Learning Objectives

After reading this article, you’ll be able to:

  • Verify what is needed for motion sensor installation

  • Define installation method depending on the use case

  • Watch out for mistakes that were made at other installations

Prerequisites

Note

Motion sensors connect over the LoRa network. Make sure you install your LoRa hub before installing the sensors (check out LoRa Gateways / Hubs installation guides for more information).

Prepare your sensor plan (floorplan with dimensions and markings of where the sensors need to come) has been set up.

Verify you have everything to go on site: Checklist hardware on-site visit/installation

Make sure to communicate to the workplace users on site what is happening (change management).

Decide installation method depending on use case

Depending on the location/use case, the installation method will be different:

Sensor installation Tips & Tricks

  • Don’t place tape on the side with the QR code

  • Place the eye towards the seating area of the workplace or facing down the ground

  • Aim the eye facing down away from strong heating or cooling sources (fireplace, HVAC)

‪What happened before  - don’t let it happen again…

  • Eye of workplace sensor very close against a metal stud 

  • Meeting room sensor towards the door

  • Sensor on a movable table

  • Sensor below a chair instead of table

  • Sensor on top of the table

  • Sensors/touch point installation in a “construction” site

How to automate tabs sensor installation?

Spacewell and installer partners use the Scan-IT to Office app.

  1. install "Scan-IT to Office" app on your phone

  2. install Excel add-in your office environment

  3. prepare an excel listing all the locations

  4. scan all the motion sensors in the order of the locations from the excel (preferably "offline")

  5. when you "come online", you import the data in your excel

Note

The app is free, but they regularly ask you to buy more features. They do this

  • by adding a line to your excel sheet -> pay close attention when uploading to make sure you catch these sneaky extra added lines

  • through a pop-up in the app in the moment you scan... but then they still scan/capture that data -> make sure to check that you don't end up scanning 2 times the same code/committing it to different locations in your excel

For more information you can watch this Youtube Video for a more detailed step-by-step guide.
