Light on/off WiFi SuperLocal
Light on/off WiFi SuperLocal is similar to the original mode as it detects light - a message is sent every time a predefined threshold (% of light detected) is crossed either way. Can be set up to detect a very low light percentage threshold - darkness and extreme darkness (useful for monitoring package opening at night). All mode-specific events are sent with up to 5 MAC pointers and their RSSI for very precise localization.

Hex value: 0x56
Use cases: Monitoring electricity usage, buildings, and rooms, detecting opening of packages, freezers, safeboxes, etc, and more
Devices that support this mode: SimplePack Plus
Required sensors: Light sensor, WiFi module
Mode-specific deltas:
Deltas are mode-specific register values different from register default values.

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.

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

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

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 Light on/off WiFi Precise messages:
To set this mode, the downlink needs to include this mode register setting: 0156
The uplink messages need to begin with the mode hex as the first byte: 56
When arming the device, you should see this message: 5610
When the device is armed, it should send you these two bytes: 5611
If you disarm the device via the long press, you should receive this message: 5614
