Advanced Functions.
Battery Reporting.
Your TriSensor has built in battery level detection. It will automatically report its battery level to the associated
controller/gateway throughout its life until the battery is fully drained and needs replacing. The battery status will often
be displayed in the user interface of the controller/ gateway. When used properly in an optimized Z-Wave network, your
TriSensor can be powered by batteries for 24 months before battery replacement is necessary.
Recommendation:
For networks which do not offer a method to display
For the battery level of your TriSensor, it is recommended that the sensor be tested occasionally to ensure that the
batteries still hold enough charge to operate. Batteries naturally lose their charge over time.
Battery reports and when them come.
There are a few ways to update your battery status.
1. Polling
2. Battery GET command
3. Automatic Wakeup Notification Report
The most optimized method is to wait for TriSensor to Wakeup and send the battery report during this time. In order
to poll or send a Battery GET command to TriSensor, this sensor will need to report a Wakeup Report to your
gateway.
By default, Wakeup Report will be sent at an interval of once every 8 hours as well as its Battery Report.
