Learning Objectives
After reading this article, you’ll be able to:
install Tabs motion sensors in Meeting Rooms
Prerequisites
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.
Calculate the prerequisites:
Ceiling height should be between 2,15m and 4m
Length to be > 4m OR Width > 4m
When coverage of 1 sensor is exceeded, multiple sensors are needed
Check the room against the prerequisites. If the prerequisite “coverage of 1 sensor” is exceeded, multiple sensors must be installed: please contact Spacewell Implementation Consultant

Verify you have everything to go on site: Checklist hardware on-site visit or installation
Depending on the amount of sensors you’re installing, you might want to Prepare batch import file before installation
Make sure to communicate to the workplace users on site what is happening (change management).

If the situation you are facing deviates from these instructions/prerequisites, please contact Spacewell. Pictures / Drawings say more than a 1000 words.
Sensor installation Tips & Tricks
Don’t place tape on the side with the QR code
Aim the eye facing down away from strong heating or cooling sources (fireplace, HVAC)

Deploy sensors in Workplace Platform
On the back panel of the sensor, you will find the Device ID. Depending on the version of the sensor, the position of the device ID information on the sensor might differ a bit.
Where the sensor sticker will mention Device ID in format 58A0-CB00-0010-XXXX or E8E1-E100-010C-XXXX: add dashes after each 2 characters in Studio (to obtain 58-A0-CB-00-00-10-XX-XX resp E8-E1-E1-00-01-0C-XX-XX).
Add New Device in Workplace back-end Studio
Go to your environment (https://studio.cobundu.com ) and log in
Select the location, where you can manually add a sensor via "Add New Device"
Manually add device through location > devices > new: location is filled in.
Select Device Type "TrackNet Motion v1.3". This will automatically link the device channel.
Enter Device ID as serial-number with all capitals and including the dashes. Where the sensor sticker will mention Device ID in format 58A0-CB00-0010-XXXX or E8E1-E100-010C-XXXX: add dashes after each 2 characters in Studio (to obtain 58-A0-CB-00-00-10-XX-XX resp E8-E1-E1-00-01-0C-XX-XX).
Enter a meaningful Device Name (eg customer_floor number_area).
Select a Location from the location tree if this is already known (automatically filled in if location was selected before adding new device).
Linked Locations is not relevant for this kind of sensor.
Selecting the correct Device Type "TrackNet Motion v1.3" should automatically set the Type to "Presence" and the Channel to “PIR” (see Advanced).
For more information on how to add multiple new devices to Studio, check out Configure devices (add, remove, import, and export).
Quality Assurance
Next step is the Quality Assurance to make sure that the whole installation and configuration of your Motion sensor was a success. See Quality Assurance Occupancy and Utilization Sensor
