AltaPIRBase.SensorEdit Method
Syntax
Java
public static void SensorEdit(Sensor sens, Double heartBeat, Double awareStateHeartBeat, Integer enterAwareStateWhen, Integer timeToReArm, Integer sensitivity, Integer reportImmediatelyOn, Integer failedTransmissionsBeforeLinkMode);
Parameters 
Description 
Sensor sens 
sens the Sensor object to be updated  
Double heartBeat 
How often the sensor communicates with the gateway if no activity recorded  
Double awareStateHeartBeat 
How often the sensor communicates with the gateway while in the Aware State  
Integer enterAwareStateWhen 
Determines which reading of the sensor will trigger the aware State. Closed = 0, Open = 1, and StateChange = 2.  
Integer timeToReArm 
The time in seconds after a triggering event that the sensor will wait before re-arming itself  
Integer sensitivity 
Sensitivity of the PIR Sensor. Sensor will quickly and consistently detect a full sized adult(5'8", 170 Lbs) moving across the sensor face facing perpendicular to the sensor at the given range. The sensor can detect beyond the given range but it may be inconsistent or only trigger if there is a more significant infrared change (multiple adults moving across the sensor face, single adult moving across the sensor face while facing the sensor and jumping up and down, adult with more exposed skin area, etc.). The ability of the sensor to detect an object is directly related to the ability of the sensor to see a rapid change in the background temperature. Coats, hats, gloves, or other insulative clothing will reduce the sensors ability to detect the subject.  
Integer reportImmediatelyOn 
 
Integer failedTransmissionsBeforeLinkMode 
The number of transmissions the sensor sends without response from a gateway before it goes to battery saving link mode. In link mode the sensor will scan for a new gateway and if not found will enter battery saving sleep mode for 2 hours before trying to scan again. Lower number will allow sensors to find new gateways with fewer missed readings. Higher numbers will cause the sensor to hold it setting in a noisy RF environment better. (Zero will cause the sensor to never enter link mode. to find a new gateway channel the battery will have to be cycled out of the sensor.) 

Allows for the update of the specific type of sensor.
