Obsolete Activity Sensors - Getting Started

Overview Unobtrusive activity of daily living and smart home monitoring sensors (such as motion, door, temperature, bed, caller-id) report wirelessly to the GrandCare System located in the residence. Using the Internet, remote Caregivers can log in to assess activity levels, pin-point specific problems, and determine alert rules.

Protocol Options

There are two transmission protocol choices: Z-Wave and Inovonics. (Legacy systems may use X10-protocol sensors.) For the protocol selected, systems require an antenna and the chosen sensors. (See the Supported Hardware List for the current selection of supported sensors and antennas.) Follow the appropriate instructions (listed below) to set up the antenna, and to set up the sensors. Systems may use sensors of more than one protocol type.

Inovonics

• Inovonics (EN4000) Antenna Configuration
• Add Inovonics Devices
  

Z-Wave

• Z-Stick Configuration
• Z-Troller Configuration
• Add Z-Wave Devices
• Add a Z-Wave Lamp Module as a Repeater on an Existing Network
  

X10

• X10 (W800) Antenna Configuration
• Add X10 Devices

Monitoring Activity

Once the antennas have been configured, and the sensors added, the Caregiver can monitor activity, and set up rules that will notify caregivers if situations they define should occur. For more information on monitoring activity, see the Activity Monitoring - Getting Started help page.
