LiquidLevelBase.SensorEdit Method
Syntax
Java
public static void SensorEdit(Sensor sens, Double heartBeat, Double awareStateHeartBeat, Integer assessmentsPerHeartBeat, Double minimumThreshold, Double maximumThreshold, Double Hysteresis, Integer failedTransmissionsBeforeLinkMode);
Parameters 
Description 
Sensor 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 Aware State.  
Integer assessmentsPerHeartBeat 
How many times between heartbeats a sensor will check its measurements against its thresholds to determine whether it will enter the Aware State. Warning if your sensor firmware is less than 2.5.2.0 Setting assessments greater than one will cause this sensor to not self elect follow a gateway to a new channel. if you reform your gateway you will need to power cycle the sensor for it to link on a new channel.  
Double minimumThreshold 
Any assessments below this value will cause the sensor to enter the Aware State.  
Double maximumThreshold 
Any assessments above this value will cause the sensor to enter the Aware State.  
Double Hysteresis 
A buffer to prevent the sensor from bouncing between Standard Operation and Aware State when the assessments are very close to a threshold. For example, if a Maximum threshold is set to 90 degrees and a Hysteresis of 1 degree, then once the sensor takes an assessment of 90 degrees and enters the Aware State it will remain in the Aware state until the temperature readings drop to 89 degrees similarly, at the minimum threshold the temperature will have to rise a degree above the threshold to return to Standard Operation.  
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.
