The operation function of Mesh Node

The mesh node is usually to put on higher position such as ceiling, so therefore a high capacity battery or using AC adaptor is to supply power to mesh node.

When power is switched on, this node is ready to receive a packet signal with same specific UUID from a beacon. If signal is received a green LED light will be lit on shortly to represent a packet received, meanwhile a mesh packet message will be sent out to the other mesh node, relay node or gateway node.

It is noted that this mesh node is without battery charging function.

The operation function of Relay Node

If the mesh packet message can not be propagated to far distance Gateway Node. A Relay Node is necessary to be used between mesh node and gateway node for the purpose of message long distance propagation.

When relay node receive a mesh packet message with a same group and device address, it will lit on green LED light shortly and send this message to the other mesh node, relay node or gateway node repeatedly.

Since relay node is also located on the higher position, the high capacity battery or using AC adaptor is to supply power to relay node. It is noted that this mesh node is without battery charging function.

The operation function of Gatyeway Node

When this gateway node received a mesh packet message from some mesh node or relay node and green LED is flash for a while. It represent that the positioning transition communication is finished.

At the same time, this gateway node will send this received information to PC or micro controller. The following test diagram is depicted the whole communication construction.

The operation function of Beacon

When this device is set to be Beacon. The beacon will send out beacon message to mesh node in every specific time slot. After sending out message, green LED is flash for a while to indicate a message is transmitted.

Since a battery is built in this beacon, so when battery power is low, a yellow LED is flashed. User can plug in 5V power to micro USB port, and a yellow LED will always lit on till battery power charging full.

In addition, if beacon is long time no moving, a built in sensor will detect and enforce beacon to entry sleep mode to save battery power, and when a sleep time out, beacon will be wake up and continue to sending message.

A special function of this beacon is with emergency calling, if user need to help, just clicking emergency button to notify control center to deal with the special case, at that time, a red LED will be lit on, till user click emergency button again.
