- Trigger(Out range): Trigger will turn On when current temperature NOT between the preset upper and lower temperature
* Different Trigger Limit will be shown below the operation row after
different Operation is chosen
** All Temperature Trigger Limit Range is -80 to +150°C
*** Current temperature will advertising in Minor in all trigger
operation too
**** Preset Normal Minor/ Alt. Minor will be replaced by the temperature
when sensor is enabled
***** If temperature sensor interval larger than advertising interval,
beacon will keep reporting the last temperature value in Minor until the new
temperature reading received
