SENTS Essential · Control system for sensory spaces

Centralise the control of lighting and electrical resources in a sensory space from a touchscreen tablet, without relying on an Internet connection or cloud services.

SENTS Essential is a control system developed by HANDYCAT for sensory spaces, multisensory rooms and environments intended for relaxation or emotional regulation. Its intuitive interface makes it easy for therapists, professionals and users to control the resources in the room.

The two plug-in receivers included can switch any connected mains-powered device on and off. Resources equipped with compatible SENTS modules can also provide additional functions, such as colour selection and light intensity adjustment.

The set includes

• 1 touchscreen tablet of less than 10 inches, configured for SENTS
• 1 router dedicated to the SENTS local network
• 2 preconfigured SENTS plug-in receivers for switching electrical equipment on and off
• 1 SENTS control application, developed by HANDYCAT and preinstalled on the tablet

Direct control of every resource

SENTS does not automate the session or replace the decisions of the person leading it. It provides direct and immediate control of each resource, allowing the sensory environment to be adapted at any time to the activity, the user’s preferences or the objectives of the session.

From the tablet, the user can:

• Switch the connected electrical equipment on and off
• Identify and control each resource individually
• Select colours and adjust the intensity of compatible lighting resources
• Modify the sensory environment as the session develops

Local operation without Internet

SENTS operates through its own dedicated local network. It does not require an Internet connection or cloud services, and its wireless communication makes it easy to install in both new sensory spaces and existing rooms.

The receivers are supplied preconfigured for the SENTS network. The customer completes their setup in the application by assigning each receiver a name and identifying the equipment it controls.

A modular and expandable system

SENTS Essential is the initial configuration of a system designed to grow with the sensory space. Additional plug-in receivers, SENTS modules integrated into HANDYCAT resources, compatible RGB lighting controls and accessible interaction devices can be added as required.
