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.

Light on/off WiFi SuperLocal

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.

Register (hex)	Default (hex)	Delta (hex)	Delta information
0x04	0x41	0x06	Sleep time decreased
0x36	0x00	0x05	Light detection on

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
0x60	Light detected WiFi Precise	1	Light % over predefined threshold, sent with 5 MAC pointers and RSSI
0x61	Darkness detected WiFi Precise	2	Light % under predefined threshold, 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)
0x36	Light sensor measurement period	0 seconds (0x00), delta: 5 seconds (0x05)
0x43	Light sensitivity hysteresis	5% of light (0x05)
0x44	Light sensitivity threshold	30% of light (0x1A)
0x4C	Light sensor detection delay	0 seconds (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
0x0D	Light on/off	Original version of Light on/off, no WiFi
0x1A	Light on/off WiFi	Basic WiFi-enabled version of Light on/off
0x3B	Light on/off WiFi Atlas	WiFi Atlas version of Light 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 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
