How to send downlink msg. to Senet Intgration

TagoIO Devices and Connectors

Hi,

It looks like the downlink feature is very specific for TTN/TTI because I don’t see any of the required variables in the Senet uplink.

Are there any examples on what the values for device_id, application_id and downlink_key/url need to be for Senet?

Or is the only option here to use the Senet device API?

Thanks,

Erwin

Actually, to be more technical, the option you want to use is our middleware integration in order to communicate with Senet.

We create those middlewares in order to have some universal protocol to communicate with all the networks we support, so each middleware will normalize the information based on the network specifications for downlinks.

In the Senet case, you can only use downlinks if you integrated your devices using the Authorization method. If you’re using the Device-Token, our downlink method available in the documentations won’t work, as in this method we don’t have all the information’s needed from Senet to perform downlinks.

When using the Authorization method, you can’t forget to copy an API key from your Senet account to the Authorization additional parameters, as it is need to authorize TagoIO to perform the downlink.

If you are using the Device-Token method, you need to write your own analysis to perform the downlinks to Senet, Which is usually just a HTTP Post to https://portal.senetco.io/rest/current/device/sendmsg. We have a snippet called “GET to HTTP route”, and it has all the documentation inside the code that you need to perform a POST request.
