Lobaro Pressure and Temperature Sensor
To read out the pressure & temperature probe, the Hybrid Modbus Gateway must be configured as follows:
Parameter | Value | Comment |
---|---|---|
WAN | lorawan | For LoRaWAN OTAA usage. |
PlFmt | 5 | Sets the payload to a short format. |
MbCmd | 0 0/5 * * * *:R,9600,8N1:010300160002,010300260002,fa0400050001 | Reads 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. |
PowerOnDelay | 1500 | Battery variant only. Sets time (in ms) between activating sensor power and reading value (time for sensor to be ready). |
Data Uplink (Port 20)
Bytes | 0 . | 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . | 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 . | 9 . 10 . | ------+--------+-----------------+-----------------+----------+ Field | Header | Pressure | Temperature | Voltage |
All values are encoded big-endian
Field | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
Header | uint8 | 0x00 on success, 0x80 if an error occurred |
Pressure | float32 | Pressure in mH2O , ffffffff on error. |
Temperature | float32 | Temperature in |
Voltage | uint16 | Voltage in mV, ffff on error |
Example
# 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.

Lobaro Pressure Sensor
Reading from the Lobaro Pressure Sensor using the Hybrid Gateway can be done by setting the following parameters in the configuration:
Parameter | Value | Comment |
---|---|---|
WAN | lorawan | For LoRaWAN OTAA usage. |
PlFmt | 5 | Sets the payload to a short format. |
MbCmd | 0 0/5 * * * *:R,9600,8N1:010300040001,fa0400040001,fa0400050001 | Reads the register 4 inside probe and 4 and 5 inside Bridge. fa0400050001 reads the battery voltage and is optional. The CRON Expressions can be adjusted to set time of sensor reading. |
PowerOnDelay | 1500 | Battery variant only. Sets time (in ms) between activating sensor power and reading value (time for sensor to be ready). |
