LoRaWAN payload decoder<\/p>\n

A LoRaWAN payload decoder library with 500+ sensors<\/h1>\n

LoRaWAN sensors send compact binary messages. Sensor-Online decodes them into readable values automatically, so you can connect a sensor and see data without writing a decoder.<\/p>\n

How decoding works<\/h2>

From raw bytes to usable data.<\/p>

Raw payload<\/h3>

The sensor sends a compact binary message.<\/p><\/div>

Decoder<\/h3>

The matching decoder reads the bytes.<\/p><\/div>

Named values<\/h3>

Temperature, humidity, battery and more.<\/p><\/div>

Use the data<\/h3>

Dashboards, alarms, reports and the API.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

What you get<\/h2>

A decoder library that saves weeks of work.<\/p>

500+ ready-made decoders<\/h3>

Popular sensors from many manufacturers work out of the box, and the library keeps growing.<\/p><\/div>

Automatic decoding<\/h3>

Pick the device type and the platform decodes every uplink.<\/p><\/div>

Your own decoders<\/h3>

Add a custom decoder in JavaScript if your sensor is not in the library.<\/p><\/div>

Test before you go live<\/h3>

Paste a payload, choose the decoder and check the decoded values.<\/p><\/div>

Encoders for downlinks<\/h3>

Send commands to devices with encoders as well as decoders.<\/p><\/div>

Hardware agnostic<\/h3>

Use any LoRaWAN sensor, from any manufacturer.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

An illustrative example<\/h2>

What decoding does, using a simple common format.<\/p>

<\/th>Raw payload (hex)<\/th>Decoded value<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Uplink message<\/th>01 67 00 E1<\/td>Temperature: 22.5 \u00b0C<\/td><\/tr>
How<\/th>Channel, data type and value as bytes<\/td>Divide the value 225 by 10 to get degrees<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>

Illustrative example only. Every sensor model has its own payload format, which is why a matching decoder is needed.<\/p><\/section>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>
What is a LoRaWAN payload decoder?<\/summary>

A decoder converts the compact binary message a LoRaWAN sensor sends into readable values such as temperature or humidity.<\/p><\/details>

How many sensors have ready-made decoders?<\/summary>

The library has more than 500 ready-made decoders and keeps growing.<\/p><\/details>

What if my sensor is not in the library?<\/summary>

Add your own decoder in JavaScript, or ask us to help.<\/p><\/details>

Can I test a decoder before using it?<\/summary>

Yes. Paste a payload, choose the decoder and see the decoded values.<\/p><\/details>

Can I send commands to a device?<\/summary>

Yes. Encoders let you send downlinks to devices.<\/p><\/details><\/div><\/section>\n
