OTF Config Radio Commands Question

Hi NCD,

We are very excited about the new OTF Config options.

I know the ncd-red-wireless-2 package has some options for configuration, but a lot of those either need to be setup for a specific MAC chosen from a list, or for an entire type of sensors.

I am working out the ability to programatically set a sensor to a specific node_id based upon its Xbee MAC Address.

For example:

4th minute of the hour, 00:13:A2:00:41:90:DF:F9 sends its OTF Config FLY packet.
My Node-Red Instance looks up DF:F9 and finds (via API, or onboard storage, etc) that I have determined this needs to be node_id 7.

I see that DF:F9s is ready to config, I send it the new command to ‘Stay Awake for a few seconds longer’.
I then send it:
7E 00 17 10 00 13 A2 00 41 90 DF F9 FF FF FE 00 00 F7 02 00 00 00 01 07
That would set just that sensor (by including its MAC in the command) to node_id 7 (last byte) I think.
Then I think I need to send it one more radio command saying ‘Done with Config, exit config’.

My question is, what are those two missing command strings?

  1. Stay in config, wait for more config
  2. Config done, exit config

I would eventually like to do the same with the Probe ODR Settings, but I think if I know the start and end commands I can program the same.

Kyle,
This is how it works.
commands can be found in the sensor configuration commands table

Extend config time – 7E 00 14 10 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FE 00 00 F4 4F 00 00 65 32 19
Exit cfg mode – 7E 00 14 10 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FE 00 00 F4 4F 00 00 65 33 18
