==== How to turn ON the device / does the device need to be turned on? ====
Devices are turned ON from the factory by default.
It depends on ordering code used. Devices can be turned ON from the factory or come in hibernate mode and will need to be turned on by placing a magnet on the device.

==== Can I disable not-used sensors to conserve the battery? ====
From firmware version 1.2.10.Rev.4 separate sensors can be disabled. These are movement, temperature, humidity and magnetic field. Disabling accelerometer sensor will improve battery lifetime. Disabling other sensors will disable advertising only without improving battery lifetime.
However, there are options to create special order codes with assembly modifications with only one or selected sensors to be soldered and produced.
However, there are options to create special order codes with assembly modifications with only one or selected sensors to be soldered and produced. Such changes will only be considered for large quantity orders or high potential customers.
If you don't want to receive particular sensor data, but have no need for saving battery life, you can can disable the related sensor IO element in Teltonika Configurator. EYE Sensor will be still sending data, but FM will filter it according to your choice.

No, the devices only have bluetooth chip, so you have to be relatively close to the device to update configuration. No implementation of updating EYE devices via services other than EYE APP is planned in near future.

At the moment 4 sensors (Base firmware / advance mode), this is expanded up to 100 in evaluation firmware release which includes new EYE features. It will be available with 03.29.XX base firmware. You do not need to configure the MAC address but instead enter the name(or part of name) of the sensor and all sensors with that name(or part of name) will be scanned in case there are more than 100 then the ones with the strongest RSSI will be scanned and put into the packet

Angle consists of 3 Bytes, i.e.: Angle is received as 0BFFC7 in frame advertised by the sensor, it parses to:
Angle consists of 3 Bytes, i.e.: Angle is received as 0BFFC7 in frame advertised by the sensor, it parses to:
C1 – Most significant byte represents device pitch. Device pitch can be from -90 to 90 degrees.

Calibrated Power - in the Beacon protocol is a critical parameter that helps estimate the distance between a beacon and a receiving device. For example, this value is sent in Byte 29 of the iBeacon packet and is typically set to a predefined value in the sensor's configuration. It indicates the transmitting power of the beacon at a reference distance of 1 meter and is measured in decibels referenced to 1 milliwatt (dBm).

RFU - Similarly to Calibarated Power, RFU is set for Eddystone protocols. The difference is iBeacon, the calibrated power is reference RSSI value that is the expected RSSI value at 1 meter from the beacon, while for Eddystone, it's the expected RSSI value at 0 meters.

Currently Teltonika is providing beacons with pre-calibrated RSSI at 1m for iBeacon and RSSI at 0m for Eddystone that should be suitable for most use cases, however we plan to introduce user calibration in the future.

For example, temperature long term drift is 0.03 Celsius/year, so the sensor should remain accurate within expected service-life time.

It would be cheaper to purchase new sensor then to re-calibrate it. Therefore, there is no manual calibration option available/planned at the moment.
If there are any specific requirements why the sensor be must be recalibrated, please contact your sales manager with detailed description of your use case.

==== Can EYE sensors detect temperature less than -20°C? ====
It can detect less than -20°C we have been testing it in -40°C to +80°C, however, it's not recommended to use the device in temperature outside the compatible range for longer than a few hours. Temperature beyond recommended ranges will drain the battery faster than expected.

Please refer to [https://teltonika-gps.com/products/accessories/sensors-beacons/eye-sensor-en12830 EN12830] sensor for temperature logging to internal memory. Temperature data stored in EN12830 modification is accessible via EYE App or your own custom solution. We are working on firmware for FM devices to retrieve historic data as well.
Other data can be stored to internal memory but would require firmware development that is not currently planned.
