Sleep Modes

Sleeping is crucial to the extended lifetime of any battery powered product. In order to last 10+ years from a

single battery, the Subeca Module, and any device it is integrated into, must sleep for most of its life. The

device sleeps until a timer triggers various operations such as a LoRa transmission or a reading session. It

then wakes up to transmit each message to complete a full communication session and also sleeps in between

each LoRa message. The LoRa update rate is settable through both the Bluetooth smartphone/tablet app and

Argolis (LoRa) protocol. The Subeca Link also wakes up intermittently to check local Bluetooth devices for

alarm conditions and initiates an off-schedule communication session if an alarm is triggered. The rest of the

time, it goes into deep-sleep mode.

Setup

Configuration Mode

The Subeca Module can connect to tablets and smartphones (and PCs) over Bluetooth to configure settings

and update the firmware on both (LoRa and BLE) processors.

Remaining setup can then be accomplished via the Subeca App. Certain parameters can be set over LoRa as

well.
