Detectors

GasSensor can supply two models of gas sensor which are a standard CO2 sensor and a standard CO sensor.

Gas sensor can be used to detect the air quality in a room and prevent of asphyxiation.

There is no physical consideration for this type of device. Indeed, this device is used to return a physical value. In our case, we do not care about the way the sensor gives this value.

It is necessary to have the global variable named CO2Concentration in a room if you want to use the CarbonDioxydeSensor sensor without getting errors. Likewise, it is required to set the global variable named COConcentration in a room if you want to use the sensor CarbonMonoxydeSensor.

• getSerialNumber(): Get the device ID
• getCOConcentration(): Get the current gaz (CO) concentration of the sensor in µg/m^3

• getSerialNumber(): Get the device ID
• getCO2Concentration(): Get the current gaz (CO2) concentration of the sensor in µg/m^3

Photometer can supply only one model of photometer which is a standard photometer. The photometer returns the value of the current illuminance. This value is expressed as a double, in lux units.

There is no physical consideration for this type of device. Indeed, this device is used to return a physical value. In our case, we do not care about the way the sensor gives this value.

It is necessary to have the global variable named Illuminance in a room if you want to use the photometer sensor without getting errors.

• getSerialNumber(): Get the device ID
• getIlluminance(): Get the current illuminance in lux

PresenceSensor can supply only one model of presence sensor switch which is a standard presence sensor. The presence sensor can be used to detect if someone is present in a room.

If the sensedPresence property is true then there is someone close to the sensor. On the contrary, if the sensedPresence is false, there is no one close to the sensor.

• getSerialNumber(): Get the device ID
• getSensedPresence(): Get the current status of the switch:
  • switched On: true
  • switched Off: false

MotionSensor can supply only one model of motion detection which is a standard transformation of a movement, into a signal or event. The motion sensor can be used to detect if someone is moving in a room. We describe in section MotionSensor device Outline methods linked to this device.

• getSerialNumber(): Get the device ID
• addListener(DeviceListener listener): Subscribe to motion events

Hereafter we explain methods that can be useful for the user to retrieve motion detection events.

• deviceEvent(MotionSensor device, Object value): Event triggered when the motion sensor detects a movement:
  • device: the motion sensor object
  • value: always Boolean.TRUE

PowerSwitch can supply only one model of power switch which is a standard binary switch. The power switch can switch ON and OFF an equipment (i.e.: binaryLight).

If the currentStatus property is true then all equipment in a room will be switched on. On the contrary, if the currentStatus is false, all equipment will be turn off.

• getSerialNumber(): Get the device ID
• getStatus(): Get the current status of the switch:
  • switched On: true
  • switched Off: false
• switchOn(): Set the power switch status ON:
  • switched On: true
• switchOff(): Set the power switch status OFF:
  • switched Off: false

PushButton can supply only one model of push button which is a standard binary button (is pressed, or not.). The push button can be used to notify events, for example, to send an alarm.

• getSerialNumber(): Get the device ID
• isPushed(): Get the current status of the button:
  • Pushed: true
  • Released: false

Thermometer can supply only one model of thermometer which is a standard thermometer. The thermometer can be used to have the current temperature in a room. The thermometer device returns a value in Kelvin degree for the temperature.

It is necessary to have the global variable named Temperature in a room if you want to use the Thermometer sensor without getting errors.

• getSerialNumber(): Get the device ID
• getTemperature(): Get the current temperature of the thermometer in Kelvin degree
