2.3.1 Enhanced Controlled Open Protocol
The WeR@Home
™
products intercommunicate with the Central Control Unit (CCU) within the HAN (Home
Area Network) using Essence proprietary Enhanced Controlled Open Protocol (ECOP) protocol. The
WeR@Home
™
CCU serves as the gateway between the HAN and the GSM/GPRS or Internet network.
n Between home sensors and home control units (ECOP-R).
n For external networks (control unit to the world).
n 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.

RF Technology
2.3.2.1 Radio Interface Information
The WeR@Home
™
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 WeR@Home
™
proprietary RF protocol (ECOP) in IEEE 802.15.4 standard
based on the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
n Gateway (GW) uses a band pass filter for out-of-band noise suppression.
n In-band noise is compliant with EN-300-440.
n Inter-systems disturbance – each system uses a specific, 32bits, system identifier and filters non-
conforming packets.
Power and Sensitivity
WeR@Home
™
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:
