= 3. How to use? =

== 3.1 Connect to GroPoint Profile ==

129

130

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:

131

132

* Support RS485 Interface

133

* with M12 5pin connector.

134

135

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).

136

137

138

== 3.2 Connect to LoRaWAN Network? ==

139

140

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

141

142

143

== 3.3 Example to use for LoRaWAN network ==

144

145

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

146

147

* 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.

148

149

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:

150

151

152

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

153

154

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

== 3.4 Uplink Payload Analyze ==

194

195

Uplink payloads have two types:

196

197

* (((

198

Report temperature and humidity status normally: Use FPORT=2

199

)))

200

* (((

201

Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

202

)))

203

204

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

205

206

207

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

208

209

210

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

211

212

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

213

214

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

217

218

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

219

220

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

221

222

Take GPLP-3 as an example：

223

224

Uplink Payload totals 21 bytes.

344

Feature: Change the sensor delay time.

345

346

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.

347

348

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.

530

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.

533

=== 6.2.2 Replace the battery ===

535

(((

536

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).
