Latest version: 1.80 released 20 November 2020

Version 1.80 adds the possibility to set a toggle countdown timer by sending a LoRaWAN message. After xx minutes the relay toggles off/on, dependent on the configuration.

The reporting interval, that is how often the position of the relay is reported, is adjustable between 30 and 3600 seconds. In the default setting the RPSW sends a LoRaWAN message every 30 seconds. This setting can now be remotely configured by sending a LoRaWAN message.

The following message types are added:

  • Message type: 11 (close relay and start toggle countdown)
  • Message type: 10 (open relay and start toggle countdown)
  • Message type: 0F (set reporting interval)

See chapter 6 and 7 of the updated manual.

 

 

Version: 1.72 released 10 November 2020

Example of a successful factory reset as monitored from the internal serial port:

 

 

There is a special procedure for upgrading the LoRa remote Power Switch software from MS Windows. You can find it here.

Version: 1.71 released 1 September 2020

  • Version 1.71 fixes an OTAA re-join bug:
    After sending 32768 packets, the LoRa Remote Power Switch issues an OTAA Join request and resets the packet counters when the OTAA join reply is received. However, when the LoRAWAN packet logging function is switched OFF the received NwkSKey and the AppSKey are not correctly saved to the EEPROM of the LoRa Remote Power Switch. This causes the LoRa Remote Power Switch to lose connection to the LoRaWAN server.
  • Workaround for software versions 1.60 and 1.70:
    Switching  the LoRaWAN packet logging to ON will prevent this from happening in software versions 1.60 and 1.70.

 

Download the manual and turn to chapter 7 to see how to perform a software update.
