Elsys ERS payload decoders

Hello,

I’ve been trying to set up my Elsys ERSCO2 sensor to work with my Kerlink iFemtoCell gateway through our local network and the loraserver suite of applications. After some tumbling we managed to set-up the sensor through ABP.

The only problem now is decoding the message, unfortunately the Elsys website does not provide us with a decoding script compatible with loraserver.

Now the problem is, I’m not fluent in programming language whatsoever, so I’m basically stuck with paperweights at this very moment.

We can use TTN but it would defeat the purpose of having a network locally that we can manage.

We have examples here https://www.elsys.se/en/elsys-payload/ but we cannot adapt it for loraserver, would it be possible for someone to spare a little time to help us with this issue?

This is the log I’m getting from payloads.

Thank you regardless for your time.

I have some Elsys units.

What exactly are you tying to do? What have you done so far? What are you looking to decode with, the build in JS decode?

Happy to try and help out if I can - no promises of success though.

Hi, I fixed it.

I just kept the same decoder scipt but had to change the decoder function at the bottom not the first one, with the one specified by loraserver

Would you be able to share your JavaScript decoder function? It might be useful for others too :slight_smile:

  Use it as it is or remove the bugs :)

@Lora_Softech do you perhaps have download encoding function for Elsys as well?

…and change const declaration to var declaration in beginning

Good share. Much appreciated.
