a shorter period to transmit LoRa, then the battery life may be decreased.

=== 6.2.2 Replace the battery ===

522

You can change the battery in GroPoint Air. The type of battery is not limited as long as the output is between 3v to 3.6v.

)))

(((

The default battery pack of GroPoint Air includes a ER26500 plus supercapacitor. If users can’t find this pack locally, they can find ER26500 or equivalence, which will also work in most cases. The SPC can enlarge the battery life for high-frequency use (update period below 5 minutes).
