1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.1. General description
The Adeunis COMFORT is a ready-to-use IoT sensor that meets the needs of users for indoor
monitoring of temperature and ambient humidity. This product is also equipped with an NFC
interface, which allows for quick and easy configuration with a smartphone.
Thermal comfort data are transmitted via a cellular IoT network (NB-IoT or LTE-Cat-M1) to a server.
No additional equipment (gateway, router, etc.) is required for data transmission.
The COMFORT integrates the LwM2M (Lightweight Machine to Machine) standard, which enables
users to achieve integration and maintenance savings, reduce deployment costs, strengthen sensor
fleet security, and optimize product battery life.
The product operates autonomously and intermittently. It measures temperature and humidity data
from the onboard sensors in "sleep" mode (PSM) and stores the data in its local memory. It then
wakes up at preconfigured intervals to transmit the stored data using the LwM2M protocol.
The product is powered by a replaceable battery pack and has been designed to work for over 15
years without maintenance (device configuration : 1 sampling every 60 mins, 1 transmission every 60
mins, LEDs enabled).

1.8. Power supply
1.8.1 Power source
The COMFORT can be powered by a double-pack of FANSO Li-SOCl2 ER18505H-2 batteries or by
an external power supply connected to a 2-pin terminal block (external power supply not provided).
When both batteries and external power supply are used simultaneously, the external power
supply takes priority.
When the external power supply is used, the product operates with the same cycle as when
powered by the double-pack batteries (PSM mode).
The certified external power supply recommended by Adeunis for use with the product is GS05E-USB
- Wall Mount AC Adapters 5W 5V 1A W/Euro Plug WallMount USB Output from Mean Well.
If another external power supply model is selected to work with the product, it must strictly adhere to
the electrical specifications mentioned above and comply with the standards EN/IEC 62368-1 and EN

61000-3-2, EN 61000-4-2, EN 61000-4-4, EN 61000-4-5. The user must independently verify the
compatibility of this power supply with the product.
1.8.2 Low Battery Management
1.8.2.1 Detection mode
When the product detects that the battery is not capable of delivering the required energy for
transmission (due to extreme temperatures or end of battery life), it waits until it is capable of
transmitting. If it detects that the delay exceeds 1 minute, it notifies the user that the battery level is
low.
1.8.2.2 User information
The user can be informed of the product's battery status either locally through the NFC IoT
Configurator application or the LED display, or remotely.
The low battery indication automatically changes when the battery is replaced or when temperature
conditions are favorable for proper battery operation.
User Information through visual indication on the product's LEDs:
The red LED flashes every 60 seconds for 500 ms if the product's battery level is low.
User Information through the NFC IoT Configurator application:
📱
Go to the "DIAGNOSTIC" section of the sensor to
check the battery status as "OK" or "LOW

User Guide | COMFORT LwM2M | NB-IoT / LTE-Cat-M1 10
User Information through an LwM2M server:
The LwM2M server can request the product to report its battery status. To do this, the user needs to
trigger a READ operation on the "error code" resource via the server, which will return the current
value of this resource, or an OBSERVE operation can be initiated.

1.8.3 Changing the double battery pack
When the low battery indicator is activated, it is possible to change the internal battery pack of the
enclosure.
It is important to use the same battery reference, namely ER18505-2.
PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING THE DOUBLE BATTERY PACK:
1. Insert a flathead screwdriver tilted towards the front of the enclosure into the opening at the top
and press. The enclosure will open in two and the front panel will detach.

User Guide | COMFORT LwM2M | NB-IoT / LTE-Cat-M1 11
CAUTION: Press gently to avoid damaging the enclosure
2. Remove the current battery and replace it with the new one, making sure to observe the polarity
indicated on the electronic board and the battery model.
3. To close the enclosure, insert the bottom of the front panel first and snap the top of the enclosure

User Guide | COMFORT LwM2M | NB-IoT / LTE-Cat-M1 12
After this battery replacement procedure, the product will automatically resume its "normal" operation
and clear the low battery indicators (status and LED).
1.8.4 Connecting the external power supply
1. Insert a flathead screwdriver tilted towards the front of the enclosure into the opening at the top
and press. The enclosure will open in two and the front panel will detach

To ensure proper product functioning and autonomy, Adeunis strongly recommends:
Selecting an operator that supports PSM mode on its own network. Note that in the case of a
roaming connection, Adeunis recommends verifying that PSM mode is also guaranteed on other
operator networks. For more information on PSM mode, please refer to the dedicated section
Selecting the technology (NB-IoT or LTE-Cat-M1) that the product will use to connect to the
cellular network
Limiting the number of frequency bands used by the product to connect to the cellular network
(for example, in France, only band 20 is used by operators)
Favoring LwM2M servers with a connection ID
Favoring the use of "PUSH" mode for product-server communication
Limiting the number of OBSERVATIONS in the case of using "OBSERVE" mode

NOTE 2 - Optimizing Battery Life by Enabling a Blackout Period
Configuring a blackout period for the main functions allows for optimizing the product's
autonomy by 10% to 20%.

User Guide | COMFORT LwM2M | NB-IoT / LTE-Cat-M1 20
The COMFORT product supports the PSM (Power Saving Mode).
The main advantage of PSM mode is that it allows the product to operate for extended periods with
reduced power consumption.
The product periodically enters a prolonged inactive phase during which it is disconnected from
the network. During these periods, the sensor does not receive signals from the network and
does not send data. This significantly saves battery power as the product does not need to
maintain a continuous connection to the cellular network.
When the product needs to send data, it exits PSM mode and temporarily rejoins the network. It
establishes a connection with the base station and transmits the collected data.
Once the data is transmitted, the product returns to a low-power consumption state.
The user can configure the following PSM parameters via the NFC IoT Configurator application:
The period during which the product is reachable by the network to receive downlink data (T3324)
The deep sleep period during which the product remains attached to the network but is
unreachable (T3412)
📱
Go to the "CONFIGURATION" menu of the sensor => Select the "NETWORK" section =>
Configure the "T3412 Multiplier," "T3412 Value," "T3324 Multiplier" and "T3324 Value"
parameters => Apply the new configuration to the product via NFC.
Please note that while the product indicates the desired reachability period and the PSM period to the
network, these trigger values (T3324 and T3412) can be modified by the network during the
attachment procedure or when updating its location (TAU).
At any time, the user can check the trigger values (T3324 and T3412) on the NFC IoT Configurator
application.
