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 the Aware State.  

Integer enterAwareStateWhenActivityIs 

Determines which reading of the sensor will trigger the aware State. starts = 0, stops = 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 

Set how much vibration is required before triggering the sensor. Lower numbers are more sensitive.  

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.)
