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

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.

! Please mind: there are 100 sensors in 1 box, so in case your customer did not buy a multiple of 100, some IDs mentioned in this list do not belong to your tenant.

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.

Even if the Sensor ID on the TAB might have a different format (58A0-CB00-...or E8E1-E100-...), the upload in Studio tenant needs to happen with a dash separating every 2 characters (58-A0-CB-00-... or E8-E1-E1-00-...)
The Sensor ID is in HEX, so only 0-9; A-F characters are used. All letters are in CAPS.

Manually Add New Device in Studio

You can manually add a record via "Add New Device"
