OneSense is switched on. Measurements and wireless transmissions are conducted at regular intervals defined by the user or by the firmware revision. Operational mode consists of several states that are automatically switched between during normal operation: sampling, transmission and idle states.

In sampling state OneSense powers and reads the connected sensors. In transmission state, all gathered and processed sensor data is parsed into a Sigfox message and transmitted wirelessly to an antenna. The idle state takes up the remaining 95% of the operational cycle. Idle state is optimized for minimal power consumption.

Some versions of OneSense support firmware upgrade via USB. Forcing a device into bootloader mode activates all necessary routines to securely flash the new firmware. This mode can only be activated manually by the user.

Implemented only in device versions with USB. Many configuration parameters of OneSense are accessible by the user via a configuration menu. Options like intervals between Sigfox transmissions, clock setting, alarming, sensor selection, and device diagnostics.

This mode overrides all routines in progress and resets the internal microprocessor and the RF module. Hardware reset is used to engage bootloader mode. Furthermore, it is easy and effective way to clear any suspected errors.
