viaSens vs Thyra Config

The app “viaSens” is used to do the commissioning of the SAUTER Smart Sensor viaSens. It gives you access to the configuration parameters of the SAUTER Smart Sensor product range. The connection to the Smart Sensors is established locally via Bluetooth LE. As soon as the Smart Sensors are provisioned to be in a Bluetooth mesh sensor network, the app locks all the sensors into the Bluetooth mesh network. The Smart Sensor App “viaSens” has been developed for provisioning the sensors to be part of a Bluetooth mesh network. The following functions are supported in the app: • Handling of several projects with Smart Sensors • Creating different Bluetooth mesh networks in the project • Discovering and selecting of Smart Sensors • Adding Smart Sensors to be part of the Bluetooth mesh network • Configuring of the Smart Sensor, incl. configuration of the IoT connectivity (MQTT) of the Smart Sensor gateway • Locking Smart Sensors to be part of this unique Bluetooth mesh network. In addition, following functions are supported in the app as well: • Import / Export of configuration data • Firmware update of Smart Sensors (OTA with WiFi) • Live View of sensor including commanding LED ring in Bluetooth LE mode (Demo Mode)

The Thyra Config App is a standalone mobile application designed for installers and commissioning engineers to configure, manage, and maintain LOYTEC ThyraLite Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) enabled devices, including the LOYBT-PP20A and LOYBT-PP20A-EM zone controllers, as well as the broader range of LOYBT devices such as sensors, actuators and io-modules. As part of the ThyraLite Lighting Solution, the app provides a secure and intuitive interface for commissioning and operating standalone lighting zones. Installers can configure lighting control parameters, select control profiles (Vacancy, Occupancy, Daylight Harvesting, or Manual), adjust zone and lightband settings, perform sensor calibration, back up and restore device configurations, and execute firmware updates over Bluetooth.
