Lobaro Pressure and Temperature Sensor

To read out the pressure & temperature probe, the Hybrid Modbus Gateway must be configured as follows:

ParameterValueComment
WANlorawanFor LoRaWAN OTAA usage.
PlFmt5Sets the payload to a short format.
MbCmd0 0/5 * * * *:R,9600,8N1:010300160002,010300260002,fa0400050001Reads the Registers 22-23, 34-35 and internal Register 5. fa0400050001 reads the battery voltage and is optional. The CRON Expressions can be adjusted to set time of sensor reading.
PowerOnDelay1500Battery variant only. Sets time (in ms) between activating sensor power and reading value (time for sensor to be ready).

Example

Code Block
# Example of a successful measurement
'003d94ce4541b7a5120e2a'
  '00'       -> Successful readout
  '3d94ce45' -> 0.073 mH2O
  '41b7a512' -> 22.96 °C
  '0e2a'     -> 3626 mV / 3.626 V

# Example
'80ffffffffffffffff'
  '80'       -> An error occurred.
  'ffffffff' -> Pressure could not be read.
  'ffffffff' -> Temperature could not be read.
  'ffff'     -> Voltage could not be read.
