Repeater Add-On — Configuration

note

Parameters like listenCron, cmodeDurSec, smodeDurSec and the filter parameters also exist in the base app-nrf91-origin firmware, but their purpose here is different: on the Repeater they control which telegrams are re-transmitted — there is no cloud upload.

tip

Filters support blacklist mode by prefixing with !, e.g. mFilter=!LOB excludes Lobaro telegrams. For details see Meter Reception Filter Configuration.

warning

Maximum listen duration is 36,000 seconds (10 hours). Long durations drain the battery quickly.

rFilter

Either a comma-separated list of repeater IDs (only retransmit telegrams from those repeaters) or * to retransmit from any repeater.

maxHopCount

Limits how many times a telegram may be retransmitted in a chain of repeaters.

suppressionTime

Duplicate telegrams received within this window (seconds) are suppressed.

installModeDuration

After reboot the repeater runs in install mode for this duration. In install mode the green LED blinks on each received packet.

rtcChip

Selects which RTC chip on the Repeater Add-On board is used. Use both unless directed otherwise by Lobaro support.
