AN-301 LoRaWAN Emergency Button User Guide

Device Information: Model AN-301, devEui ffffff100004bccc, gateway IP 192.168.31.205, Modbus Slave ID 6, BACnet Device ID 110

1 Protocol Overview

The AN-301 reports battery voltage, tamper status/event, SOS event/time, and signal quality on Fport 210.

1.1 Uplink Data Protocol (Fport 210)

Payload format (Fport 210):

Byte	Field	Description
0	Reserved	Always `0x00` (protocol version)
1 … N	TLV pairs	`[Type(1 B)][Value(N B)]` … repeating until end

Each Type byte determines the field name and the number of following value bytes:

Type	Value Bytes	Field Name	Encoding	Scale	Unit	Notes
`0x01`	1	`model`	uint8	—	—	Model code = 0x01
`0x14`	1	`sosEvent`	uint8	—	—	0=normal 1=SOS danger
`0x77`	1	`tamperState`	uint8	—	—	0=normal 1=tampered (status)
`0x7D`	1	`batteryVoltageState`	uint8	—	—	0=normal 1=low voltage
`0x04`	2	`batteryVoltage`	uint16 BE	÷1000	V	e.g. 0x0DFC=3580 → 3.580 V
`0x05`	1	`batteryLowEvent`	uint8	—	—	0=normal 1=low-voltage event triggered
`0x03`	1	`tamperEvent`	uint8	—	—	0=normal 1=tamper event triggered

JavaScript Decoder Example:

// AN-301 Emergency Button — Fport 210 uplink decoder
function decodeUplink(bytes) {
  // bytes[0] is reserved (0x00); Type-Value pairs start at index 1
  var i = 1, r = {};
  function u16(b,o){ return (b[o]<<8)|b[o+1]; }
  while (i < bytes.length) {
    var t = bytes[i++];
    switch (t) {
      case 0x01: r.model            = bytes[i++]; break;           // model code
      case 0x03: r.tamperEvent      = bytes[i++]; break;           // 0=normal  1=event
      case 0x04: r.batteryVoltage   = u16(bytes,i)/1000; i+=2; break; // V
      case 0x05: r.batteryLowEvent  = bytes[i++]; break;
      case 0x14: r.sosEvent         = bytes[i++]; break;           // 0=normal  1=SOS
      case 0x77: r.tamperState      = bytes[i++]; break;
      case 0x7D: r.batteryVoltageState = bytes[i++]; break;
      default:   i++; break; // skip unknown type
    }
  }
  return r;
}
// Example payload (hex): 00 01 01 14 00 77 00 7D 00 04 0D FC 05 00
// → { model:1, sosEvent:0, tamperState:0, batteryVoltageState:0, batteryVoltage:3.58, batteryLowEvent:0 }

Compatibility note: LPP.js is developed and tested against ChirpStack v4.17.0. The ChirpStack JavaScript codec API may differ across versions — if you are running a different ChirpStack version, review and adjust the script as needed before deployment.

2 Getting Uplink Data

⚠️ The IP addresses (192.168.31.205 / 192.168.31.193), ChirpStack API token, Slave ID, BACnet Device ID, and devEui in the examples below are for demonstration only. Replace them with your actual gateway IP, ChirpStack API token, and device parameters.

2.1 ChirpStack MQTT Subscription

Subscribe to the MQTT topic to receive real-time uplink frames:

Application ID — 3ef9e6b9-ec54-4eda-86b8-a5fb46899f39 is the factory-default ChirpStack
application built into the gateway. Replace it with your actual application
ID if you have created a different one.

Gateway IP — 192.168.31.205 is the gateway WAN port IP shown as an
example. Replace it with your actual gateway IP address.

Device EUI — ffffff100004bccc is the EUI of the example device.
Replace it with the EUI shown in the gateway device list, or use +
as a wildcard to subscribe to all devices at once.

# Subscribe to one specific device
mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.31.205 -p 1883 \
  -u gateway -P mqtt88888888 \
  -t "application/3ef9e6b9-ec54-4eda-86b8-a5fb46899f39/device/ffffff100004bccc/event/up"

# Subscribe to ALL devices on ALL applications (wildcard)
mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.31.205 -p 1883 \
  -u gateway -P mqtt88888888 \
  -t "application/+/device/+/event/up"

Example uplink payload (JSON):

{
  "devEui": "ffffff100004bccc",
  "fPort": 210,
  "object": {
    ...  (decoded LPP fields)
  }
}

2.2 IoT Hub HTTP API

Send a GET request to retrieve the latest device state:

curl -s "http://192.168.31.205:8070/api/getStatus?devEui=ffffff100004bccc"
{
  "success": true,
  "result": {
    "batteryVoltage": 3.57,
    "tamperStatus": false,
    "sosEvent": false,
    "model": "AN-301"
  }
}
