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=<username>
<device_id>:model=<device_model>
<device_id>
E.g.
client123:username=homesensor,password=abc123
client123:password=abc123,username=homesensor
client123:username=homesensor
client123:password=abc123
client123
Clientid must be present in each line while username and password are optional; if username and password are not present there will be two cases:
- if default username and password are specified in "hsyco.ini" they will be used by the authentication mechanism
- if default username and password are not specified in "hsyco.ini" the authentication mechanism is disabled
Client identifiers are considered as case insensitive when they are registered to the MQTTBROKER, so there can't be two identifiers with the same sequence of characters in upper/lower case, e.g. "MQTT_Client" and "mqtt_client" are considered the same so they cannot be registered both on the MQTTBROKER.
