== 3.4 Uplink Payload Analyze ==

215

216

Uplink payloads have two types:

217

218

* (((

219

Report temperature and humidity status normally: Use FPORT=2

220

)))

221

* (((

222

Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

223

)))

224

225

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

226

227

228

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

229

230

231

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

232

233

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

234

235

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

239

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

240

241

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

242

243

Take GPLP-3 as an example：

244

245

Uplink Payload totals 21 bytes.

365

Feature: Change the sensor delay time.

366

367

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.

368

369

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.

=== 6.2.1 Battery Note ===

550

551

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.

552

553

554

=== 6.2.2 Replace the battery ===

555

556

(((

557

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).
