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)
