AROYA 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the AROYA system from METER Group. Prior to use, verify the sensor arrived in good condition. The AROYA system works in a wireless mesh network. A wireless mesh network allows data and files to be transferred from one device to another through wireless transmission. The AROYA system components are FCC approved (Class A) and can communicate wirelessly between each other.

AROYA 3.2.2 REPEATER (H110) AND CLIMATE STATION (H111) The AROYA Repeater/Climate Station receives data from the Sensor Nose and transmits data to the gateway wirelessly. The Repeater acts as a range extension for the network and funnels the data to the Gateway device. The Repeater operates on a Bluetooth Mesh network and relies on an active PoE connection to supply power to the device.
