General description
OfficeSense is a workspace utilization sensor solution for LoRaWAN wireless networks to
measure occupancy of conference rooms, desks and other office spaces, and for
monitoring the indoor office environment. The OfficeSense series consist of a Presence
sensor, a Desk sensor, an two different Comfort sensors.
The Presence sensor measures room occupancy, temperature and humidity. The Desk
sensor is used to detect desk availability and the Comfort sensor measures a mix of
different environmental variables including CO

, temperature, humidity, luminance and
noise levels. The OfficeSense sensor device is battery powered and designed to be long
lasting and it is easily deployable.
Intended readership
This installation manual is intended for the building manager, installation coordinator and
the installation engineer who physically installs the OfficeSense sensor.
What makes the OfficeSense sensor series unique?
• Intelligent presence sensor:
o Sending presence information, not motion data
o Extremely low data rates, extremely low presence updates conserving
battery power
o Built-in intelligence prevents false-positive errors
o Highly sensitive and low power PIR (passive infra-red) sensor
• OfficeSense Comfort (temperature, humidity and CO
2
)
o Send updates in a set time interval or;
o Send updates on significant difference in measurement
• Power consumption
o 4 regular AA batteries, available anywhere
o Improved deep-sleep capabilities: only airtime when needed
• Over the Air (OTA) configuration
o Default sensor configuration adjustable to needs
o OTA firmware updates (future release)
• Application switch to adjust settings
o E.g. modifiable sample times and deep sleep interval timers
• Remote monitoring for sensor maintenance
o Last seen indication
o Battery level indication
o Metadata functions also includes sensor ID, sensor type, software version,
heartbeat interval, etc.
Sensor handling
The OfficeSense sensors may be damaged by improper storage or handling. The sensor
