Parameters 

Description 

Sensor sens 

sens the Sensor object to be updated  

int measurementsPerTransmission 

the amount of assessments the sensor where take inbetween heartbeats if during these assesments the value is above or below respective triggering thresholds it will send an aware state message. 

int hysteresis 

A buffer to prevent the sensor from bouncing between standard operation and aware state when the asseessments 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 90.0 degrees and enters the aware state it will remain in the aware state until the temperature readings drop to 89.0 degrees 

double minimumThreshold 

the minimum temperature the sensor can report before it goes aware 

double maximumThreshold 

the maximum temperature the sensor can report before it goes aware 

Boolean sendSensorUpdate 

a Boolean flag that lets the sensor know if it should send up the new configuration
