The Skydome detects the opening and closing of a roof window. It uses its onboard accelerometer to measure its own tilt angle. The sensor regularly measures the angle and transmits data over the ultra narrow band, long range, low power, secure SigFox™ radio network.
The SKYDOME SIGFOX® sensor is an on-board batteryoperated system. It controls the position of a roof window, an opening by checking its inclination.
The inclination is checked periodically (configurable period). If an inclination threshold is exceeded (thresholds "opening" and "re-closing" configurable), an alert is immediately transmitted on the SIGFOX® network.
The SKYDOME sensor regularly transmits an information frame (configurable period) on the SIGFOX® network.
The battery voltage is raised.
Powered by a battery, the sensor autonomy is greater than 8 years for a configuration with a position check every 10 seconds and a radio transmission per day. The Sensor is attached to the opening, if possible on the inner inside (or outdoor if radio attenuation is significant)
from adhesive tape provided. It can also be fixed by screws (not supplied) on the opening when possible.
The sensor must be clear of any metal parts that could strongly attenuate the radio frequency transmission.
