Parameters 

Description 

ISensor 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. 

int? enterAwareStateWhen 

Determines which reading of the sensor will trigger the aware State. Closed = 0, Open = 1, and StateChange = 2. 

int? timeToReArm 

The time in seconds after a triggering event that the sensor will wait before re-arming itself. 

int? 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. 

int? 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.)
