Support added October 2021

Codecs & Templates have been expanded to allow exposing commands into our dashboard UI. When these are selected they allow us to trigger commands to the device that will set certain common configuration options that we’ve chosen to expose.

Info

These options must be supported in the Codec as well as a downlink_commands section added to the Custom Template.

Link to our Google Doc showing templates and testing status.

Notes

Note

Unless specifically required (approved?), do not add interval of less than 10 minutes. It will only lead to hardware and RMA troubles for us. If necessary we can do this as a one-off configuration by issuing downlink commands to hardware via the console, there’s no reason to expose smaller values to users in the UI.
