Overview
This TRM describes the user accessible configuration settings (pseudo registers) supported by
the Home Sensor. This document is intended for a technical audience, such as application
developers, with an understanding of the Network Server and its command interfaces.
The Kona All-in-One Home Sensor is a multi-purpose LoRaWAN IoT sensor packed into a very
small form factor. The Home Sensor is ideal for monitoring and reporting temperature,
humidity, light, shock, and open/closed doors and windows in the home environment.
Additional sensing features such as leak and motion detection, as well as counting pulses from
an external device are also supported with the appropriate Home Sensor model. Table 2-1
presents the currently available Kona All-in-One Home Sensor models and RF Regions.

The default configuration on the Home Sensor is:
•
Report Temperature and RH every 1 (one) hour.
•
Report Battery Voltage every 24 (twenty-four) hours.
•
Report actuation of the digital input element every one 1 (one) actuation.
There are two information streams that need to be supported by applications:
•
Data from the Sensor (UL Data) contains readings from the various on-board
transducers.
•
Data from the Server (DL Data) contains configuration commands that can be used to
change the Sensor’s behavior.
In the following sections, the UL (departing from the Sensor) and DL (destined to the Sensor)
payload formats are explained. Refer to the
