Hubs
Elsys 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).
Strips comes in "transport mode": when both of the magnets are attached, the device is idle.
Per strip, 2 magnets are delivered: 1 for activation, 1 for operational actions.
When removing the magnets for the first time, the device will automatically send a join request to the LoRa-hub (visit 2.1 Hardware to check compatibility between these sensors and our gateways/hubs).
- 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)
Sensor Installation
If you have removed the magnets, 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 configuration
Your devices key information, such as Sensor ID (serial-number) can be found in the package on a barcode.
