UnaBell LTE-M User Manual
An uplink message is sent from the device to the cloud platform
A downlink message is sent from the cloud platform to the device
The device counts the number of clicks detected and sends the
count in an uplink message at pre-configured intervals
The device immediately sends an uplink message when a click is
pressed
The heartbeat mode can be selected along with Event or Occupancy
modes. A heartbeat message is sent periodically by the device to
inform the user on battery life, changes in configuration etc
The device sends an uplink message as it identifies the state has
changed between Open or Closed States
The state when the external connector is in the open state, for
example: the reed switch has the magnet away from it = open
The state when the external connector is in the closed state, for
example: the reed switch has the magnet next to it = closed
A countdown timer used in occupancy mode which would be reset
every time the external connector detects a state change to
distinguish if a state is in open or closed states
The period of time from which the debounce timer starts to
countdown so if no state change is detected past the occupancy
duration (and the timer countdown reaches 00:00) then the device
identifies the space as open
External I/O (Input/Output) are the sensors or accessories that can
be plugged in to communicate with the device
In edge mode, the device can detect the status change of
accessories
In pulse mode, the two-wire accessory can be used as an extension
It shows the status of accessories:
Reed Switch: the magnet is away from it/next to it
Two Wire: disconnected/connected
