Battery Life Estimates

Based on configuration:

ConfigurationMeasurement IntervalIdle ReportingExpected Battery Life
Low-latency10 seconds10 minutes~2 years
Standard (default)30 seconds1 hour~4 years
Low-power60 seconds24 hours~5 years
Heavy router usage(Varies - relaying packets)(Varies)3-4 years

Factors affecting battery life:

  • Measurement frequency (more measurements = faster drain)
  • Transmission frequency (more reports = faster drain)
  • Mesh network role (routers relay packets, consume more power)
  • Environmental temperature (cold reduces capacity)

Data Transmission

Payload structure (example):

{
  "measurementDirectionalMovement": [
    {
      "deviceId": "df1b0c93-60a2-4cc9-8646-762fc1d2d42e",
      "entries": 3,
      "exits": 2,
      "measuredAt": "2025-01-14T10:30:00.714+00:00"
    }
  ]
}

Transmission behavior:

  • First detection: Report immediately (within 1-5 minutes)
  • Active period: Report every 30 seconds (default) during activity
  • Idle period: Report every 1 hour (default) when no movement
  • Battery optimized: Minimal transmissions when no traffic

Environmental Specifications

Operating Temperature Range

SpecificationValue
Minimum0°C (32°F)
Maximum+50°C (122°F)
Optimal15-25°C (59-77°F) for best PIR detection
Storage temperature0°C to +50°C

Temperature effects:

  • PIR performance: Reduced accuracy when ambient temp close to body temp (> 30°C)
  • Battery capacity: Reduced in extreme cold (< 10°C) or heat (> 40°C)
  • Housing integrity: Standard plastic suitable for indoor 0-50°C range

Humidity and Moisture

SpecificationValue
Operating humidity8% to 90% RH (non-condensing)
Condensation toleranceNo (avoid condensing environments)
Storage humidity8% to 90% RH (non-condensing)

Real-world scenarios:

  • Indoor offices: Excellent (typical 40-60% RH)
  • Underground parking: Acceptable (may approach 90% RH, ensure non-condensing)
  • Outdoor: Not suitable (ENTRYWAY is indoor-only)

Altitude and Pressure

SpecificationValue
Operating altitude0 to 3,000 meters (0 to ~10,000 feet)
Atmospheric pressureStandard atmospheric pressure (typical indoor environments)

Measurement and Reporting

Measurement Parameters

ParameterDefaultRange
Measurement interval (active)30 seconds10s - 60s (typical)
Reporting interval (idle)1 hour10 minutes - 24 hours
First detectionImmediate(Fixed)

Data Accuracy

MetricValue
Counting accuracy (single-file)> 95% (optimal conditions)
Counting accuracy (moderate traffic)> 90% (1-2 people per minute)
Counting accuracy (busy traffic)80-90% (> 5 per minute, some simultaneous)
Directional accuracy> 95% (complete passage through all 3 PIR beams)

Accuracy depends on:

  • Single-file traffic (side-by-side passage reduces accuracy)
  • Complete passage (person walks through all three PIR beams)
  • Sufficient temperature difference (ambient 15-25°C ideal)
  • Passageway width ≤ 1600mm
