Communication Protocol

The communication protocol is the set of rules that govern how data is transmitted and received between the NEON devices and the application server. It defines the format, sequencing, and error control of the messages exchanged over LoRa.

Each device type has its own communication protocol and, in some cases, there are multiple versions for a single device type. In said cases, the product identification on the label of the device will be necessary to determine which protocol version the device uses.

The user must read the communication protocol of the device being used to understand the structure and the different types of messages. A summary table specifying the communication protocol version per product type and variation is presented next.

The protocol version is related to the product type. Protocol v2 of the Temperature Transmitter (TT) is not the same as Protocol v2 of the Vibration Sensor (VB)

Product type	Variation	Protocol version
Pressure Gauge (PG)	DS-RT-02-00	v1
Pressure Sensor (PS)	DS-RT-02-00	v1
Temperature Sensor (TS)	All TS devices	v2
Temperature Transmitter (TT)	DS-TT-01-xx production batch AA	v2
	DS-TT-01-xx production batch AB and higher	v3
	DS-TT-01-03 production batch AD and higher	v4
	DS-TT-02-00	v4
Vibration Sensor (VB)	DS-LD-01-xx	v2
	DS-LD-01-03 production batch AD	v3
	DS-LD-02-00	v3
	DS-LD-02-00 production batch AF and higher	v4
	DS-LD-xx-xx after firmware update to v3.x.x	v4
Contact Sensor (VS-CS)	All VS-CS devices	v1
Valve Sensor - Multiturn (VS-MT)	All VS-MT devices	v2
Valve Sensor - Quarter Turn (VS-QT)	All VS-QT devices	v2
