I tried to puzzle out when the Aeotec Multisensor 6 (= ZW100) reports data in battery mode (which is different from USB powered mode). Here is my understanding:
-
The āWakeup Period -> Wakeup Intervalā determines the minimum interval in that the temperature values, humidity values, luminance values, UV values and battery values are reported.
All of these values are reported only at the time when the device also does a wakeup. [exceptions to this may be: ālow batteryā (parameter 39) and ālow temperatureā (parameter 46)]
-
If configuration parameter 40 āSelective Reportingā is enabled, then the data for the sensors is only sent at the wakeup time when the corresponding threshold was reached (as defined in Parameters 41 through 45). When the threshold was not reached, the data is not reported.
Example:
- Wakeup Interval is set to 600 seconds
- Parameter 40 is enabled
- Parameter 41 (Temperature) is set to 10 (a change in 1 degree Celsius is reported)
-> Temperature change is < 1 degree Celsus: no report
-> Temperature change is >= 1 degree Celsus: temperature report is sent at the end of the current 600 second interval.
-
If one of configuration parameter 101 through 103 is set (Group n Periodic Reports; bitcoded value which defines which sensor is to be reported periodically), then the reporting inverval is the value of the corresponding configuration parameter 111 through 113, rounded up to a multiple of the Wakeup Interval.
Example a)
- Wakeup Interval is set to 600 seconds
- Parameter 101 Temperature is set to 32 (bitcode for temperature)
- Parameter 111 is set to 300 seconds
-> Temperature report is sent at a 600 seconds interval
Example b)
- Wakeup Interval is set to 600 seconds
- Parameter 101 Temperature is set to 32 (bitcode for temperature)
- Parameter 111 Temperature is set to 1800 seconds
-> Temperature report is sent at a 1800 seconds inverval
-
Thresholds and āGroup n Periodic Reportsā can be combined.
-
āMotion Detectionā reports are reported immediately, independently of the setting of the configuration parameters above.
Reads Complicated?
Anybody who has a correction to the above?
Keep in mind, this applies only for battery powered devices!
