CoAP Communication with Lobaro Platform

This page describes the possible uplink and downlink message contents when using NB-IoT or LTE-M (cellular IoT) as technology to communicate with the Lobaro IoT Platform, e.g. the firmware WAN parameter must be configured to lte.

Lobaro Platform

Parsed and optionally decrypted Wireless M-Bus data can be viewed and further processed in the Lobaro IoT platform. Third-party systems can be integrated to retrieve Wireless M-Bus data and status information using various platform integrations. This enables seamless data forwarding via protocols like MQTT, HTTP-Push, or REST interfaces without requiring in-depth knowledge of the platform's communication with the device.

For communication between Lobaro products and the Lobaro IoT Platform, an optimized, low-power protocol secured by TLS is used.

SaaS instance Lobaro Platform

The SaaS instance is available at platform.lobaro.com and is free to use for testing purposes. To gain access, please contact Lobaro.

CoAP Protocol

The protocol details of the CoAP implementation are not publicly disclosed and are intended for use exclusively with the Lobaro IoT Platform. For integration with third-party systems, MQTT is the preferred protocol — see MQTT Communication.

If you require access to this and MQTT is not an option, please contact Lobaro directly.
