SDI-12 commands
⚫

Identify
One further basic command may be useful to identify the model, version
and serial numbers of a sensor. This command can be used with multiple
sensors connected to the SDI-12 network as only the sensor matching the
address in the command will respond. This command can also be used to
identify if a specific SDI-12 address is already in use within the network.
In this example WET150 at address d will be queried.
