Detailed Description

mbusAddrList Parameter

This parameter specifies the baudrate and list of devices separated by :.

Instead of a numeric baudrate a * may be specified for baudrate detection.

The list of device addresses is separated by ,. Instead of a address a * may be specified to scan for primary addresses or a + to scan for secondary addresses. Detected addresses are appended to the list of devices.

warning

It is possible to specify any combination of numeric addresses, + and *. This may lead to read a device twice, first with its primary address and again with its secondary address.

tip

Instead of a configuration it is possible to specify a A to activate automatic configuration mode. In this case the baudrate is detected automatically, followed by a scan for secondary addresses. If both is successful a suitable configuration string is generated and stored in mbusAddrList, overwriting the A.

When using the automatic configuration make sure all devices are connected and up and running!

LoRaWAN Communication

The transmission of the wired mbus data is identical to the wireless mbus data
