5.1 NFC connectivity
First step is to configure the equipment to register in the LoRaWAN network and define the irrigation timetable.
By default LoRaWAN communication and irrigation parameters are the values used during manufacturing
process to guarantee Watersens works correctly for delivering to final customer.
It is possible to modify the default parameters via any smartphone with NFC communication. Tapping the
cellular over the front of the housing the values can be read and modified with application Watersens Tool.
NOTES
• NFC communication is very selective. It means the NFC antennas of the smartphone and the
Watersens must be aligned. Please check the position of the NFC antenna in smartphone to find the
best match position with the Watersens. The figure below shows the position of the NFC antenna in
Watersens.
• After manufacturing process Watersens is programmed in a deep sleep special mode. To wake up the
Watersens from this mode only it is possible applying a NFC field (e.g. reading status or configuration
via smartphone with Watersens Tool application). If this action is not performed Watersens could
remain without activity.
