Reed switch on/off WiFi

Reed on/off WiFi 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 as no magnetic field is detected anymore. All mode-specific events are sent with 3 MAC addresses for better localisation precision.

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.

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

  • To set this mode, the downlink needs to include this mode register setting: 0119

  • The uplink messages need to begin with the mode hex as the first byte: 19

  • When arming the device, you should see this message: 1910

  • When the device is armed, it should send you these two bytes: 1911

  • If you disarm the device via long press, you should receive this message: 1914
