S6 Device Settings ​

Manage a bound device’s name, feature toggles, language, firmware, and mount orientation.

Recommended order: device online (S3) → room created (S5) → add the device under that room → adjust settings later if needed.

6.1 Add a device ​

Only a family admin can add devices. Check that:

  1. The device is provisioned and can come online (see S3 Networking).
  2. A specific room is selected on the home page (not All devices).
  3. You tap Add device next to that room title.

Add device: enter or scan the serial (desensitized)

Step 1: Enter or scan the serial number ​

FieldNotes
Device serial15 or 20 alphanumeric characters (case-insensitive; stored uppercase)
ScanCamera icon in the input; on a PC you can also Recognize from image

Desktop scanning

Laptop cameras blur at close range. Tap Focus, step back to ~30 cm, or photograph with a phone and use Recognize from image.

Tap Next. The platform detects the device type from the serial — you do not pick the type by hand.

How the serial maps to a type ​

The first character decides:

First charDetected asWhat you fill in
BVital signs (breath / heart)Name, voice language
CPeople countName, voice language
DCeiling fallName, voice language
Any otherPostureName, feature toggles, language, plus orientation (height / tilt / X-Y / heading)

Vital / ceiling-fall / people-count devices have no 3D orientation canvas. After binding, use Live on the card for the dedicated page.

Step 2: Posture device ​

Two tabs. Fill Device settings, tap Next for Orientation, then Confirm.

Device settings ​

ParameterDefaultMeaning
Device nameempty (required)Home-page label, e.g. “Bedroom radar”
SMS pushoffRelated alerts may notify by SMS when channels are enabled
Wave voiceoffVoice prompt related to waving
Fall voiceoffVoice prompt related to fall events
Long-lie detectoffMore sensitive to long lying / staying on the ground
Language中文Device voice only: 中文 / English / 日本語 / 한국어

Tip: for care scenarios, keep fall-related options on; mute voice at night if needed.

Orientation ​

Must match the real mount. Defaults when adding:

ParameterDefaultMeaning
Radar height (m)2.5Floor to device center; keep error within ~5 cm
Down tilt30°vs horizontal; 0° or 30°
X position (m)~2.50~room length (X); same canvas as room settings
Y position (m)00~room width (Y)
Azimuth (°)90Facing direction, 0–360°

On the canvas: drag the dot to move; drag the outer orange handle to change heading. Number fields below are for fine-tuning.

TIP

Set room length/width in Room setup first. If you remount the device, update Settings → Orientation again.

Step 2: Vital / ceiling fall / people count ​

Only device name and language, then Confirm. No radar height or floor position.

After success, a device card appears under that room (online/offline, serial, type tag).

6.2 Change settings later ​

Open Settings from a home-page device card (posture devices). Two tabs:

Device settings tab (desensitized)

  • Device settings: name, feature toggles, language, version
  • Orientation: height, tilt, in-room position and heading

Orientation: height, tilt, and floor position (desensitized)

Tap Confirm to save.

Vital / ceiling-fall / people-count devices use their dedicated pages, not this form.

6.3 Device settings tab (bound posture device) ​

Same fields as when adding, plus firmware:

ItemNotes
Current / latest versionShown at the bottom
Update nowOnly when a newer build exists and the device is online and powered
Already latestUI says no update needed

Do not cut power mid-update.

6.4 Orientation tab ​

See Orientation in 6.1. Coordinates match room settings: X 0~room length (m), Y 0~room width (m).

6.5 Self-calibration note ​

Some posture devices offer self-calibration on the live monitoring page (not in this form). Follow on-screen walking steps; turn it off after the device behaves normally.

Correct vs incorrect self-calibration walking

Walk a large O inside the detection zone. Stay off furniture, edges, and out-of-room paths.

6.6 Delete a device ​

Admins can tap Delete on the card. You must bind again to reuse the device; keep the serial readable.
