How to Use this Guide
The backbone of this guide is the We.R™ installation procedure – following an introduction to
the system concept, the guide takes you through the steps of identifying the system
components and their functions, preparations, and installation of the system components
(hardware and software) in the recommended sequence ensuring smooth buildup of your
We.R™ system. This is the largest section of this guide and includes basic understanding of the
setup and operation of both the components and the whole system.
The daily usage of the system (system administration) is provided in the following section, while
maintenance – on the next. Other required information is also provided thereafter.
Complementary information covering different aspects of background knowledge related to the
We.R™ are provided in the form of appendixes at the end of this guide as well.

1. Introduction
Welcome to the We.R™ Smart Home System User Guide.
The We.R™ Smart Home system enables consumers manage different aspects of their homes
such as security, safety, home automation and energy savings from anywhere and at any time
using their PCs or smart device applications.
The We.R™ system is a self-monitoring DIY solution based on the most advanced wireless
technologies that include cloud services, and remote management and automation
applications from any device, coupled with unique hardware design for consumers’ homes.
1.1. Foreword
To begin utilizing the system, it is required to link onto the We.R™ Web Application (link
address is provided by the seller or the Security Service Provider) and register as a User.
The Mobile Application, for both Apple® iPhone® (iOS) and Android™
users, may be downloaded later from the following QR-code link:
(or search within Apple’s App Store or Google’s Play for We.R™)
The installation program of these applications guides the Users through
all phases of the identification, installation and registration process.
Once the system is accessed, the registered Users may begin enjoying
its many benefits, including:
Get real time alerts in case of unpermitted access to the premises.
Protect valuables and personal belongings, based on unique living habits.
Monitor entrance and exit time of residence staff, such as the cleaner, babysitter, etc.
Be informed when kids are back from school etc.
Keep kids away from the medicine cabinet, basement and other high-risk zones.
Watch over children when they are out of sight.
Care for elderly parents when needed.
Watch for pet left alone at home.
Connect, control and manage the premises, anywhere and anytime.
Remain up-to-date with all new system and components software.
Introduction

We.R™ System User Guide
1.2. General Guidelines
Following are some general guidelines for the installation and day-by-day usage of the We.R™
system:
Batteries should not be inserted into any of the system devices until a specific step in
the installation process is reached.
Proper order of installing the batteries ensures that the various components of the
system are integrated into the system in the correct sequence.
The Central Control Unit (CCU) must be positioned at least 1 meter away from other
We.R™ system components for proper operation.
There are two types of components:
The Central Control Unit, and
The peripheral devices (devices triggering alarms or set Home Automation).
The peripherals are referred to, within this guide, as devices.
Keep the system components away from wet, hot or humid environments.
Temperature ranges:
Devices with Alkaline batteries:
Storage Ambient Temperature range: -20°C – 50°C
Operating Ambient Temperature range: 0°C – 50°C
Devices with batteries:
Storage Ambient Temperature range: -20°C – 60°C
Operating Ambient Temperature range: -5°C – 50°C
1.3. Content of the Standard Kit Box
The following Table 1 details the content of the Kit Box.
Note: Following description of the Kit Box content refers to the standard kit.

2. System Theory
The We.R™ system transforms mobile smartphones and tablets, as well as personal
computers (PC) into powerful remote control devices that help increase safety and enhance
the quality of life of families. All system components communicate with the Central Control Unit
and the CCU communicates with system servers via the cloud.
The system is based on a modular structure that is flexible in its expansion capabilities –
additional devices may be added to the system as needed.
2.1. System Topology
The system consists of the main control component – the Central Control Unit, and
sensors/detectors covering all security aspects and communication components.
It features a comprehensive and expandable sensor/detectors array that provides the flexibility
to create an ideal solution for every Small Office/Home Office (SOHO). Users can add safety
and security accessories, such as additional Cameras, for better protection and monitoring.

We.R™ System User Guide
The We.R™ wireless technology is based on Essence's proprietary Enhanced Controlled Open
Protocol (ECOP), a complete, end-to-end proprietary protocol used throughout the We.R™
system. See details in paragraph 2.3.1 below.
2.2. The Complete System Overview
Figure 3: The We.R™ Cloud Computing Network
The installed system communicates via the cloud platform utilizing the following tools:
User interface software applications:
Web software application running over the Internet and a PC, or
Mobile software application running over GPRS/EDGE cellular network with a
smartphone.
It may communicate with the server via Internet or via GPRS/EDGE cellular channels,
and
The Service Provider utilizes Internet for communication with the server and all of the
Central Control Units.

2.3. Unique Technologies Incorporated
The We.R™ system incorporates some unique technologies and features:
2.3.1. Enhanced Controlled Open Protocol
The We.R™ products intercommunicate with the Central Control Unit (CCU) within the HAN
(Home Area Network) using Essence proprietary Enhanced Controlled Open Protocol (ECOP)
protocol. The We.R™ CCU serves as the gateway between the HAN and the GSM/GPRS or
Internet network.
Between home sensors and home control units (ECOP-R).
For external networks (control unit to the world).
ECOP-X – The XML representation of the ECOP protocol.
Several types of clients (Web Server, iPhone, Windows Mobile, etc.) parse the ECOP protocol.
The ECOP-N protocol is serialized to a standard XML and is transferred to any kind of client (a
distinct ECOP-N protocol parser is not needed for each kind of client).
For details of the RF implementation of the ECOP protocol, please refer to paragraph 2.3.2.
below.
2.3.2. We.R™ RF Technology
2.3.2.1. Radio Interface Information
The We.R™ system works in a star topology where the Central Control Unit acts as the
coordinator, controlling all other sensors and peripherals.
License-free Band Disturbance
Data is sent over the air utilizing the We.R™ proprietary RF protocol (ECOP) in IEEE 802.15.4
standard based on the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
Gateway (GW) uses a band pass filter for out-of-band noise suppression.
In-band noise is compliant with EN-300-440.
Inter-systems disturbance – each system uses a specific, 32bits, system identifier and
filters non-conforming packets.

We.R™ System User Guide
Power and Sensitivity
We.R™ systems transmit with maximum allowed power according to standard EN 300 –440
(Europe), FCC CFR47 Part 15.
Pending the device, power and sensitivity are divided into two (2) main categories:
Sensitivity Power
-103 dBm (sensors) 14 dBm
-103 dBm (Central Control Unit) 20 dBm
Channels, Bandwidth and Polling
Using ECOP protocol, the We.R™ system utilizes between 1 to 16 channels.
The channel bandwidth is 5MHz.
The We.R™ systems use Beacon-enabled network intervals, about 100ms for quick
response time.
Modulation type: QPSK, 8 chips DSSS
Baud rate: 250KBPS
Low Energy Consumption
ECOP protocol is an externally low-power RF protocol based on 16 years of experience in
battery-operated devices. For example, the system uses a mechanism that significantly
reduces listening time (one of the major drains on battery life).
2.3.3. Remote Software Update
The We.R™ system and its components are being constantly upgraded with regards to the
software embedded into them and with regards to their service software packages.
There is no need for any user involvement in these upgrades as these are overall procedures
automatically activated by the Service Provider.
2.3.4. We.R™ Cloud Services
The servers of the We.R™ cloud services are the central applicative abstract unit designed for
high availability, scalability, robustness, geo-redundancy and security.
