      General special sensor functions

      Do you want to understand how special sensor functions such as vandalism detection or the Delta feature work?

      Here you will find the documentation for generic special sensor functions

      Special cross-product sensor function

       Name Products Description
      Delta Feature ALL  
      Vandalism detection Apollon-Q, Neptun  
      Opening detection Apollon-Q, Neptun  
      Double Tap Febris  

       

       

       

       

      Function: Delta features

      Let's assume that the sensor measures and transmits at 12:00 and is in the default settings (_property_meas_period = 30, _property_alarm_pause = 6). At 12:10 the level changes by 100mm (> _property_alarm_delta). The sensor sends the new fill level at 12:30. If nothing changes all day after 12:30, the sensor transmits at intervals of 3 hours from 12:30 (_property_alarm_pause x _property_meas_period). Measurements are still taken every half hour (property meas_period).

       

      Function: Vandalism detection

      The following parameters can be set.

      Key
      Description
      Unite
      r/w
      vdetect
      Activates vandalism detection: 0: Vandalism detection off 1: Vandalism detection on
      		  
      rw
      vdelta
      Maximum time that may elapse between two impacts for a vandalism alarm to be triggered after the number of impacts.
      sec
      rw
      vlimit
      Number of impacts, of which a maximum of two may be within the impact delta interval for the vandalism alarm to be triggered.
      		  
      rw
      vstren
      As soon as the acceleration is greater than the set vstren value, an impact is counted.
      mG
      rw
      vcool
      Specifies a period of time in which another vandalism alarm cannot be triggered after a vandalism alarm has been triggered.
      min
      rw

       

       

      Funktion: Öffnungsdetektion (Opening Detection)

      Key
      Description
      Unite
      r/w
      Open Cooldown
      		 Specifies a time period in which a further opening cannot be triggered again after an opening has been triggered (debounces the openings). The last counted opening serves as a reference value.
      sec
      rw
      Open Alarm After

      Indicates how long the cover must be open before an alarm is triggered
      sec
      rw
      Open Source
      Indicates which source has been selected for opening detection: 0: None (opening alarm deactivated) 1: Accelerometer 2: Hall
      		  
      rw
      Magnetic Field Behaviour
      Specifies the operating mode of the Hall sensor: 0: Container is closed when magnet is applied 1: Container is open when magnet is applied 2: Sensor counts an opening when magnet is passed twice
      		  
      rw
      Open Alarm Enable
      Activates or deactivates the open alarm: 0: deactivated 1: activated
      		  
      rw
      Property Open Alarm Enable
      Specifies whether an alarm is triggered after the Open Alarm After time when the container is open 0: Alarm not active 1: Alarm active

      📢 After joining or registering, the sensor waits for the propertyopen_cooldown time until the opening counters are active. These are set to two minutes by default

      Apollon-Q Flap opening detectionUntitled (97)

      Flap opening detection is detected by a rotation around the x-axis. 

      The sensor must be mounted on the flap as follows:Untitled (98)

      A flap opening detection is detected by opening the flap as shown in the following image:
