AN-304 LoRaWAN PIR Motion Detector User Guide

Device Information: Model AN-304, devEui ffffff100004bcc0, gateway IP 192.168.31.205, Modbus Slave ID 4, BACnet Device ID 103

1 Protocol Overview

The AN-304 reports IR alarm event, battery voltage, tamper status, and signal quality on 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 = 0x04
0x17 1 infraredEvent uint8 0=normal 1=PIR alarm
0x77 1 tamperState uint8 0=normal 1=tampered
0x7D 1 batteryVoltageState uint8 0=normal 1=low voltage
0x04 2 batteryVoltage uint16 BE ÷1000 V e.g. 0x0DAC=3500 → 3.500 V
0x05 1 batteryLowEvent uint8 0=normal 1=low-voltage event
0x03 1 tamperEvent uint8 0=normal 1=tamper event

JavaScript Decoder Example:

// AN-304 PIR Motion Detector — Fport 210 uplink decoder
function decodeUplink(bytes) {
  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;
      case 0x03: r.tamperEvent         = bytes[i++]; break;
      case 0x04: r.batteryVoltage      = u16(bytes,i)/1000; i+=2; break;
      case 0x05: r.batteryLowEvent     = bytes[i++]; break;
      case 0x17: r.infraredEvent       = bytes[i++]; break; // 0=normal  1=alarm
      case 0x77: r.tamperState         = bytes[i++]; break;
      case 0x7D: r.batteryVoltageState = bytes[i++]; break;
      default:   i++; break;
    }
  }
  return r;
}
// Example payload (hex): 00 01 04 17 01 77 00 7D 00 04 0D AC
// → { model:4, infraredEvent:1, tamperState:0, batteryVoltageState:0, batteryVoltage:3.50 }

Script download: LPP.zip

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.
⚠️ 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 ID3ef9e6b9-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 IP192.168.31.205 is the gateway WAN port IP shown as an
example. Replace it with your actual gateway IP address.

Device EUIffffff100004bcc0 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/ffffff100004bcc0/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": "ffffff100004bcc0",
  "fPort": 210,
  "object": {
    ...  (decoded LPP fields)
  }
}

2.2 IoT Hub HTTP API
