Bad or no readings from a sensor

Problems observed

The radio node is powered on and has the sensor(s) connected but B3 has no readings or the readings are incorrect.

Reason

The reason may be an incorrect type saved in the List of initialised sensors in S2GW.

At the moment only one such case was observed when Heraeus Temp sensor type was assigned to both T and RH sensors of SHT75. The reason of such an error was not yet defined.

The incorrect list where 4_0 and 4_1 are incorrect types:

Solution

If the index of a sensor with a wrong type is not changed then its type will be never checked.

The simplest method to redo the initialisation is to change the index to a non existing one, wait until the new configuration is transmitted to S2GW, which can be checked in XML log, and then change it again to correct value. This will cause the sensor initialisation and will correct the sensor type basing on its answer over radio.

Another option is to reset the S2GW by power cycle or using Putty if it can be accessed.

The list after reboot and full initialisation where 4_0 and 4_1 are correct:
