To be able to use one payload decoder for all new RAKwireless devices, the devices are using a packet format that is based on Cayenne LPP but with extended data types that are coming from ElectronicCats CayenneLPP library or additional data types defined and added by RAKwireless.
This data format is used by
- Sensor Hub
- WisBlock example code that is based on the WisBlock-API and the WisBlock-Sensor-For-LoRaWAN
- WisBlock solutions like the RAK10700
- WisNode devices (planned)
A decoder for this extended Cayenne LPP data format is in this repository, the [RAKwireless_Standardized_Payload.js][./RAKwireless_Standardized_Payload.js] file. It works with Chirpstack, TheThingsNetwork, Helium LoRaWAN servers and the Datacake integration for data processing and visualization.
The packet data is made compatible with the extended Cayenne LPP encoding from ElectronicCats/CayenneLPP
The content of the packet depends on the WisBlock example or RAKwireless device like the SensorHub :

Channel ID's marked with 1) are extensions to the default Cayenne LPP format and need an extended decoder.
Channel ID's marked with 2) are extensions to the default Cayenne LPP format and need an extended decoder. In addition these data types cannot be generated with the CayenneLPP library, they need an extension to the library. The source code for this extension can be found in the ext folder.
A decoder for TTN, Chirpstack, Helium and Datacake can be found in the folder decoders
The decoder returns the decoded data as an array. The used named for the sensor values are listed in the column Decoded Field Name.
As much as possible standard Cayenne LPP formats are used.
When writing application code using the Arduino framework (or alternative PlatformIO where applicable), the ElectronicCats library CayenneLPP can be used. For some WisBlock specific data types in addition the WisCayenne extension of the ElectronicCats CayenneLPP library is required. The WisCayenne class files can be found in the ext folder.
The examples are kept as simple as possible, just showing the initialization and how to add values to the payload.
The channel numbers are defined in a separate header file for both examples.
There are two examples, one using the CayenneLPP library and a second example using the extension to the library.
