Does anyone know where I can get support for this as there are some fundamental flaws in the product. Namely it cannot support anything except a number output from a register and you cannot specify the length of the register value. It also doesn't allow you to see what message was sent to the device to read the register for debugging.

We're here to help! You can reach us at [email protected]. Regarding the output format and data, we've got you covered! The reason the output cannot be changed is because it is necessary to work with the decoder on the server to decode the correct information from the S2100 output data!

I am curious. Why the support team has no answer for the above Q placed by merrittholmes7? I am going to get one and if the above is the case it is a problem.
Thank you

And why can't the decode decode a normal string or different date formats. The product is not fit for purpose with these massive restrictions. The whole point is that you can log data from different devices and so it needs to be able to handle different types of strings, dates, numbers. On 10 Dec 2024 01:28, Zeke5579 ***@***.***> wrote: We're here to help!

LoRaWAN cannot directly transmit plain strings or varied date formats due to:

1. Bandwidth Limitations: Small payload sizes make lengthy data impractical.
2. Binary Payloads: LoRaWAN transmits binary data; encoding/decoding is required at the application layer.

Our pre-set data formats guarantee the reliability of information transmission. If you have a large number of data format customization needs, contact us at [email protected]. We will customize the data format you need within the framework of the Lorawan agreement.

[merrittholmes7]

Yes of course I understand how LoRaWAN works, but you can still encode an 8bit string or say a mac address into a LoRaWAN payload but its impossible to decode this with your device. Similarly, its impossible to decode timestamps. quite often the device id will be the payload. This is also impossible to decode as there is no string type available.

For your query, our devices just send the captured information to the gateway, which transfers the information to the platform and then decodes it, if you have a batch of devices that need to be loaded with specific information, we offer customization services to meet your needs.

[merrittholmes7]

The problem is that sometimes the captured Information is a string or a date and you have no way of decoding as an option. This is a product limitation which is very very basic. On 19 Dec 2024 03:35, Zeke5579 ***@***.***> wrote: For your query, our devices just send the captured information to the gateway, which transfers the information to the platform and then decodes it, if you have a batch of devices that need to be loaded with specific information, we offer customization services to meet your needs. —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you commented.Message ID: ***@***.***>

Thank you so much for your ideas! We'll absolutely take them into consideration during ours product development. Thank you so much for supporting our development and making suggestions!

Does the datalogger buffer measurements when offline, or does it discard measurements if there is no network?

[nfs0619]

Hello, the S2100 does not have a data buffering function. If the device is offline, measurements will not be stored and will be lost.
