Reed switch on/off WiFi SuperLocal

Reed switch on/off WiFi SuperLocal is similar to the original mode as it sends a message when the reed contact is switched on by a magnet and also sends one when the sensor is switched off because the nearby magnetic field is no longer detected. All mode-specific events are sent with up to 5 MAC pointers and the respective RSSI for very precise localization.

Reed switch on/off WiFi SuperLocal

Hex value: 0x55

Use cases: Garage doors, warehouse doors, fridges, anything where reporting contact is important

Devices that support this mode: SimplePack Plus

Required sensors: Reed contact, WiFi module

Mode-specific deltas:

Deltas are mode-specific register values different from register default values.

Register (hex)	Default (hex)	Delta (hex)	Delta information
Sleep time (0x04)	1 minute (0x41)	12 seconds (0x0C)	Sleep time decreased
Reed detection delay (0x4B)	0 seconds (0x00)	5 seconds (0x05)	Detection delay active

Mode-specific events (uplink messages):

For more information on what uplink messages (mode-independent events) and additional data from various sensors in the device (appended payload) can be sent regardless of mode and how to fine-tune message behavior (alerts), see Mode-independent information and events.

Hex	Event name	Alert	Event information
0xC4	Reed on WiFi Precise	1	Reed switched on because of magnet presence, sent with 5 MAC pointers and RSSI
0xC5	Reed off WiFi Precise	2	Reed switched off because of magnet absence, sent with 5 MAC pointers and RSSI
0xFC	MAC storage readout	No	One pointer and its assigned MAC address sent

Registers relevant for this mode:

Hex	Register name	Default value (hex)
0x4B	Reed contact detection delay	0x00
0xFC	MAC storage eraser	No default value - After this register hex, you can send up to 7 MAC pointers (0x01-0x80) to the device and then the respective MAC addresses will be deleted from the internal MAC storage
0xFD	MAC storage reader	No default value - After this register hex, you can send up to 7 MAC pointers (0x01-0x80) to the device, the respective MAC addresses will be uplinked as the same number of 0xFC events

Similar modes:

Hex	Mode name	Description
0x0C	Reed on/off	Original version of Reed on/off, no WiFi
0x19	Reed on/off WiFi	Basic WiFi-enabled version of Reed on/off
0x37	Reed on/off WiFi Atlas	WiFi Atlas version of Reed on/off

Switching to mode, arming, and disarming information:

Follow the Basic Operations With SimpleHw Devices guide, where you can also find information about LED behavior, relevant Sigfox messages, and more.

Here’s what’s important for Reed on/off WiFi Precise messages:

• To set this mode, the downlink needs to include this mode register setting: 0155

• The uplink messages need to begin with the mode hex as the first byte: 55

• When arming the device, you should see this message: 5510

• When the device is armed, it should send you these two bytes: 5511

• If you disarm the device via the long press, you should receive this message: 5514
