Decoding the data packets of Echoflex devices at a glance

What does the data value mean?

Monitoring the wireless telegrams is nice but the raw data doesn't real tell you anything. So how do you know what it means

The raw data is viewable as bytes and is in hexadecimal format

For a switch station message, the data is 1 byte long. For a sensor or controller status message, the data is 4 bytes long

Switches come as a single paddle / pair of buttons or as a dual paddle / pair of buttons. Each paddle or button has a press and a release message

Single Paddle or Single Pair of Buttons

Dual Paddle or Dual Pair of Buttons

Action	Data Packet
Left Paddle or Bottom Pair Press ON	10

Sensor Type	Data
Occupancy	B4 B3 B2 B1	B4 = % value of supply voltage B3 = ignore B2 = occupancy state [00 = vacant] [FF = occupied] B1 = message type [any value ending in 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F is a data message, a value ending in 7, 6, 5, 4, 2, 1, 0 is a TEACH message]
Occupancy	Example 1: Raw Data = 70 00 00 0F	data message with values of 44% stored energy, vacant state
Occupancy	Example 2: Raw Data = EF 00 FF 0F	data message with values of 94% stored energy, occupied state
Occupancy	Example 3: Raw Data = 1C 08 04 87	TEACH message with 1C 08 = occupancy sensor, 04 = manufacturer = Echoflex Solutions

Lighting Controller Status	B4 B3 B2 B1	B4 = % light level in zone via linked light sensor [00 = no linked sensor or no light] B3 = closed loop daylighting set point in % [ B2 = current dimming output value B1 = message type, relay state, zone occupancy state, repeater mode state
Lighting Controller	Example 1: Raw Data = 00 00 FF 09	data message with no linked light sensor, dimming output @ 100%, relay closed, unoccupied (or no occ sensor linked), repeating disabled
