How to Add Devices in iMonnit
If this is your first time using iMonnit, you will need to create a new account. If you have already created an account, start by logging in.
Step 1: Add Device
1. Add the sensor in iMonnit. Add a sensor to your account by choosing Sensors in the main menu. Navigate to the Add Sensor button.
or
2. Find the Device ID. The Device ID (ID) and Security Code (SC) are necessary to add a sensor. These can both be located on the label on the side or bottom of your device.
3. Adding your device. With your smartphone camera scan the QR code. If you do not have a camera on your phone, or the system is not accepting the QR code, you may enter the Device ID and Security Code manually.
The Device ID is a unique number located on each device label.
Next, you’ll be asked to enter the Security Code from your device. A Security Code consists of letters and must be entered in upper case (no numbers). It can also be found on the barcode label of your device.
When completed, select the Add Device button.
If using the mobile App, you may scan the QR codes on the gateways and sensors with your smartphone. This scan will add the devices directly to the account without manually typing in the IDs and Codes.
Step 2: Setup
Select your use case. To get you up and running fast, your sensor comes with preset use cases. Choose from the list or create your own custom settings. You will see the Heartbeat Interval and Aware State settings.
Select the Save button when completed.
Step 3: Validation
The validation checklist will help you ensure your sensor communicates with the Gateway properly and has a strong signal.
1. Gateway is Online: Ensure that the gateway is registered to iMonnit and is connected to power with antenna(s) or an Ethernet cable, allowing it to communicate with the Internet.
2. Gateway has properly communicated with iMonnit: This step will autocomplete if the gateway communicates with iMonnit. Press the utility button on the gateway to ensure the gateway has an updated sensor list and speed up this process.
3. Make sure your Sensor is powered: Most sensors don’t have an on/off switch and will pair with the gateway as soon as they can achieve communication through a Heartbeat.
Some Sensors, such as Industrial Sensors, the Water Disc, and Vehicle Detect/Count, need to be switched on through a magnet or standard toggle switch.
Industrial Sensors also require that the included antenna be firmly attached. The sensor will communicate with the gateway every 30 seconds for the first few minutes.
4. Make sure your Sensor is checking in with the Gateway: Checkpoint 4 will only complete when your sensor achieves a solid connection to the gateway. Press the utility button on your Cellular Gateway or Ethernet Gateway to force communication.
Select the Save button when completed.
Step 4: Rules
Choose Your Rules. Rules in iMonnit are the foundation of alerts and device interactions that put your sensor data to use. Receive notifications or alerts via email, text, or voice call.
Low battery and device inactivity are among the most commonly enabled Rules.
Select the Done button when completed.
