The RP controller expansion sensor modules, such as the Multi-sensor and Insight-Sensor, are Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices, which support applications such as beaconing and remote control communication.
The Bluetooth beacon support means that the sensor module broadcasts information that enables nearby smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices with a specific app installed to interact when in close proximity to the sensor module. The Bluetooth beacon can be used for services such as indoor positioning of the mobile device. The service and mobile app need to be provided by a third party.
For more information, see RP Controller Expansion Module Beacon .
The Bluetooth wireless connection can also be used for communication with the RP controller expansion remote control (RP-C-RC-BLE), through which the user can control the lighting, window blinds, temperature, and fan speed in a room or zone of an office building.
For more information, see RP-C-RC-BLE .
The sensor modules have an integrated antenna.
The sensor modules must be professionally installed to comply with the following rules and regulations:
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) licence-exempt Radio Standards Specifications (RSSs)
2014/53/EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) of the European Union (EU)
S.I. 2017/1206 - Radio Equipment Regulations 2017
