2.3 Main Features and Use Cases
Table 2 – TMY07 Features
| Supported Features | Configuration on the Platform required? |
| Intelligent Tracking | Yes |
| Wake-up Mechanisms | Yes |
| Position Monitor | No |
| LBS | No |
| Blind Zone Compensation | No |
| Battery Level Detection | Yes, if battery level alert is needed |
| Optical Sensor | No |
2.3.1 Intelligent Tracking
Always On Mode can be set on the Platform in case of an emergency (e.g. theft) so that the real-time location of the device can be monitored. Upon receiving the tracking command from the Platform, the device switches into Always On Mode. In this mode, the device periodically reports the location information to the platform following a pre-configured reporting interval until a stop tracking command is received. For more details, please refer to Chapter 3.4.1 Introduction.
2.3.2 Multiple Wake-up Mechanisms
The TMY07 supports multiple wake-up mechanisms:
- The user can set a wake-up interval on the Platform to awake the device periodically
- The user can modify the device wake-up time schedule on the Platform in order to wake-up the device at a fixed time. A device can be configured for one wakeup time point, which is used for more accurate positioning and for a better connection to the server
- The wake-up feature must be set and enabled from the Platform
2.3.3 Position Monitor
The Position Monitor feature is enabled by default, which means the TMY07 will report location information in every report. The information includes: Position fix technology (LBS/GPS), longitude and latitude, cellular signal strength, battery voltage, cell ID, etc. All the device information reported is displayed on the Platform.
For further information, please refer to Assets Management Service – Device List section in ThingsMatrix Service Platform User Guide.
2.3.4 LBS
LBS provides the location information by utilizing the carrier network signal. It is enabled when the TMY07 does not have a GPS location information. Please note that LBS is largely dependent on distance to surrounding network cell towers, which could be up to a few miles away in worst-case scenarios. It is not as accurate as GPS.
This feature is enabled by default. The LBS data is displayed on the Platform. Please refer to Assets Management Service – Device List section in ThingsMatrix Service Platform User Guide to get further information.
2.3.5 Blind Zone Compensation
When the device enters a cellular connectivity/coverage blind zone (limited or no cellular signal), it will store the collected data according to the preconfigured reporting frequency, and will upload this data to the Platform once the cellular signal is recovered. The maximum number of blind zone compensation data reports is 4096.
This feature is enabled by default on the Platform.
2.3.6 Battery Level Detection
The device will upload the battery level status together with the location coordinates. The battery level will be displayed on the Platform.
The device, by default, reports power information without any additional configuration on the Platform. Please refer to Assets Management Service – Device List section in the ThingsMatrix Service Platform User Guide to get further details. The device will report the low battery alarm to the platform when the battery power is lower than 20%. If the user wants to change the battery level alert, this can be done by configuring a policy on the Platform. Please refer to the Data Management Service – Policy section within the ThingsMatrix Service Platform User Guide.
2.3.7 Optical Sensor
The TMY07 has a built-in optical sensor. When the device is removed after installation and the sensor is exposed to light, it will be activated immediately and the TMY07 will send a “DEVICE_REMOVED” alarm message to the Platform, together with the current location data.
Information relevant to the “DEVICE_REMOVED” alarm is displayed on the Platform (including alert icon, alert record, etc). Please refer to Assets Management Service – Device List section in ThingsMatrix Service Platform User Guide to get more details.
Working Modes
3.1 Introduction
The TMY07 has four working modes: Always On, Periodic, Flight, and Motion.
User can select the working mode according to a specific use scenario (refer to Table 3).
3.2 Usage Table
Table 3 – TMY07 Usage
| Working Mode | Use Case |
| Always On | 1. Always On Mode is used when the device needs to be active all the time and upload the location data according to the interval preconfigured by the user. 2. Always On Mode is active all the time, preventing the device to enter sleep mode, and thus increasing battery consumption. |
| Flight | 1. Flight Mode is used for a device that will be transported on an airplane, since it will have no need for an active communication link or to report data. When Flight Mode is active and the accelerometer detects that the device is in continuous motion, it will shut down all communications until the device is in static state. At this point it will return to the timing report state. 2. The difference between Flight mode and Motion Mode is the data reporting when in continuous motion. |
| Motion | 1. The device’s default mode is Motion Mode, which is mostly used for fixed location assets (usually kept static). The report interval needs to be set according to the Motion/Static Mode. 2. The difference between Flight mode and Motion Mode is the data reporting when in continuous motion. |
| Periodic | 1. Periodic Mode means the device will report the data according fixed report interval. The default value is 5 mins. |
3.3 Parameter Table

3.4 Always On Mode
3.4.1 Introduction
Always On Mode is used when the device needs to be active at all times and location data is uploaded according to the interval preconfigured by the user.
3.4.2 Configuration Example
If the device is required to report data once every 60s, then the user must select Always On Mode. The parameters of Always On Mode can be configured on the platform as shown below: 
3.5 Motion Mode
3.5.1 Introduction
Motion Mode is used when the reporting interval needs to be changed based on an asset’s mobility or fixed status.
When the device wakes up in Motion Mode and continuous vibration/motion is detected, it will report data according to the preset reporting interval.
If not moving, the device will go back to sleep.
3.5.2 Configuration Example
If the device needs to report data once every 5 minutes while in motion and once every 24 hours otherwise, the user can turn on Motion Mode and set the following parameters: 
3.6 Flight Mode
3.6.1 Introduction
Flight Mode is used when a device will be transported on an airplane. If continuous motion is detected, it will shut down all communications until the device is in a static state, at which point it will return to the timing report state.
3.6.2 Configuration Example
If the device is required to run on Flight Mode and wake up every hour, then the parameters can be configured as follows: 
3.7 Periodic Mode
3.7.1 Introduction
In Periodic Mode the device can only report data in fixed intervals. It can be used if there are no specific requirements.
3.7.2 Configuration Example
If the device is required to wake up every 24 hours, then work continuously for 5 minutes while reporting data every 150s, Periodic Mode can be configured as follows:

- Slow blinking: The indicator light flashes one times in 2s
Green LED
- Off: Cellular module off
- Slow blinking: Acquiring cellular signal
- Fast blinking: Cellular module attached to network
- Solid on: Successfully connected to the platform
Blue LED
- Off: GPS off
- Slow blinking: Acquiring GPS location
- Solid on: GPS fix successful
6.2 SIM Card Installation
Open the SIM card holder cover, insert the SIM card into the SIM card holder.
Ensure that the SIM card is properly placed.
Close the SIM card cover.
Please take note of the ICCID on the SIM card and make sure that the SIM card has an active subscription for the required cellular network.
6.3 Device Power Up
After the SIM card is installed, move the power switch to the ON position (Please refer to the picture of section 6.1, move the power switch to the right). When the blue LED starts blinking, the device is powered up.
6.4 Device Installation
Close the top cover after the device is powered up.
Peel one side of the supplied 3M double sided tape and place it on the bottom of the device (optical sensor side), making sure not to cover the sensor.
