Interface documentation

  • Regional LoRaWAN plan, OTAA onboarding and payload decoder
  • Documented full, empty, tilt, location and alarm payload fields
  • Use a different unit or gateway path when NB-IoT or 4G fill-level telemetry is required
  • Keep NH3 or odour sensing on a separate 12-24 VDC RS485 Modbus RTU instrument and state the battery-service assumptions

Quote inputs

  • Bin type, mounting point, empty / full distance and 15 cm blind-area clearance
  • Destination country, LoRaWAN regional plan, gateway and network server
  • Detection / upload interval, quantity, pilot scope and route fields
  • For gas sensing: selected channels, 12-24 VDC, airflow, enclosure and alarm purpose
