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 30 seconds. Values from 1 to 29 are clipped to 30 seconds. If the Seconds per
Tick
is set to 0 (zero), all periodic reporting is disabled.
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 3-4 shows the default values for the periodic transmission configuration registers.
Table 3-4: Default Values of Periodic Transmission Configuration Registers
Seconds per
tick
3600 seconds (1 hour)
Ticks
per Battery
24 ticks (24 hours)
Ticks
per Temperature
†
1 tick (1 hour)
Ticks
per RH
†
1 tick (1 hour)
Ticks
per other transducers
0
ticks
(periodic Tx disabled)
†
Temperature and RH are only compatible with Home Sensor Base and External Connector
models. In Home Sensor PIR, they should be disabled for the PIR function to operate properly
(i.e. the Temperature and RH ticks should be set to 0). This limitation is only applicable to Home
Sensor modules
before Rev D
.
