      Byte: 1-2
      Alias: Modul Key
      Designation: module_key
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q-T/R/TR(-ACC)(-HALL) series
      Description:
      Byte 1

      • - 4 bit MSB: module code. For Mioty only "Sentiface" telemetry module, i.e. always 0x1.
      • 4 bit LSB: Major version. FW of the same major version but larger minor version remain compatible with older decoders. However, the number of bytes can change!

      Byte 2

      • 4 Bit MSB: Minor version. New SW versions may add new telemetry to the data packet incrementally.
      • 4 Bit LSB: Sub / Product Version. In Helios, these bits encode the specific configuration of connected sensors.

      Byte: 3
      Alias: Uplink Counter
      Designation:  uplink_counter
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q-T/R/TR(-ACC)(-HALL) series
      Description: Protocol of independent uplink counters, the maximum up to 255. After that, the counter starts again at 0.

      Byte: 5
      Alias: Internal temperature
      Designation:  internal_temperature
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q-T/R/TR(-ACC)(-HALL) series
      Description: Internal temperature of the sensor + 128
      //Temp. in °C internal_temperature: dataBytes[5] - 128,

      Byte: 6
      Alias: Alarm Variable
      Designation:  alarm
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q-T/R/TR(-ACC)(-HALL) series
      Description: 

      Uplink was caused by an alarm.

      • 0: Alarm not triggered
      • 1: Alarm triggered
      • 1 set if one of the alarm variables fails (formed from the logical OR of all alarm variables) Opening alarm disabled by default!

      Byte: 7-8
      Alias:  Master Measurement
      Designation: master_value
      Valid for versions: All - Basic payload, valid and available for all sensors of the Apollon-Q-T/R/TR(-ACC)(-HALL) series
      Description:

      • for APOQ-XXXX-T versions corresponds to the current measurement value of the ToF sensor in mm
      • corresponds to APOQ-XXXX-R versions Measurement value for the maximum peak of the radar in mm
      • or APOQ-XXXX-TR corresponds to a calculated Measured value from the current distances of the both measuring principles in mm

      For Versions: APOQ-XXXX-T, ZETA

      Byte: 9
      Alias: Status ToF
      Designation:  tof_status
      Valid for versions: for all sensors in the range: APOQ-XXXX-T, ZETA
      Description:

      Status of the sensor in relation to the last measured value

      • 0: Valid range
      • 2/4: Out of bounds
      • 5: Hardware fail
      • 7: Wrapped target
      • 8: Algorithm fail
      • 14: Invalid range

      Byte: 10-11
      Alias: Distanz
      Designation: tof_distance
      Valid for versions: for all sensors in the range: APOQ-XXXX-T, ZETA
      Description: Current measured distance of the ToF sensor in mm

      Byte: 12
      Alias: Modus ToF
      Designation: tof_index
      Valid for versions: for all sensors in the range: APOQ-XXXX-T, ZETA
      Description: 

      Mode in which the sensor sets the last value has included

        • 0: Short Up to 1.3 meters
        • 1: Medium Up to 3 meters
        • 2: Long Up to 4 meters
