Chapter 5: Using the Command Line Interface
Setting the Alarmed to Normal Delay for DX-PIR
This command determines the value of the Alarmed to Normal Delay
setting for a DX-PIR presence detector.
externalsensor <n> alarmedToNormalDelay <time>
Variables:
• <n> is the ID number of the environmental sensor that you want to
configure. The ID number is available in the BCM2 web interface or
using the command "show externalsensors <n>" in the CLI. It is
an integer between 1 and 32.
• <time> is an integer number in seconds, ranging between 0 and 300.
Examples
This section illustrates several environmental sensor configuration
examples.
Example 1 - Environmental Sensor Naming
The following command assigns the name "Cabinet humidity" to the
environmental sensor with the ID number 4.
externalsensor 4 name "Cabinet humidity"
Example 2 - Sensor Threshold Selection
The following command sets the environmental sensor #1 to use the
default thresholds, including the deassertion hysteresis and assertion
timeout, as its threshold settings.
externalsensor 1 useDefaultThresholds true
