Motion Sensor Installation Guide
Sensor Overview Motion & Occupancy The Motion Detection Sensor detects motion and movement using a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensing element. The element detects relative changes in temperature caused by people or animals moving through the viewing area. Once the sensor detects movement, it communicates with the Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System. The cloud […]
Water Detection Puck Installation Guide
Sensor Overview The Wireless Water Detection Puck Sensor detects when water is present by completing the circuit between the two probe points (exposed stainless steel metal screw heads) on the bottom of the sensor. When the detection state changes (water present or absent), the Water Puck Sensor will immediately turn on the radio and transmit […]

Select the sensor you want to edit Select the Cog icon for settings […]
Window Filtering on Sensors That Support a Configurable Window Filter
Some sensors, offer a Window filter that will be used to filter readings on the sensor level. Adjusting this filter to your application can help use our sensors per your application. Although suggestions as to which filter to use for which application is currently not provided by MSG, an Applications Engineer might be a useful […]
If Your Sensor Displays a “Short Detected” Error
The error Short Detected indicates that the sensor’s hardware has detected a short in the circuitry. This article will advise on possible causes and solutions to this error. Possible causes Corrupted configurations Physical damage to the sensor Liquid Ingress If a sensor sees an electrical signal of an unexpected level, the sensor will record an […]
ISO 10816 and Standard Vibration Sensors
Vibration Monitoring has its roots in maintenance engineers inspecting machines during their traditional walk around. It attempts to formalize an instinctive understanding that a machine is vibrating unusually. ISO 10816 establishes the general conditions and procedures for measurement and evaluation of vibrations from the non-rotating parts of machines (essentially the vibrations transmitted from the moving/rotating […]
Wireless Humidity Sensor Installation
This tech-tip is meant to give to give some suggestions for installing wireless humidity sensors for your application. Mounting Your Sensor Before mounting your sensor, check to make sure the sensors has been added to your viewmysensors account. Sensors must be registered to a gateway to be operable. To register 1. Open ViewMySensors from […]
How Does the Notify After Aware Period Notification Work?
This article will illustrate how the Notify After Aware Period notification works and our recommended set up. How Does the “Notify After Aware Period” Notification Works? When the server receives a message from the sensor, it looks for notifications assigned to the sensor. If the server determines there is an active “Notify After Aware […]
