3.4.1.1 Seconds per Tick
All periodic Tx events are scheduled in ticks . This allows for transducer reads to be
synchronized, reducing the total number of ULs required to transmit Sensor data. The minimum
seconds per
tick is 60 seconds, and the maximum is 86400 seconds (one day). Values from 1 to
59 are clipped to 60 seconds. Values above 86400 are clipped to 86400. A value of 0 (zero)
disables all periodic reporting.
3.4.1.2 Ticks per <Transducer>
This register sets the reporting period for a transducer in terms of ticks . Once the configured
number of ticks has expired, the Home Sensor polls the specified transducer and reports the
data in an UL message. A setting of 0 (zero) disables periodic reporting for the specified
transducer.
3.4.1.3 Default Configuration
Table 3-7 shows the default values for the periodic transmission configuration registers.
Table 3-7: Default Values of Periodic Transmission Configuration Registers
Seconds per tick 3600 (1 hour)
Ticks per Battery 1 (thus 1-hour period)
Ticks per Temperature 1 (thus 1-hour period)
Ticks per RH 1 (thus 1-hour period)
Ticks per other transducers 0 (periodic Tx disabled)
3.4.1.4 Example DL Messages
In the following example payloads, the Command Field is boldfaced:
•
Disable all periodic events:
o
DL payload: { 0x A0 00 00 00 00 }
▪
Reg 20 with the write bit set to true
▪
Seconds per Tick set to 0 (zero)―i.e. disable periodic transmissions
•
Read current value of Seconds per Tick :
o
DL payload: { 0x 20 }
▪
Reg 20 with the write bit set to false
•
Report Temperature every tick and RH every two ticks :
o
DL payload: { 0x A2 00 01 A3 00 02 }
▪
Reg 22 and Reg 23 with their write bits set to true
▪
Temperature Ticks set to 1 (one)
▪
RH Ticks set to 2 (two)
