2. List of commands

We make a distinction between commands you can send without knowing

the pin code, and those were you do need a pin code:

• List of commands you can send without needing a PIN code:

o “on” : power on the device

o “reset” : power cycle the device

o “glreg” : get the configured LoRa region. If you read the tag after

sending this command, there will now be a line that says “rsp=glregX”

where X is:

▪ X = 5 → EU868

▪ X = 8 → US915

• List of commands for which you need the PIN code:

o “off”: set the device in inactive state

o “newpinxxxxxxxx”: change the pin code to xxxxxxxx (Note, it is very

important that you do not forget this pin code)

o “clrpin”: resets the pin to the default pin code (12345678)

o “slregX: set the lora region, where X is:

▪ X=5 -> EU868,

▪ X=8-> US915

For the commands where you need a PIN, you need to send the command

as following:

cmd=pinXXXXXXXX,[cmd]

where XXXXXXXX is the PIN code (default PIN is 12345678)

Ex. to set the LoRa region to EU868 for use in Europe:

5. How to configure the device

Bellow you can find a step by step guide on what you should do to

configure and turn on the device using the commands from section 2.

The first steps are only relevant if you are using the

LoRa variant of the parking sensor. If you are using

a different variant, you can continue from step 3.

1. Check the LoRa region by sending the

command “cmd=glreg”. After sending this

command, you can read the tag and look for

the line “rsp=glregX” to see which region is

currently configured:

2. If the device is configured for the wrong region,

change it by using the slreg command:

3. [OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED] Change the pin

using the newpin command. Make sure that you

remember this pin as there is no convenient way

of recovering/resetting this pin.

4. Turn on the device by using the command

“cmd=on”
