Use of Sigfox with Una Shiled V2S
category: radio
tags: sigfox
A brief procedures are:
- Attach Una Shield V2S with Arduino Uno, and transfer the sketch to the Arduino Uno.
- Configure the Web server to accept Webhook.
- Configure Sigfox backend cloud to send data to your own web server.
Configuration of the web server
Place the file named, for example, index.php
to accept a webhook.
<?php
$LOGFILE = './hook.log';
$postdata = file_get_contents("php://input");
file_put_contents($LOGFILE, date("Y-m-d H:i:s")." ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']." ".
$postdata."\n", FILE_APPEND|LOCK_EX);
$payload = json_decode($postdata, true);
foreach($payload as $key => $value) {
file_put_contents($LOGFILE, " ".$key.": ".$value."\n", FILE_APPEND|LOCK_EX);
}
?>
OK.
Please make sure that a file hook.log
is writable. You can check the function by typing
curl -X POST [URL of the webhook] -d '{"name":"test"}'
Configuration of the Sigfox backend cloud
The procedures are as follows:
- Log in to Sigfox Backend Cloud.
- Click “DEVICE TYPE” near top of the page, and click “Unabiz” in Name link. And click “CALLBACKS” at the left sidebar.
- Click “New” at the top right button.
- Set DATA and UPLINK as “Type”, and set URL as “Channel.” Type
t1::uint:16 ctr::uint:16:little-endian t2::uint:16 tmp::uint:16:little-endian t3::uint:16 vlt::uint:16:little-endian
as “Custom payload.” Type your Webhook address in “Url pattern,” set Post as “Use HTTP Method.” Please check “Send SNI” if you use a virtual server. Type application/json
as “Content type.” And type
{"time":"{time}",
"station":"{station}",
"rssi":"{rssi}",
"snr":"{snr}",
"data":"{data}",
"counter":"{customData#ctr}",
"temperature":"{customData#tmp}",
"voltage":"{customData#vlt}",
"t1":"{customData#t1}",
"t2":"{customData#t2}",
"t3":"{customData#t3}"
}
as “Body.” Then click “Ok.”
You may obtain results such as
2018-xx-xx xx:xx:xx ip-address {"time":"xxxxxxxxxxx","station":"xxxx","rssi":"-123.00","snr":"18.21","data":"920e5ab4b051610194592000","counter":"46170","temperature":"353","voltage":"32","t1":"37390","t2":"45137","t3":"37977"}
