SIGFOX

Sigfox is a global network operator founded that builds wireless networks to connect low-power objects such as electricity meters and smartwatches, which need to be continuously on and emitting small amounts of data. This driver allows you to communicate with Sigfox Cloud in order to retrieve messages and status updates collected from devices.

HSYCO Configuration

Add the SIGFOX I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

Authentication

• User: optional API username
• Password: optional API password

Devices list file

At the first run of SIGFOX driver a file named "sigfox-devices_<I/O_Server_name>.ini" will be created . This file can contain a series of line, each line represents informations of a single device and can have the following format:

<device_id>:name=<device_name>,model=<device_model>

<device_id>:model=<device_model>,name=<device_name>

<device_id>:name=<device_name>

<device_id>:model=<device_model>

<device_id>

E.g.

BE1234:name=homesensor,model=eccoswitch

BE1234:model=eccoswitch,name=homesensor

BE1234:name=homesensor

BE1234:model=eccoswitch

BE1234

Device ID must be present in each line while name and model are optional. Device identifiers are considered as case insensitive by the SIGFOX I/O Server, so there can't be two identifiers with the same sequence of characters in upper/lower case, e.g. "BE1234" and "be1234" are considered the same.

Options

ID	Default	Values	Description
startupevents	true	true	generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase
		false	start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system
acceptunknown	false	true	accept incoming messages from devices whose id isn't specified in Sigfox-devices.ini
		false	doesn't accept incoming messages from devices whose id isn't specified in Sigfox-devices.ini
localport	1883	<portNumber>	local port for incoming client connection
maxthreads	64	n > 0	max number of clients connected simultaneously
