# SET\_TYPE, Command 12

OUT

| 08 | 00 | 12 | GRP | ID | CRC | TYPE | CRC |
| -- | -- | -- | --- | -- | --- | ---- | --- |

IN

| 08 | 00 | 22 | GRP | ID | CRC | TYPE | CRC |
| -- | -- | -- | --- | -- | --- | ---- | --- |

This command will set the TYPE of the node via UART.

(for a list of node types see PH001-0001-SII)

Note 1: At power-up, the node will behave as a “Basic temp node” for 10 seconds and then switch over to the interface specified by SET\_TYPE.

 Note 2: This command is obsolete in node type 11. So the type cannot be set with this version and the response will always have the type 11.
