Waking up TriSensor manually.
During TriSensors normal use, TriSensor will remain in a sleeping state to conserve battery power and will continue to
detect motion and report sensors to your gateway, TriSensor needs to be awake or in an active state in order to take in
new configurations or commands. There are 2 methods of waking up TriSensor to take in new commands from your Z-
Wave gateway.
Forward wakeup report command (momentarily wake up TriSensor).
Forwarding a wakeup report to your gateway is a good way for TriSensor to take in queued commands from your
gateway. If your gateway queues commands to battery devices, you can queue as many commands for TriSensor
then perform this step to take in all of the commands at once.
1. Remove TriSensors battery cover (by unlocking then removing the cover)
2. Press and hold TriSensors Action Button until LED turns red. (2 seconds of holding)
3. Release TriSensors button.
Keep TriSensor awake for 5 minutes.
Keeping your TriSensor awake is a good way to send in commands one by one from your gateway as you are able
to with plugin Z-Wave devices that are always active. This is good for gateways that do not queue commands for
you and require immediate action.
1. Remove TriSensors battery cover (by unlocking then removing the cover)
2. Press and hold TriSensors Action Button until LED turns yellow. (5 seconds of holding)
3. Release TriSensors button.
If you were successful in keeping TriSensor awake, its yellow LED will remain solid up to 5 minutes. If your
gateway sends a NO MORE INFORMATION command back, this will instantly put your TriSensor back to
sleep right away (so if you see that yellow LED immediately disappeared, this is exactly what is happening).
You can manually put TriSensor back to sleep by tapping its button once.
Typically your TriSensor will automatically wake up once every 8 hours by default automatically.
Testing Health Connectivity.
Note - Health test does not test for routing communication health, only tests for direct communication with your gateway
to determine if it has a healthy direct connection.
You can determine the health of your TriSensors connectivity to your gateway using a manual button press, hold, and
release function which is indicated by the LED color.
1. Remove TriSensors battery cover. (by unlocking then removing the cover)
2. Press and hold TriSensors Action Button until LED turns cyan/blue color. (9 seconds of holding)
3. Release TriSensors button.
4. TriSensor will enter health communication test mode by flickering its cyan/blue LED, this will go on for about
2 minutes.
5. LED will then change to a solid color for 2 seconds to indicate its health and communication to your
gateway/controller (1 of 3 colors):
Red = Bad Health
Yellow = Moderate Health
