Operation

Transport Mode
Sensors are shipped with a plastic battery insulating pull tab that must be removed before the operation.

Default Operation
While in default operation, the device will send a join request message after booting for a minute. After joining successfully, the device will detect the ambient light every 5  minutes.
When the sensor detects the change of ambient light, it will send a status change message.

  • Status Change
    ○ ±100 lux delta

  • Keep-Alive
    ○ every 60 minutes
