Lobaro Pressure Sensor

Reading from the Lobaro Pressure Sensor using the Hybrid Gateway can be done by setting the following parameters in the configuration:

ParamterValueComment
PlFmt5Sets the payload to a short format
MbCmd0 0/5 * * * *:R,9600,8N1:010300020003Reads the Registers 2 to 5, the cron can be changed

Sample upload from the Gateway:

0x000x00 0x070x00 0x030x02 0x11
Header, see main documentationUnit is mH2O3 decimals precisionCurrent Value

The Value is transmitted as 16 bit signed int in Big Endian format with 3 decimals presicion.

The sample hex value of 0x0211 translates to 529 decimal. Considering the 3 decimals precision the value is 0,529 mH2O.
