Setting up the Hub & Sensors
To start, you'll need to set up the Hub.
- Find a place by your internet router that's free of obstructions
- Screw on RF aerial to your Hub and the sensor aerials to your Sensors
- Connect the power supply to your Hub and turn the Hub on. This makes the power light go Red
- Take out the LAN cable. Connect this to the Hub (in the LAN port) and your Internet Router. This should make the net light flash green every few seconds. The RF light will flash blue only when the sensors send data every few minutes.
Store your sensors in a clean and easy-to-access place. Once your form is set up, you will choose the sensor within the Form.
