In the selected properties, be sure that you've checked the one called Encoded downlink message

It's the only property with a Write Access type

Now that all the requirements are completed, you can send the downlink. Go to Live data and click on Set a value

1) Fill this blank with the value of your downlink. Downlink specifications are explained in sensor manufacturer documentation.

2) Once you click on Save the downlink will be sent to the sensor.

Downlink Queue Management

Class A devices: If you send multiple consecutive downlinks, only the last one will be processed.
Class C devices: Downlinks are spaced 13 seconds apart per device to prevent overloading the LoRaWAN server.

The port number must be specified at the end of the downlink as follows :

[DOWNLINK]:[PORT]

ex:
ABCDEF:1
