Description 

ISensor sens 

sens the Sensor object to be updated  

double? heartBeat 

How often the sensor communicates with the gateway if no activity recorded. 

int? 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. 10% to 75% (0 is never aware) 

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.)
