Introduction

Blanket temperature sensors continuously monitor your coolers, even when your team is done for the day; protecting your inventory and improving your bottom line. You can purchase a starter pack system or additional sensors in our Supplies store in your dashboard.

Your Sensor Kit

Open your Blanket Sensor kit. In it you will find;

  • 1 cellular Blanket gateway router (either LTE or Multitech)

  • Black electrical plug for the gateway & wall mount

  • Sensors

Do not install sensors inside any equipment until after you have connected them with the gateway, and assigned them.

Set Up the Cellular Gateway

  1. Plug in the Blanket Gateway. The gateway will automatically connect to our server.

  2. Make sure the lights are on on the gateway, it may take 1-3 minutes for it to boot up, and possibly up to 2 hours for it to resync to the time-server internal clock.

Set Up the Non-cellular Gateway

  1. Plug in the Blanket Gateway. Plug in the ethernet cord.

  2. Make sure the lights are on on the gateway, it may take 1-3 minutes for it to boot up, and possibly up to 2 hours for it to resync to the time-server internal clock.

Sensor Setup Using the Mobile App

  1. Log in to the mobile Blanket app.

  2. Tap on the MORE page in the bottom navigation menu. Find Add Sensor.

  3. Follow the prompts to scan QR codes on each sensor to assign them to equipment!

It will take at least 15 minutes before the first sensor reading is sent to the system. Please wait up to 30 minutes to see data coming into the screen.
