The whole platform, in your pocket.

Every device, reading, alert and trip from iMatrix, on iOS and Android. And when a sensor has no network of its own, the app collects it directly over Bluetooth and files the history in the cloud.

iOS & Android Bluetooth sensor collection Offline maps Over-the-air updates
Overview

Six tabs, one fleet.

The app is the field companion to the iMatrix dashboard — everything the desktop knows about your devices, plus one thing only a phone can do.

Devices

Gateways and sensors grouped by type, with live online and offline counts, favourites, and per-device history.

Map

Live positions, trip playback, geofences and downloadable offline regions.

Alerts

Threshold and status alerts across the fleet, filterable, and reachable from any device screen.

Reports

Fleet reporting on the same data the dashboard reports on.

Virtual Gateway

Turn the phone into a Bluetooth gateway and collect from sensors with no network of their own.

Settings

Profile, security, notifications, members, SIM inventory and update control.

Temperature sensors

Graphs built for temperature work.

A NEO-1D reports temperature, humidity, dew point, wet bulb, heat index and VPD. The app charts them the way a temperature specialist expects — sensors sharing a unit on one axis, alarm limits drawn as bands, and the underlying numbers one tap away.

Chart view: Kitchen NEO-1D over 24 hours, temperature and wet bulb combined on one axis in Fahrenheit, with alarm, warning and advisory limits drawn as bands across the plot.
  • ✓1 h · 24 h · 7 d · 30 d — switch range without losing your place.
  • ✓Combine same units — two to four sensors sharing a unit drawn on one axis, told apart by line style with a legend. Turn it off and they split into small multiples.
  • ✓Threshold bands — alarm, warning and advisory limits shaded across the plot, drawn from the sensor’s own configuration. Only limits that are actually set are drawn.
  • ✓Crosshair and tooltip — drag across the plot to read every series at that instant.
  • ✓Change against the window — current value, delta versus the period, and the min–max range in the header.
  • ✓°C or °F — values, axis and thresholds convert together, so a limit never drifts from its reading.

Virtual Gateway

Collect from sensors that can’t phone home.

Battery-powered sensors record continuously but have no uplink. Traditionally that means a mains-powered gateway on site, one per location, forever. The app removes the requirement — the phone in your hand does it while you walk past.

Signal radar

Every sensor in range placed on concentric rings by received signal strength. Tap a node to open that device.

−65 / −75 / −85 / −95 dBm

Check-in schedule

Sensors wake on their own cadence. The app shows which is due next, counts it down, and lists anything overdue.

next check-in · overdue

Live throughput

Separate Bluetooth and cloud meters with sparklines — the read and the upload as two distinct things.

B/s · records · pending

Waterfall feed

A card per collection session with per-sensor charts and any reading that fell outside its limits.

per-session history

Stored-history drain

Pulls the sensor’s logged history, not just its current value, so a gap while nobody was nearby still gets filled.

time series + events

Event history

Door and status sensors record events rather than samples. The app reads those too, including openings from weeks ago.

open · tamper · duration · count
All in range & on schedule 2 units missed check-in Excursion in stored data
Map

Where everything is, live.

Vehicles and sensors on one live map, with a connection indicator so you always know whether what you’re looking at is current.

  • ✓Filter by kind — all devices, vehicles only, or sensors only.
  • ✓Geofences — boundaries shown alongside live positions.
  • ✓Offline regions — download map areas before going somewhere without coverage.
  • ✓Follow mode — keep the map locked to a moving asset.
  • ✓Trip playback — replay where a vehicle has been, not just where it is.

Engineering

Built so a reading is never lost.

Collecting over Bluetooth means holding the only copy of some data for a few seconds. The app is engineered around that responsibility.

Confirm, then erase

A sensor is never told to clear its memory until the cloud confirms it has the readings. If the upload fails the data stays on the device and is collected next time.

persist → upload → confirm → erase

Survives being closed

Readings are written to disk before anything else happens, so force-quitting mid-transfer costs nothing.

durable outbox

Refuses rather than guesses

If the app cannot positively identify which channel a reading belongs to, it declines to upload it. A wrong value in your history is worse than a missing one.

default deny

Works offline

No signal is a delay, not a failure. Readings queue on the phone and upload when connectivity returns.

queue & retry

Updates over the air

Fixes arrive without an app-store round trip, with the exact release number visible in Settings.

OTA channel

Phone and tablet

On a tablet the Virtual Gateway splits into radar and live feed side by side; on a phone the same views are a swipe apart.
