Features
The main and only function of the Desksense is monitoring desk occupancy.
Occupancy
The main purpose of the device is to determine the occupancy state of a desk. This is different from “dump”
motion sensors, these will transmit every time motion has been detected. The sensor determines and keeps
track of the occupancy state of a desk, only transmitting when the occupancy state of a room has changed.
This enables improved deep-sleep capabilities meaning that it uses only airtime when needed, thereby
maximizing battery life.
Desksense presence data compared to regular motion sensor.
Battery powered
The device is battery powered and can last for multiple years. Unlike other long lasting low power LoRaWAN
devices the Desksense uses standard AA alkaline batteries that are high performing, economical and can
be easily sourced as compared to Lithium Thionyl Chloride [LTC] or Lithium Manganese Dioxide [LMD]
batteries commonly found in other devices.
Over the Air (OTA) configurations
OTA configuration changes enable to optimize the sensor exactly to your needs e.g., presence sample size,
LoRa credentials, heartbeat intervals and application switches can be modified Over The Air.
Remote Monitoring
Sensor ID, sensor data, sensor type, battery level, software version, and heartbeat signals can be monitored
remotely, which is key information for asset management.
