==Sensor Types==
==General Setup==
[[File:Z-Wave.png|right|frame|Motion Sensor]]
:[[Steps for Setting Up a System]]
There are 4 different categories of activity sensors:
:[[Tools to Bring to an Installation]]
* [[Motion Sensors|Motion Sensors]]  
:[[Online Care Portal]]
:: - used to detect motion, no motion, excessive motion, and wandering motion, and levels of activity
:[[Touchscreen PINs]]
* [[Door Sensors|Door Sensors]]  
:[[Network Setup]]
:: - used to detect open and closed, and which can also be used on drawers, cabinets, windows, etc.
:[[Calibrate Touchscreen|Touchscreen Calibration]]
* [[Bed and Chair Sensors|Bed & Chair Sensors]]  
:[[Weather|Weather City Settings]]
:: - used with a pressure mat to determine when someone is or isn't in the bed or chair
:[[Date and Time Settings]]
* [[Action Buttons|Action Buttons]]  
:[[System Settings|Additional System Settings]]
:: - wearable pendants, which send a notification to selected caregivers when the button is pressed<br /><br />


Sensors are all battery-operated and wireless. An antenna attached to the system receives the signals. During the initial setup of the system, the installer will pair the Resident's exact sensors to the system, and help set the ideal placement for the sensors in the home.<br /><br />

==How  Do the Sensors Work?==
==Wellness Devices==
You decide how many sensors to use, and where they will be located. The sensors report constantly to the system, which updates activity graphs every 15 minutes. Caregivers [[Logging In|log in to the online care portal]] and see an overview of activity for the day. If you have particular concerns (examples might be: when the Resident is in and out of bed, or when a pill cabinet is opened, or when the Resident is in the kitchen, or if the door opens at night) you can set rules that will notify you when particular conditions are met. Notifications can be by telephone, email and text.<br /><br />

:[[Bluetooth Antenna]]
:[[Blood Pressure Monitor]]
:[[Glucometer]]
:[[Pulse Oximeter]]
:[[Weight Scale]]
:[[Ear Thermometer]]


For more specifics about how to set rules and under what conditions, and what the graphs can show, please see the help pages for each sensor type.
