Behavior
Start-up behavior
Using multiple energy
The device starts when you expose it to light or press the Reset
button on the back.
The Wireless Thermostat has three options for power supply:
- Organic Solar Panel
At startup, the device measures the voltage of the supercapacitor,
which is storing the energy harvested by the solar panel. If the
voltage is within the working range of the device, the device will
initiate a LoRaWAN Join-Request procedure on SF9.
- USB-C
- 2 or 4 AA Batteries (1.5VDC each)
You can use both solar and USB-C or AA batteries at the same
time. If you use USB-C or AA batteries, the super capacitor will be
charged and the solar harvesting will always be with highest
priority.
Collecting and storing energy
The energy harvested by the Organic Solar Panel is stored in a
supercapacitor. If the supercapacitor is discharged for some
reason, the device will wake-up again when it has harvested
enough power so that the voltage of the supercapacitor is within
the working voltage of the device.
Example reasons for preliminary discharge can be:
- Device installed, but not provisioned in a LoRaWAN Network
Server.
Data transmissions
Once joined, the device will execute two types of transmissions:
- Periodic, as configured
- Immediate, when something changed - e.g. target temperature
changed or movement detected in the room.
All transmissions are subject to complying with the duty-cycle
limitations of LoRaWAN end-devices.
- Gateway not present.
- The device has been stored in packaging for too long.
If you want to get started quickly, you can use the USB-C port to
charge the capacitor from a 5VDC power supply, which takes
approx 20 minutes.
The time it takes to recharge will depend on the lighting
conditions, but in a brightly lit office with 1000 lux, it should take
around 12 hours.

Installation
We recommend installing the device in an open environment
(e.g. not in a recess) at 1.5m height. Do not install the device
near big metal items as it will worsen the RF performance. Use
double-sided tape to attach it to the surface or screws and
dowels to attach the anti-theft bracket in a more permanent
manner.
Once you’ve attached the anti-theft bracket, place the device
on top so the two mounting points on the bracket correspond
with the device’s plastic. Slide down and secure with the
security bolt on the bottom.
If you decide to insert AA 1.5VDC batteries into the device, you
can use either 2 or 4 batteries.
We recommend using Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA L91. You
can insert 4 batteries as shown on the device’s plastic or 2
batteries as shown in the picture below.
When using 2 or 4 AA batteries, please make sure that all
batteries are new. If one of the batteries has lower voltage, it’s
not possible to use the full energy capacitance. That challenge
is valid for all devices operated by multiple battery cells, e.g.
your TV remote.
