API 6
one API for all new Simple Hardware devices (SimpleLeak, SimplePack Plus, SimpleIndustry, SimpleMeter)
easy to read, comprehend and parse in any IoT platform
support of stateless payload parsing
future proof and ready with full forward and backward compatibility both in downlink and uplink
new uplink and downlink mechanism
using simpleTime for all time definitions (from 1 second to 63 days) using just one byte
using simpleTemp for all temperature definitions (from -40°C to 87,5°C with 0,5°C resolution)
support for all new sensors
2 definable heartbeats with definable behaviour and additional payloads
message and heartbeat appendable information at defined fixed payload positions
support for Sigfox coverage confirmation
ready for logical operators via downlink on device side
ready for world time sync and world time timed alerts
totally configurable alerts (repetitions, actions, behaviour)
easy to understand and consistent LED blinking and beeping
global switch for muting and no LED indication
support for sending only 1 frame instead of 3 frames (you can now send 20 messages per hour)
myriads of other refinements and improvements
API 5 (LEGACY)
expands the modes to Don't drop me
heartbeat contains always temperature and voltage during transmission
temperature and voltage can be appended to all messages (exception is Monitor me)
switchable appending accelerometer values to all messages
very long press is detected at pressing for more than 6 seconds (prev. 10 secs)
switchable automatic arming after selectable inactivity period (exception is Monitor me, Trace me)
switchable sending of confirmation message on moment of arming (after departure delay)
switchable automatic disarm after alert
switchable disarm by long press
adjustable sampling interval in Monitor me mode (prev. 1 sec)
switchable button clickable and alerting even while other modes are running
switchable no downlink requested after alarm
non-linear timers for Arrival delay, Sleep time, Automatic arm time
API 4 (LEGACY)
expands the modes to Put me back and Monitor me
expands the payload definition
enables doubleclick, long press and extra long press (downlink request)
more configurability of heartbeat interval
arming can be done through downlink
heartbeat can request downlink and can arm/disarm
LED can be switched off
API 4 LED behavior:
LED light is slowly blinking to confirm successful downlink.
LED light is slowly blinking to confirm manual downlink request (button press for more than 10 seconds).
API 2 (LEGACY)
Modes: Press me, Guard me, Track me, Trace mode
