Sensor (FAQ)

The ROOMZ sensor is connected to our ROOMZ server and gets its “Action Plan”, containing the planned meeting timeframes. From the meeting start, the sensor will check the first 15 minutes (time is adjustable) if there is any movement in the room. If there is no movement, the meeting is considered a “Ghost-Meeting,” and the sensor will send the logs to the ROOMZ server, which will release the meeting so the room will be “Free” again. In addition, you can view the sensor data in our basic and advanced analytics, for example, you’ll have information like “Room booked but not used” or “Room not booked but used”, and more.

What do the blinking LEDs mean when switching on the Sensor?

  1. First double LED > Startup succeeded

  2. First single LED > Battery check (green, orange, red)

  3. Second single LED > Network + Server check (green connect ok, orange connect to server failed, red connect to WiFi failed)

  4. Second double LED > https://roomzio.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SUP/pages/282689574

If the connection to the server takes too long, the 3. single LED might not show and skip directly to the 4. double LED detection check. This usually means the connection failed. Check with https://roomzio.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SUP/pages/283017245 Terminal what is the problem / why the connection is slow.

Is the Sensor detecting other stuff or recording conversations?

No, the sensors detect mainly movement; there are components to detect the noise level and humidity of the environment, but no conversations or anything else is recorded. More information under the following link https://roomzio.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SUP/pages/282984449

EMC / Radiation from ROOMZ Sensor

ROOMZ products conform 100% to all the valid EMC standards in Switzerland and the European Union. The declaration of conformity is available to download under ROOMZ • Conformity documents

Some further details:

  • The measurement principle is infrared passive and does not cause any radiation (no radar measurements!)

  • The connection to our server runs over WiFi and is extremely “low power” and energy-saving. The autonomy is therefore over 3 years with a small battery

  • An average of 10 connections with the server are made per day, each connection takes about 3-5 seconds. This corresponds to an extremely low duty cycle of only 0.05%. For the remaining time (i.e. 99.95%) the WiFi module of the sensor is completely switched off

  • A WiFi connection is only established when the state of the desk changes, i.e. from “free” to “occupied” or the opposite. If a worker remains seated at the desk, no regular connections are created

  • The radiation power of the WiFi module in operation is about 20 times lower than that of a smartphone

Does the auto-release function delete the whole series of recurring meetings?

If an “auto-release” takes place, the appointment in the room calendar is shortened to the release time, and the room is released again. For series appointments, only the current appointment is adjusted
