HomeAware Sensor Product Information
HomeAware Sensor Product Description
The HomeAware Sensor captures layer 2 data from WIFI and Bluetooth devices (BLE) and
transmits ltered data to the cloud for classication and presence detection. The cloud
noties a user of changes via mobile app notications and makes current and historical
state information available via secure APIs to both users and third-party monitoring
services.
The HomeAware Sensor consists of two system-on-chips (SoCs), each containing a single
2.4GHz multi-protocol radio. SoC-1 supports 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low
Energy 5 (BLE). SoC-2 supports Bluetooth Low Energy v4.2.
The HomeAware Sensor operates in one of three modes: onboarding, device pairing, and
normal sensing.
In onboarding mode, only SoC #1 is active. Using BLE, the sensor connects to the user’s
mobile device for the secure transmission of the home WIFI network SSID and password.
While remaining connected to BLE, the radio attempts to connect to the home WIFI
network. Upon successful WIFI connection, and communication with the cloud, the BLE
link is dropped.
In device pairing mode, SoC #2 uses BLE 4.2 to advertise so that a mobile phone can pair
with it. SoC #1 uses WIFI to communicate pairing status to the cloud.
In normal sensing mode, SoC #1 uses WIFI for sensing WIFI devices as well as
communicating with the cloud. SoC #2 uses BLE for sensing Bluetooth devices and send to
SOC #1.
There are two LEDs on the front of the unit
• Single color BLUE LED – on in onboard mode only
• Bi-color GREEN / RED LED - indicates cloud connection over WIFI status
o Blinking green - attempting to connect
o Solid green - connected
o Solid red - error, unable to connect
There is one button on the right side of the unit
• Short press puts sensor into onboard mode
• Long press after power-on causes factory reset

User Manual
FCC Caution:
Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
IC Caution:：
This device complies with Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canad licence-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d' Innovation, Sciences et Développement économique
Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux
conditions suivantes:
(1) l'appareil nedoit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est
susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
FCC/IC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator& your body.
L'appareil est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements spécifiées par la FCC/ISED
pour les environnements non contrôlés. La distance entre le radiateur et le corps doit être d'au
moins 20 cm lors de l'installation et du fonctionnement de l'appareil.
