Preparation

Check here the checklist for installation: Checklist for hardware installation

Make sure you have enough space (3.5mm) between the door and the door frame to install the sensor.

Sensative strips connect over the LoRa network (visit 2.1 Hardware to check compatibility between these sensors and our gateways/hubs). Make sure you install your LoRa hub before installing the sensors (check out LoRa Gateways / Hubs installation guides for more information).


Sensor activation

Per strip, 2 magnets are delivered: 1 for activation (round; compare to the plastic strip on tabs sensors), 1 for operational actions (rectangle). In other words, strips comes in "transport mode": when both of the magnets are attached, the device is idle.

When removing the magnets for the first time, the device will automatically send a join request to the LoRa-hub.

  • The range is shorter than standard LoRa, due to the smaller antenna and narrow openings in which the sensor is used. The range is more likely to be close to a good Wi-Fi network.
  • Number of sensors per hub is irrelevant (500 - 1000 per hub)


If you have removed the magnets (eg before the hub is installed), and you need to manually join the device, take one of the magnets and move it to the round edge (Magnet sensor 2) of the Strip 3 times (3 green LED blinks at the Sensative logo). This will send a join request to the server:

  •  One long green LED blink signals the device has been successfully joined to the server 
  • 5 red blinks means the device failed to join to the network


Sensor installation: How to mount magnets for door/window set up?

  1. Tape the sensative strip to either the door or the door frame. In this example: the door itself
     
  2. The rectangle magnet needs to be placed on the door frame and is to be on the same level as the sensative logo (see image)
  3. Your devices key information, such as Sensor ID (= serial-number with all capitals and -) and serial number can be found in the package on a barcode. Make sure you communicate these to your Spacewell Implementation Consultant.
  4. Send Sensor Plan with sensor placement indication to Spacewell (scan, picture) for mapping

    (Allow time for upload sensor ID and mapping (Spacewell), following Sensative Strip Configuration Guide)

Quality Assurance

In GO Live Floorplans, you should see count adding up each time the door is opened; in Studio > Devices you should see values 0+1+0+1 coming in.

For Live Floorplan and Dashboards, only transition from 0 to 1 is counted = only door opening is counted.

What you should see on GO Live Floorplan > View Pulse Count and/or in Studio > Devices:

Remember that in Studio, you might/should also see values from the sensor heartbeat coming in. Don't mistake these for actual data (heartbeat = sending 1+1+1 as values; whereas real data would be 0+1+0+1...)

Following sensor is only sending heartbeats, no detected values/data:
