No actions needed on TTN platform
Tracknet Tabs sensor communicate through encrypted LoRa with the hub, who will send the data to The Things Network (TTN) (LoRa platform).
- the sensors cannot be configured on TTN platform
- the data is automatically forwarded to Cobundu
Motion sensor – PIR
This sensor can not be configured on TTN.
Legacy (from before 2020 // for use without caps):
There are 5 different parameters that effect the behaviour of a TrackNet motion sensor. Sensitivity, Blind time, pulse counter, window time, and filter type.
Each of these parameters can be altered by sending a downlink to the sensor from the trackio platform.
For calculating the downlink code use the latest version of the downlink encryption sheet.
For configuring multiple sensors at once use the latest version of the downlink configuration program.
Healthy home – Comfort
This sensor can not be configured on TTN.
Door & Window switch
This sensor can not be configured on TTN.
Deploy sensors in Studio
Inquire the list of the sensors (Device ID)
You can either check for Tab sensor IDs with your customer or you can request in your MCS ticket following the hardware shipment (ref /wiki/spaces/PS/pages/491728) from which boxes were the sensors taken?
In the following documents, you will find inventory files. Sensors are treated First In First Out.
If you just filter on the box numbers you’ll see all the sensors in that box.

Learning Objectives
After reading this article, you’ll be able to:
Set up an excel that makes it’s really easy for the installer to provide location installation information
Use an excel sheet for batch upload of many sensors
Some projects include HUGE amounts of sensors - having the installer paste the stickers-with-sensor-ID on the sensor plan and manually taking it from there might be very time consuming.
If your project has more than (tabs) 50 or 100 sensors, you might consider using excel.
This page describes how to set up an excel that installers can use to quickly enter the (correct) device ID. At the end of an installation day, you will have an excel sheet that contains device ID and location information, allowing you to easily add multiple new devices to Studio.
Prerequisites
Set up location master data in IWMS. We’ll need the location unique ID for upload in Studio, but probably the location is known to the customer with “nicer” reference. For example, a meeting room might be called “Louvre”, but unique ID in this case is 910000000007087.
Inquire the list of possible sensors
Most sensors are shipped directly from the manufacturer.
Only for Tabs sensors, your Spacewell Implementation Consultant will be able to indicate which device IDs were shipped (see Tabs hardware inventory files). For them to check this, please communicate box number / cartonID. This is a unique identification number per cardboard box.

*There are no box IDs available for the US.
Prepare Import Excel
Provide the rooms template and floor plans to the customer: A clear indication of the area where the sensors must/will be installed.
As described in the installation guide, make sure to have the stickers or clearly take note of the 8 last digits of the sensor number in “Device ID #” column.
Concerning the TAB sensor, be aware that there are 2 numbers on a sensor, the ID that starts with 58-A0-CB-00 is the one that we need during the configuration.

Manually Add New Device in Studio
You can manually add a record via "Add New Device"
...
In case of generic sensors, use Advanced to select relevant channels. Advanced is still under construction.
Enter Device ID as mentioned on the sensor.
Enter a meaningful Device Name (eg customer_floor number_area).
Select a Location from the location tree if this is already known.
Next to the already selected (main) Room, you can visualize the incoming data on other, Linked Locations. Imagine having 1 comfort sensor in an open office space and you want to visualize this data on all 8 workplaces in that space: Linked Location needs to contain all 8 workplaces.
Motion sensor – PIR
Selecting the correct Device Type "TrackNet-Motion-v1.3" should automatically set the Channel to "pir" and Type to "Presence".
Healthy home – Comfort
Selecting the correct Device Type "TrackNet-Humidity-v1.3" should automatically set
- the Channel to "humidity" and Type to "Humidity"
- the Channel to "temperature" and Type to "Temperature"
Door & Window switch
Selecting the correct Device Type "TrackNet-DoorWindow-v1.3" should automatically set the Channel to "open" and Type to "Pulse".
(some background info: Door counter sensors can come in 2 ways:
- pulse = sensor sends "pulses" to Cobundu, and Cobundu must count how many pulses have been made
- counter = sensor sends counter value to Cobundu - and this value used

Upon installation, fill in the last 4 digits of the sensor ID into column "Sensor ID" in the ROOMS tab.
