Abstract
The invention relates to a sensor (1) for detecting environmental parameters, comprising a transmission device (3) by means of which an output signal of the sensor (1) can be emitted, and a correction device (4) by means of which the sensor measurement value can be corrected for the emission of a correct output signal, which sensor is to be easy to produce, and wherein only a small output is to be required for a method for calibrating a sensor of this type. According to the invention, the sensor is calibrated by means of the correction device thereof, on the basis of cloud-based data.
Claims11
A sensor for detecting environmental parameters and generating an output signal corresponding thereto and having a quality-of-service indicator of signal quality, the sensor comprising:
- a transmitter that can emit the output signal of the sensor, and
- an adjustment device for adjusting a sensor measurement by emitting a correct output signal for initial calibration of the sensor by the adjustment device on the basis of cloud-based data by
- initially setting the quality-of-service indicator to a characteristic value and, after a predetermined operating time without calibration, lowering the quality-of-service indicator below the characteristic value, and
- after calibration resetting the quality-of-service indicator to a value above the characteristic value.
A method of calibrating a sensor for detecting environmental parameters, the method comprising the steps of:
- initially calibrating the sensor for emitting correct output signals on the basis of cloud-based data having a quality-of-service indicator set to the characteristic value, and,
- after a predetermined operating time without calibration, lowering the quality-of-service indicator below the characteristic value, and after calibration resetting the quality-of-service indicator above the characteristic value.
