Changing SPARROW frequency remotely

Is there a way to send a note to the Sparrow gateway and tell it to collect temperature motion data on a different schedule other than 1 hour and 15 minutes respectively? I’d like to be able to make them more frequent for testing purposes but don’t want to have to reconnect the deployed device to my machine to make changes. @tjvantoll

Hey @jlandgrave62,

At the moment this is only possible by altering the firmware itself and redeploying it to your sensor nodes.

If you’re interested in this approach, you can refer to our Builder’s Guide for more information on altering the firmware and flashing it to your devices.

Here’s where you can configure that interval for the BME sensor (sparrow-reference-firmware/bme.c at ce734355a9365fdb90b3f2bdb1bb2555df29430d · blues/sparrow-reference-firmware · GitHub) (see activationPeriodSecs), and here’s where it is for the PIR (sparrow-reference-firmware/pir.c at ce734355a9365fdb90b3f2bdb1bb2555df29430d · blues/sparrow-reference-firmware · GitHub).
