AS-613 Command and Data Reference
This page presents the commands and packet layouts documented in the official AS-613 User Manual, Ver.1.3.1 Jul.2026.
note
Manual scope The manual does not define the Mode 1/2 zone-packet fields, the complete Mode 12 packet, several timing details, or every invalid-value behavior. A host parser must reject frames that do not match a documented layout.
Transport rules
- ASCII commands and data
- Commands in lowercase
- Command terminator: LF or CR
- 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control
- Supported baud values: 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600
- Default baud: 460800 bps in the protocol section
- Command-table initial value: 921600 bps
- Command responses begin with
=and end with! - Send the next command after the previous response
- Allow several hundred milliseconds or more after commands that reset or fast-reset the module
Response types

Command reference
Flow and reset
| Command | Documented values | Purpose / notes |
|---|---|---|
start | Runtime | Start data output; also reactivates from idle. Initial frames may contain buffered state. |
stop | Runtime | Stop data output while internal detection continues. |
pwr | 0..3; source discusses defaults 2/3 inconsistently | 0 idle; 1 minimum output; 2 initial/factory output; 3 configured output. Values 1-3 apply immediately. |
reset | - | Software restart, retain settings. |
freset | - | Restore factory settings; changed baud is documented as retained. |
mreset | - | Restore active mode only; other mode settings retained. |
Identification and mode control
| Command | Documented values | Purpose / notes |
|---|---|---|
ver | Query | Return model/date/time/version string. The manual example is not a production requirement. |
info | Query or 1..100 s | No argument: settings blocks. Timed value: real-time coordinates; not supported in Mode 14. |
test | 0, 1 | Test output; 1 reduces wait to 11 s and stops data output, 0 restores default wait. |
wink | Runtime | Blink LED about 10 times at 150 ms intervals. |
mode | 1,2,5,6,11,12,13,14 | Select operating mode. License restrictions apply. |
exten | 0, 1 | Basic/extended packet; Mode 14 adds signed Y. No effect in Mode 12 per summary. |
interval | 1..255 × 100 ms | Output interval; waveform output can force 100 ms. |
wait | 3..43200 s; default 15 | Vacancy/no-target packet interval. |
baud | 115200/230400/460800/921600 | Set UART baud; changed value survives freset and mreset. Use 460800 for the initial connection described by the protocol section. |
Detection sensitivity and persistence
| Command | Documented values | Purpose / notes |
|---|---|---|
sena | 1..1000; default missing | Primary target sensitivity; higher is more sensitive/noise-prone. |
senb | 1..100; default missing | Secondary sensitivity; detailed semantics missing. |
senc | 1..100; default 30 | Minimum reflected-energy percentage accepted as target. |
senin | 1..9; default 6 | Entry confidence; higher can reject false targets but increases acquisition time. |
senout | 2..50 s; default 10 | Target-maintenance time. |
Geometry and orientation
| Command | Documented values | Purpose / notes |
|---|---|---|
xmin | Wall -450..450; ceiling -300..300 cm | Minimum X boundary. Mode/profile-specific limits may differ. |
xmax | Wall -500..500; ceiling -400..400 cm | Maximum X boundary. |
ymin | Wall -450..450; ceiling -300..0 cm | Minimum Y; ceiling uses negative values. |
ymax | Wall -450..450; ceiling -300..0 cm | Maximum Y; ceiling positive values ignored/unsupported. |
zmin | Wall 0..900; ceiling -300..300 cm | Minimum Z; wall uses positive values. |
zmax | Wall 0..900; ceiling -300..300 cm | Maximum Z; wall uses positive values. |
alrmin | -90..0° | Left boundary. |
alrmax | 0..90° | Right boundary. |
adumin | Negative angle; exact table range missing | Down boundary. |
adumax | 0..90° | Up boundary. |
rotate | 0/90/180/270° | Clockwise board rotation correction. |
walltilt | 0..45°; default 0 | Downward wall tilt correction in supported wall modes. |
geometry | Referenced in mode summaries; command row absent | Query/set geometry behavior requires firmware documentation. |
Waveform and vital limits
| Command | Documented values | Purpose / notes |
|---|---|---|

pulse | 0, 1; runtime | Pulse aligned to breathing-detection timing; not retained. |
hmax | Row incomplete | Heart-rate detection distance; syntax/default/range absent. |
bmax | Source says default 300 cm, max 600 cm and ≤ zmax | Breathing detection distance. Command examples/ranges are incomplete. |
Mode 12 restroom
| Command | Documented values | Purpose / notes |
|---|---|---|
rstc | 1..30 min; default 5 | Stay-time-over reference. |

hbsh | 100..300 cm; default 220 | Ceiling sensor height only. |
hbh | 10..69 cm; default 55 | Mattress-top height. At ≤30 cm, floor mattress behavior disables fall detection according to source. |
hbw | 90..160 cm in the Mode 13 description; command table shows 80..1700 | Bed width. Use the Mode 13 installation range unless working with firmware documentation that defines another range. |
hoffset | 1..9 in setup; 5 center | Correct left/right bed shift. The command text uses hoffset; one diagram labels it hboffset. |
wallside | 0 head, 1 left, 2 right | Bed direction; unsupported in wall install where head direction is fixed. |
hbds | Four HRDL bits; default 0000 | Direction disable flags; relationship to wallside requires clarification. |

doorz | Source general range 0..600 cm; profile-specific | Entrance Z or positive right-wall door distance in corner mode. |
doorwd | 80..150 cm; default 90 | Entrance detection diameter/width; source terminology must be normalized. |

Exclusion zones
| Command | Documented purpose | Conflict requiring validation |
|---|---|---|
exzon | Query/disable/enable active profile | Confirm persistence and profile key. |
exzinfo | Query count or slot coordinates | Empty-slot output and slot numbering. |
exzset | Store center/half-width rectangle | Overview uses coordinates without slot; command table appears to use slot first. |

Parser implementation notes
- Match the active mode, start character,
extensetting, and waveform setting before decoding a frame. - Validate fixed widths, signs, and decimal or hexadecimal fields exactly as shown.
- Treat undocumented packet variants and malformed frames as unsupported input.
- The manual does not define overflow, saturation, unavailable-value codes, object-index lifetime, or maximum response time.
Use the active mode, start character, frame length, and settings to select the correct parser schema.
