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 Press me messages:
To set this mode, the downlink needs to include this mode register setting: 0101
The uplink messages need to begin with the mode hex as the first byte: 01
Press me does not require arming or disarming. This means the device will not send the following events: 0x10 (Start of arming), 0x11 (End of arming), 0x14 (Disarmed by long press).
Guard me
Guard me sends messages once the object moves, vibrates or changes position. After the alert is sent, the device is inert for the duration of the sleep time to prevent draining the battery.
Because of the way the accelerometer works, the device will not detect movement perpendicular to the ground nor the pull of the Earth’s gravity (this means that e.g. the smooth opening of office doors would not be reported - use the Door mode for this use case).

Monitor me
1
Sends vibration data in 10 bytes of the payload*
*Each of the 10 bytes in the payload that come after mode and event (after 0580) represents a time window. One bit represents one second, one byte represents up to 255 seconds. The number you receive is the number of seconds in this time window (max 0xFF - 255) when vibration was detected by the device. This means you can determine the intensity of vibration in % in the given time interval.
The Monitor me uplink event is received after the payload is full. This means that in default settings, the first message will come after 42:30 minutes (10 bytes, 255 seconds each, total of 2550 seconds). This interval can be prolonged with register 0x3C (Accelerometer measurement interval) - the default setting is 1 second. E.g. two seconds would make this interval 42:30 x 2 = 85 minutes.

Please note this mode should not be used on boards with an opto pin (SimpleIndustry with 2 external sensors) because of accelerometer consumption. Please contact us at ask.simplehw.eu for more information.

Legionella mode
Please note that the Legionella mode is only available in the SimpleIndustry Legionella device as it is not included in the standard API 6 build due to its size.
This mode was created to monitor water pipes and prevent growth of Legionella pneumophila bacteria that cause the legionnaire’s disease. A device with two external NTC sensors measures temperature of the pipe(s) in two modes and reports the temperature periodically.
Hex value: 0x1D
Mode description: The device will send regular uplink messages with information from both external NTC sensors. The mode can define each NTC sensor as Hot or Cold (and you can also have Hot or Cold twice at the same time and without the other).
The mode is built around what we call a Flow. A Flow starts when the measured temperature increases or decreases by X °C (default is 2°C). During the Flow, temperature is monitored in a faster interval than when the temperature is in the original range. When the Flow ends, the device will return back to the original measuring interval. The device will record the lowest and the highest temperature during Flows from both NTCs (Flow1 and Flow2), the number of Flows for each sensor and the lowest and the highest temperature measured during the whole interval regardless of number of Flows.
In default settings, the regular message is sent every 24 hours.
Please note that the Legionella mode is only available in the SimpleIndustry Legionella device as it is not included in the standard API 6 build due to its size.
Use cases: Monitoring water systems to prevent bacterial growth
Devices that support this mode: SimpleIndustry Legionella
Required sensors: One or two external NTC probes
Mode-specific deltas: None

Hex value: 0x60
Use cases: Simple LED indication
Devices that support this mode: SimplePack and SimplePack Plus
Required sensors: Button, LED diode

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 Blinker messages:
To set this mode, the downlink needs to include this mode register setting: 0160
The uplink messages need to begin with the mode hex as the first byte: 60
Blinker does not require arming or disarming. This means the device will not send the following events: 0x10 (Start of arming), 0x11 (End of arming), 0x14 (Disarmed by long press).
Gas monitoring
Please note that the Gas monitoring mode is only available in the SimpleIndustry CH4 as it is not included in the standard API 6 build due to its size.
Monitors the concentration of gas regularly - reports 1) predefined gas threshold breaches (two thresholds available) and 2) periodic gas values (redundant data is configurable). Currently used for monitoring CH4.
Hex value: 0x65
Mode description: The mode has two ways to report messages with different triggers.
The first trigger is time, device will send a periodic message with 6 gas value records in ppm - each of the records is spaced by the gas monitoring period (0xA1) and the frequency of messages is defined by the aggregation (0xA0). Similar to the Periodic temperature independent event (only gas is monitored).
The second trigger is threshold breach. There are two configurable thresholds A (0xA2) and B (0xA3). Whenever a threshold is breached either way (up or down), the device sends a different event. Similar to the Temperature threshold alert mode (only gas is monitored). Requires gas monitoring period (0xA1) to be defined.
Use cases: Monitoring the presence of CH4 gas
Devices that support this mode: SimpleIndustry CH4
Required sensors: CH4 sensor
Mode-specific deltas: None
Uplink messages (events) used in this mode:
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 finetune message behavior (alerts), see Mode-independent information and events.

*values 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x06, if the MSB is 1 (e.g. 0x81 or 0x86), the device will calibrate the sensor. This must be done in fresh air and the value of register 0xA0 will then turn the MSB back to value 0 after calibration is done (e.g. from 0x86 to 0x06). Calibration only works when the device is armed.
**value x 100 = value in ppm

Switching to mode, arming and disarming information:
Follow the general step-by-step guide for switching modes, arming and disarming for for all devices, where you can also find information about LED behavior and relevant Sigfox messages.
Here’s what’s important for Gas monitoring messages:
To set this mode, the downlink needs to include this mode register setting: 0165
The uplink messages need to begin with the mode hex as the first byte: 65
When arming the device, you should see this message: 0165
When the device is armed, it should send you these two bytes: 0165
If you disarm the device via long press, you should receive this message: 0165
Battery consumption: Based on the number of messages sent.
The SimplePack Plus would last at least years (30 000+ messages).
Stupid mode 1 (only 2 MAC addresses)
Sends 2 MAC addresses regularly in a predefined period. Precise localisation with an emphasis on using as little battery life as possible as the MACs are sent in one message.
Hex value: 0x12
Use cases: Simple WiFi tracking, tracing, keep-alive heartbeats, localisation in general
Devices that support this mode: SimplePack Plus
Required sensors: WiFi module

Uplink messages (events) used in this mode:
This mode does not send the mode, event and mask bytes as usual. In default settings, the only payload you’ll receive are two 6-byte MAC addresses in one message (max uplink payload) - similar to Atlas WiFi user modes without the mode+event uplink message.
