Description of operation
The Smart Sensor viaSens is a communicative multi-sensor for room automation. As a ceiling sensor, the device operates as a motion detector and can thus detect room occupancy. The light sensor detects the brightness in the room. Together with automation, light functions are possible (constant light control, lighting control, dimming etc.). Room climate variables such as temperature, relative humidity and an index for room air quality (VOC index) are used for automation (regulation or control) together with the actuators for heating, cooling and ventilation in the room. The sound pressure level sensor measures the noise level in the room and can indicate occupancy in the room or characterise the room as a quiet zone.
The Smart Sensor has a controllable coloured LED ring on the edge of the housing. Commands to the sensor activate the LED animation profile configured in the sensor. The LED ring can indicate the room status defined with the animation profile to the user.
The viaSens116 is a Bluetooth mesh relay node. The viaSens196 can integrate up to 15 viaSens116 sensors in a Bluetooth mesh sensor network as a Bluetooth mesh Ethernet sensor gateway. The information from the meshed sensor network is communicated to the ecos504/505 room automation station via the viaSens196 sensor gateway as an MQTT client via Ethernet.
The Bluetooth beacon function can be activated for location in the room. The Mobile Room Control app from Mobile Building Services can identify the beacon in the room. The appropriate configuration for the operation and view of the room is then loaded.
