5.   Data Report

**** After the device is powered, it will immediately send a version package and an attribute report data that reports the current status of the object and the raw data of infrared range.

The device sends data according to the default configuration before any other configuring.

Default Setting

Maximum time: 3600s
Minimum time: 3600s (By default, the current is detected every Min Time.) Battery: 0x01 (0.1V)
On Distance Threshold :0xC409 little-endian (2500)

• Distance Threshold value is used little-endian;

When you need configure distance threshold default setting, please change to little-endian, for example 2500(Hex) =9C4(Dec) is big-endian and 0xC409 is little-endian

Note:

1. The cycle of the device sending the data report is according to the
2. The interval between two reports must be the Min Time.
3. If there are special customized shipments, the settings will be changed according to customer’s

The device reported data parsing please refer to

Netvox Lora WAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver

http://loraresolver.netvoxcloud.com:8888/page/index

Determining the status of the object

• The raw data of detection of infrared ranging is greater than the On Distance Threshold parameter setting value, the status would be 1, indicating the presence of the
• The raw data of detection of infrared ranging is smaller than the On Distance Threshold parameter setting value, the status would be 0, indicating the absence of the object

Threshold setting instructions

1. First of all, fix the location of the
2. When first detection appears no object, the device detects RawSenseData (infrared ranging data), assuming A (2400)
3. Then detect again appears there is object, the device detects RawSenseData (infrared ranging data), assuming B (4000)
4. The range of Threshold(X) is set: A（2400）< X < B（4000）, it would recommend to take a value in the middle of range.

Note：

The RawSenseData value has no unit and is a signal value of a distance. The closer the device is to the detected object, the larger the value; The farther the device is to the detected object, the smaller the value.

Example#1 based on MinTime = 1 Hour, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. Battery Voltage Change=0.1V

Note: MaxTime=MinTime. Data will only be report according to MaxTime (MinTime) duration regardless Battery Voltage Change value.

Example#2 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. Battery Voltage Change= 0.1V.

Example#3 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, Reportable Change i.e. Battery Voltage Change= 0.1V.

Notes:

• The device only wakes up and performs data sampling according to MinTime When it is sleeping, it does not collect data.
• The data collected is compared with the last data reported. If the data change value is greater than the Reportable Change value, the device reports according to MinTime interval. If the data variation is not greater than the last data reported, the device reports according to MaxTime
• We do not recommend to set the MinTime Interval value too If the MinTime Interval is too low, the device wakes up frequently and the battery will be drained soon.
• Whenever the device sends a report, no matter resulting from data variation, button pushed or MaxTime interval, another cycle of MinTime / MaxTime calculation is
