Abstract
A method of commissioning a sensor includes using a system having a central control panel, a plurality of sensors, and a cloud server. A first identification code from a first near frequency communication (NFC) tag that identifies the control panel and a second identification code from a second NFC tag that identifies a sensor of the plurality of sensor are read and transmitted to the cloud server. A learn-in code is received from the cloud server and displayed to a user. The user is prompted to activate a learn-in process by entering the displayed learn-in code into the control panel for activating a learn-in mode at the control panel. The sensor is only enabled to communicate with the control panel if the control panel determines that the entered learn-in code matches a stored learn-in code.
Claims10
A method of commissioning a sensor of a plurality of sensors with a control panel, comprising:
- reading, with a reader of a mobile device, a first identification code from a first near frequency communication (NFC) tag that identifies the control panel;
- reading, with the reader, a second identification code from a second NFC tag that identifies the sensor;
- transmitting the first and second identifications codes read from both the control panel and the sensor to a cloud server;
- receiving a learn-in code from the cloud server by the mobile device, and displaying the learn-in code to a user;
- and
- prompting the user to active a learn-in process by entering the displayed learn-in code into the control panel for activating a learn-in mode at the control panel,
- wherein the sensor is only enabled to communicate with the control panel if the control panel determines that the entered learn-in code matches a stored learn-in code.
A system for commissioning a sensor of a plurality of sensors with a control panel, comprising:
- a mobile device having a reader and a mobile application programmed to:
- read a first identification code from a first near frequency communication (NFC) tag that identifies the control panel;
- read a second identification code from a second NFC tag that identifies the sensor;
- transmit the first and second identification codes read from the control panel and the sensor to a cloud server;
- receive a learn-in code from the cloud server to the reader of the mobile device;
- display the learn-in code to a user;
- and
- prompt the user to activate a learn-in process by entering the displayed learn-in code into the control panel for activating a learn-in mode at the control panel,
- wherein the sensor is only enable to communicate with the control panel if the control panel determines that the entered learn-in code matches a stored learn-in code.
