OR Technologies’ cloud-based analytics & lighting control platform allows its users to remotely monitor & control of lighting assets. Response Portal is remotely accessible through supported web-browsers (recommended Chrome & Safari). All Response SN3s installed constantly collect, store & communicate data on occupancy, luminaire performance & energy consumption.

Tier 4 solution by OR Technologies sits on decentralized RF mesh. When Response SN3s are powered up by default the mesh is created which has the following characteristics.

  • Auto-forming (Mesh is formed as soon as Response SN3s are powered up)

  • Self-healing (No single point of failure)

  • Self-optimizing (Automatically takes & adjust to most suitable path to the gateway)

  • Enhanced interference avoiding capability.

Each Response SN3 employs Wirepas as proprietary communications protocol to communicate over this Low-energy Bluetooth mesh. This communication transfer information from one Response node to other Response node using 27 pre-allocated channels employing frequency hopping spread spectrum. Each Response SN3 is capable of self-optimizing its route based upon low-cost mechanism in search of an Organic Response IoT gateway. Each IoT gateway comes configured out-of-the-box to connect over internet to Web-based Response Portal as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) device.

Each IoT gateway must be in the communications range of at least one Response SN3 i.e. within 5 meters LOS. Each Response SN3 has capability to connect to any gateway with low cost path if there are multiple IoT gateways in its proximity. An IoT gateway in turn can connect to any DHCP (Building specific) network by default to forward and receive information from Response Portal. Refer to IoT gateway installation guide for information on suitable location.

The Response API is automatically made available if your project gets Response Portal connected. In order to understand more on how to set up the Response API it is recommended that an API developer is engaged. Once engaged your API dev team can access more technical documentation by clicking on this link.
