Pro Tips:
- The unit sleeps to save battery, so if you want instant readings, force a wake-up by pressing the magnet to the side of the Sentry-1 3 times in less than 3 seconds.
- When mounting the Sentry-1 make ensure the the gap betweek the magnet and side of the Sentry is less than 10 cm.
- The side of the Sentry with a small plastic line is the active side that the magnet should be aligned with.
Automate Monitoring Process
You can use “Virtual Gateway” function built in the iMatrix mobile app to upload data to the iMatrix Cloud.
Note:
- The App needs to be running and within Bluetooth range to connect to the device and upload the stored data.
- The virtual gateway will upload data based on check-in time, so it can take up to 10 minutes to check in the sensor data and upload it to your account for graphs.
For better performance we recommend using iMatrix Wi-Fi Micro Gateways to scan all your sensors and upload the data over Wi-Fi to the Cloud automatically.
Note:
- Micro Gateway will automatically update your sensors with the iMatrix latest firmware.
- You can use multiple Micro Gatewas for a large facility to ensure wireless coverage.
- The sensor’s location, relative to your smartphone or Micro Gateway, is required for proper operation. Correct placement will ensure the signal is within range, and an RSSI greater than -89db is best.
