Don’t drop me WiFi SuperLocal

Don’t drop me WiFi SuperLocal behaves similarly to Guard me WiFi SuperLocal (just like the original Don’t drop me is similar to Guard me) except for its event (uplink message) is triggered by a faster acceleration of the accelerometer in one of its axis and not just movement detection. Drop alert detection threshold can be defined and the mode-specific event is sent with up to 5 MAC pointers and the respective RSSI for very precise localization.

Don't drop me WiFi SuperLocal

Hex value: 0x54

Use cases: Monitoring packages inside trucks, shipping containers, and more

Devices that support this mode: SimplePack Plus

Required sensors: Accelerometer, WiFi module

Mode-specific deltas: None

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.

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 Don’t drop me WiFi Precise messages:

  • To set this mode, the downlink needs to include this mode register setting: 0154

  • The uplink messages need to begin with the mode hex as the first byte: 54

  • When arming the device, you should see this message: 5410

  • When the device is armed, it should send you these two bytes: 5411

  • If you disarm the device via the long press, you should receive this message: 5414
