Overview & Battery Information ▲ The EMS2 desk sensor is a wireless LoRaWAN® sensor for indoor environments that measures desk occupancy. It can also measure temperature and humidity. The compact design makes it ideal for mounting under desks. As you're deploying these in your smart office in combination with the GoBright solution, please ensure you have the GoBright Advanced Gateway (AGW) installed. This article covers the AGW Batteries are not included. The EMS2 requires 1 x AA 3.6V lithium battery. Standard 1.5V batteries are not supported and will not power the device. When using the recommended batteries, you can expect a battery life of up to 5 years, depending on usage. Calculate the battery life for your device Buy batteries direct from Elsys Checklist ▼ ✓ A smartphone with the GoBright app installed. This is available for free from both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. ✓ Full admin access rights for your GoBright account. ✓ The GoBright advanced gateway (AGW) that has been configured and commissioned. We've put together a full guide of how to get up and running in this article. ✓ Bluetooth and NFC enabled on the smartphone. Installation Recommendations ▼ Ensure the sensor has a clear line of sight to the member of staff sat at the desk. Place the sensor far enough back under the desk to avoid accidental damage. For optimal occupancy the sensor should be placed between 10 and 20cm from the edge of the desk. However, the sensor can detect occupancy of up to 50cm with a 60° field of view.Do not place the sensor near heat / cooling equipment such as under-desk heaters. Commissioning Steps ▼ Carefully remove the cover from the device and power it up with the AA 3.6V battery. The LED on the device will quickly flash red and green at the same time. The LED does not constantly stay on, but flashes every 30 seconds after that. Open the GoBright app on your phone and select the 3 grid lines in the corner and then Admin tools. Select LoRa Sensors and then Commission a Sensor. The sensor vendor you need is Elsys. You will now see the following: Hold your phone to the rear of the sensor to retrieve the information. You'll then see the following screen: Link the sensor to the appropriate desk, room or parking space. On the next page select Commission Sensor. It will then ask you to confirm the link, so hold your phone to the rear of the sensor again. All done! You will automatically be directed to the following page (same as step 3). However, on this page, select 'LoRa Sensors' and you will see the sensor that you've just commissioned: This is also shown in your GoBright portal under Settings > Devices > Sensors. You can update what room / desk / parking space the sensor is linked to easily in the GoBright portal or the app. The Portal & Hardware ▼ Now you see in the GoBright portal that the desk is showing as occupied (amber). And... The image shows when an Interact is linked to the new desk sensor and no booking is in place, but someone is sat at the desk.If an upcoming booking is in place, you can also enable the 'check-in by occupancy sensor' so the Interact will change from amber to red automatically when someone sits at the desk.

Nureva HDL410Best Practice for Camera Zoning Before installing a camera zoning solution to integrate with your Nureva audio solution, we recommend you refer to the below information and important links.You can find comprehensive instructions on installing and configuring a Nureva / camera solution on the Nureva Support site.This article gives guidance you may not find online, plus some Top Tips that we have picked up. Understand the customer requirementsWhen integrating the HDL410 for camera zoning, you can install up to 3 cameras covering different areas of the space.A typical use case may be a presenter / audience configuration, with a camera facing the front of the room for presentations and another 1 or 2 covering the audience.We also see this in use in larger meeting rooms where a single camera struggles to cover the entire room.If you have any queries about this, please contact Ascentae for advice.  We can even offer a full pre-installation consultancy service to help with this. Understand the limitations of the technologyThe HDL410 will deliver X,Y co-ordinates to an Inogeni Cam230 camera switcher, enabling it to switch to a camera relating to a specific zone in the room.It is then a function of the camera to Pan, Tilt and Zoom within that zone.  Additional camera software may be required to enable this.Zones cannot overlap – or be too close together – as this could result in the cameras switching incorrectly.Both the HDL410 and Inogeni CAM230 MUST be connected to a network and the HDL410 MUST have internet access and be enrolled in Console Cloud.Choosing the correct cameraThe Inogeni CAM230 allows up to 3 cameras to be integrated – 2 USB and 1 HDMI.  Alternatively, a 3rd USB camera can be supported using the Inogeni U-CAM convertor.This gives great flexibility and allows different types of camera to be used depending on the application.For example, a framing camera (such as Huddly L1) could be used to accurately frame a presenter as they move around the front of the room and a PTZ camera could be used for the audience.  A 3rd, static camera could be trained on a whiteboard to capture the content when someone is writing on the board.Positioning of the Nureva Sound BarsIt is strongly recommended that the 2 sound bars are mounted on opposite or adjacent walls to provide the most accurate sound location data. As with all installations of Nureva sound bars, ensure the sound bars are not mounted directly above a screen or other obstruction.We have found that any obstructions underneath the sound bar can cause problems with accurate sound location data, so ideally they should be mounted with nothing underneath them.  However, if this is not possible, refer to the Microphone clearance requirements guide for details on how to install.https://support.nureva.com/docs/installation-hdl300-microphone-clearance-requirements-and-recommendations-2   Creating camera zonesBe aware that unless your room is acoustically perfect, X, Y coordinates will always have a margin for error.Ideally, make your zones generous and leave at least 50cm gap between them.  If zones are too small, or too close together, in room echo can cause inaccuracies and cause the camera to switch unnecessarily.It is generally better to have the system revert to the default camera than to focus on the wrong person or continually switch cameras if someone is sat on the edge of 2 zones which are too close together.Watch out for reflectionsCameras are dumb and can easily be confused by reflections in windows.Be mindful of setting presets that can catch reflected images, or setting the camera to track in areas where windows will reflect if it’s dark outside.Ideally, curtains or blinds will not only avoid this issue, but have the additional benefit of reducing echo and reverberation in the room and so improve performance of the HDL device.If in doubt, Ask AscentaeWe are here to help.  Please ask if you need any guidance, or would like to engage us to do a consultation on HDL and camera integration.Available ResourcesInogeni Integration FAQ’s - https://support.nureva.com/docs/technical-faqs-hdl410-and-inogeni-cam230Inogeni Integration Guide - https://support.nureva.com/docs/integration-guide-hdl410-and-cam230

Enabling Map Viewer Hardware For Map Routing - On Site Installation Instructions1. Background In Q4 of 2025, GoBright launched a new routing feature for their mapping solution. This is for live directions to resources (rooms, desks, parking. lockers and spaces) on map viewers.2. TestingThe tech team at Ascentae have worked alongside the GoBright team and tested this extensively, and we're impressed with the functionality. This is a great addition to the GoBright platform.3. CommissioningIf you have purchased a commissioning package with us, we'll configure the portal remotely. However, there are some steps that on-site engineers will need to perform which cannot be carried out remotely. Please see sections 4 & 5.4. Important Info & Key PointsOnly V2 of the Map Viewer supports this functionality. If you're running V1, you'll need to switch.The Map Viewer must support WebView (enabled in developer mode).We'll guide you through this in the next section.5.
