== 3.2 Connect to LoRaWAN Network? ==

147

148

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

149

150

151

== 3.3 Example to use for LoRaWAN network ==

152

153

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

154

155

* 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.

156

157

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:

158

159

160

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

== 3.4 Uplink Payload Analyze ==

202

203

Uplink payloads have two types:

204

205

* (((

206

Report temperature and humidity status normally: Use FPORT=2

207

)))

208

* (((

209

Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

210

)))

211

212

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

213

214

215

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

216

217

218

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

219

220

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

221

222

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

225

226

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

227

228

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

229

230

Take GPLP-3 as an example：

231

232

Uplink Payload totals 21 bytes.

For US915 frequency, when DR=0 and the payload length exceeds 11, the DR of this packet is switched to 1.

For AU915 frequency, when DR=2，Dwelltime=1 and the payload length exceeds 11, the DR of this packet is switched to 3.

352

Feature: Change the sensor delay time.

353

354

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.

355

356

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.

537

538

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.

541

=== 6.2.2 Replace the battery ===

543

(((

544

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).
