Sensor Data message Format

Message:

Header
Sensor 0 data (optional)
Sensor 1 data (opt.)
...
Sensor 15 data (opt.)

  • Message length is variable, depending on which sensor data are included. Minimum length is 5 bytes (header only). Maximum length is 5 bytes + all sensor data (see below).

  • Integers are big endian: MSB first byte, LSB last byte.

Version
Device ID
Flags

  • Version: 1 byte; version = 2 for current protocol version.

  • Device ID: 2 bytes; 0...65535.

  • Flags: 16 bits: flag 15 | flag 14 | … | flag 0 (LSB).

  • The flags indicate, if data of the respective sensors are included in the message or not: Flag n == 1: sensor n data included; flag n == 0: not included.

Volumetric water content (VWC) calculation for mineral soil (see sensor manual by Meter Group): VWC = VWCRAW · 0.0003879 − 0.6956 [m3 /m3 ].

Apparent dielectric permittivity (dp) can be used to determine VWC using external published equations such as the Topp equation (Topp et al. 1980): dp = (0.000000002887 · (VWCRAW)^3 − 0.0000208 · (VWCRAW)^2 0.05276 · (VWCRAW) − 43.39)^2

Electrical conductivity units conversion: 1 μS/cm = 0.001 dS/m.
