| Introduction
The HelioNode is an enhancement to the existing SmartNode. It has all the features of a SmartNode and additionally, features like light, occupancy, temperature-humidity, and CO2 sensor are built into it.
| UI Navigation
You can navigate the HelioNode UI using the four navigation buttons provided in the HelioNode as shown below.
Initially, when you switch on the HelioNode the screen displays the room temperature along with the damper percentage with the relay values for the device.
Press the right navigation button to go to the next screen.
| Inputs
The inputs screen is displayed
- Further press the down navigation button.
More inputs are displayed.
The inputs screen displays the following inputs, the below table lists the inputs available on the screen and the source which populates the same on the screen.
| Inputs | Source |
| Rm Temp |
You can see the room temperature information received from the sensor/Sensors (in case more than a few sensors are daisy chained) connected to the device. Note: When an external sensor is connected to the HelioNode for sensing, the Room Temperature from the external temperature sensor, takes precedence over the temperature from the HelioNode onboard sensor, in this field. And when more than a few external sensors are daisy-chained, the Average temperature value from the sensors is considered in this field.
|
| Humidity |
You can view the humidity information received from the sensors connected to the device. Note: When an external sensor is connected to the HelioNode for sensing, the humidity from the external sensor, takes precedence over the humidity from the HelioNode onboard sensor, in this field. And when more than a few external sensors are daisy-chained, the Average humidity values from the sensors are considered in this field. |
| Analog 1 | You can see the value captured from the Analog 1 input of the device in a range of 0-10V |
| Analog 2 | You can see the value captured from the Analog 2 input of the device in a range of 0-10V |
| Therm 1 | You can see the values captured from the Thermistor 1 input of the device in Kohm |
| Therm 2 | You can see the value captured from the Thermistor 2 input of the device in Kohm |
- Further press the down navigation button.
The other inputs are displayed.
- Further press the down navigation button.
More inputs are displayed.
Further, the inputs screen displays the following inputs, the below table lists the inputs available on the screen and the source which populates the same on the screen.
| Inputs | Source |
| Supply |
The power supply value populates from the power supply switch provided of 24V AC usually it ranges from 17 V-18V |
| Light & UVI |
The Light and the UVI value populates from the inbuilt light sensor provided.
The light value can be put to test by covering the light sensor and verifying the value change in the light parameter. |
| CO2 | The CO2 value populates from the onboard CO2 sensor provided, usually, it ranges from 400-1200ppm in general conditions |
| Pressure |
The pressure value populates from DPS (Differential pressure sensor) device which is used alongside the HelioNode to calculate the pressure created in the duct. |
| RSSI | The RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) value populates from the 900Mhz mesh network |
| Lqi | The Lqi value populates from the 900Mhz mesh network. |
| Outputs
- Further press the right navigation button.
The outputs screen is displayed.
- Further press the down navigation button.
More outputs are displayed.
- Further press the down navigation button.
More outputs are displayed.
The output screen displays the following outputs, the below table lists the outputs available on the screen and the outputs it controls
| Outputs | Outputs controlled |
| Analog 1 |
Analog out 1 connection |
| Analog 2 | Analog out 2 connection |
| Analog 3 | Analog out 3 connection |
| Analog 4 | Analog out 4 connection |
| Relay 1 |
Relay 1 connection |
| Relay 2 | Relay 2 connection |
| Relay 3 | Relay 3 connection |
| Relay 4 | Relay 4 connection |
| Configure WTH | Wireless temperature and humidity sensor paired with the HelioNode device. |
Note: The outputs can be modified using the Down navigation button to locate the required output, pressing the right navigation button to reach the value field, and using the up and down navigation button to modify the values of the outputs.
| Device Details
- Further press the right navigation button.
The device details screen is displayed.
The following table describes the information on the screen
| Field | Description |
| Pairing Address | You can see the pairing address of the device if it is already paired to a device |
| Firmware Version | You can see the version of the firmware flashed in the device. |
| Bootloader Version | You can see the version of the bootloader used in the device |
| Build Date | You can see the date when the device was built |
| Serial # | You can see the serial number of the device and the unique identifier code |
- Further press the right navigation button.
The installer options screen is displayed
- Further press the right navigation button.
More Installer options are displayed.
The installer options are the same as in SmartNode, the below table shows the options available in the installer options screen and the purpose of the options provided.
| Options | Purpose |
| Pair with CCU |
You can use this option to pair the HelioNode with the CCU for more information on pairing refer to the article HelioNode Installation |
| Pair with WTH | You can use this option to pair the HelioNode with the wireless temperature and humidity sensor |
| Enable BLE debug | You can use this option to enable debugging. |
| Change Orientation | You can use this option to change the orientation of the display. |
| Transmission speed | You can use this option set the transmission speed |
| Set Update Frequency | You can use this option to set the frequency at which you want the HelioNode to update the information displayed. |
| Transmission Power | You can use this option to modify or set a different transmission speed in dBm. |
| Avg Onboard Sensors |
You can use this option to enable or disable the temperature averaging for the HelioNode. Note: If the temperature averaging is enabled the average of the temperatures from the sensors in the bus is considered in the HelioNode, else the onboard sensor temperature is considered. For more information, refer to the Enabling and Disabling the Averaging in HelioNode |
| Diagnostic LED Control |
You can use this option to switch the heartbeat LED blinking to a different mode, than the default one ((3 sec ON and 3 sec OFF). Note: You can set the LED blinking to 0 (OFF continuously) or 10 (ON continuously). For more information refer to the Setting the heartbeat LED ON or OFF in HelioNode |
| Factory Reset | You can use this option to reset the settings to the settings what the HelioNode had when it was delivered out of the factory. |
Note: The installer options can be accessed and modified using the Down navigation button to locate the required option, pressing the right navigation button to access the option, and the up and down navigation buttons to modify options and set it.
