Sensors

Overview

Sensors will have a standard library that will handle the basics like:

• Auto Connect – The controller will send out a beacon that all sensors will listen for. This will allow the sensors and controller to find each other and auto configure.

• Auto Configure – Once the Controller “sees” the sensor:

  • It will assign the sensor an ID and encryption key.

  • If required, if will set a timer for data retrieval.

  • The sensor will notify the controller of the sensor type.

• Auto Route – If a senor is too far away, it may communicate to the controller through one or more sensors that are also setup to be a repeater.
