LoRa Wireless Technology:

LoRa is a wireless communication technology famous for its long-distance transmission and low power consumption. Compared with other communication methods, LoRa spread spectrum modulation technique greatly extend the communication distance. It can be widely used in any use case that requires long-distance and low-data wireless communications. For example, automatic meter reading, building automation equipment, wireless security systems, industrial monitoring. It has features like small size, low power consumption, long transmission distance, strong anti-interference ability and so on.

LoRaWAN:

LoRaWAN uses LoRa technology to define end-to-end standard specifications to ensure interoperability between devices and gateways from different manufacturers.

Operation

Data Report

The device will immediately send a version packet report along with two uplink packets including ON/OFF status, energy, over current alarm, power off alarm, voltage, current and power. The device sends data in the default configuration before any configuration is done.

Default setting:

• MaxTime: Max Interval = 900s (15 min)
• MinTime: Min Interval = 2 s
• Current Change: 0x0064 (100mA)
• Power Change: 0x14 (20W)

Note:

•  The device reports the ON/OFF status, energy, over current alarm and power off alarm first, and after 10 seconds reports the voltage, current and power.
•  When happened the over-current alarm, it will disconnect the load and the network indicator will quickly flash about 25 times.
•  Short press the switch or receive the switch command: The device will be reported immediately.
• Please refer Netvox LoRaWAN Application Command document and Netvox Lora Command Resolver http://loraresolver.netvoxcloud.com:8888/page/index to resolve uplink data

Data report configuration and sending period are as following:

Example for MinTime/MaxTime logic

Example#1 based on MinTime = 1 Hour, MaxTime= 1 Hour, PowerChange=2W

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

Example#2 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, PowerChange=2W

Example#3 based on MinTime = 15 Minutes, MaxTime= 1 Hour, PowerChange=2W

Remarks:

• Compare the collected data with the last reported data. If the amount of data change is greater than ReportableChange, the device will report based on the MinTime interval. If the data change is not greater than the last reported data, the device will report based on the MaxTime interval.
•  For the energy consumption detection device, because the device is a constant power supply device, it is not recommended to set the MinTime interval value too high in order to obtain the status information in real time. It is recommended to use the default 2 seconds. If users need to control frequent report recommendations to adjust ReportableChange and MaxTime.
•  After the device sends a packet (regardless of whether the data has changed, such as pressing a button or the maximum time is due), another MinTime / MaxTime calculation cycle is initiated.
