Updated this week

In this article:


Step 1: Prepare Your Monnit Hub

Before setting up your sensors, you need to set up the Monnit Hub:

  1. Unbox the Monnit Hub and all its components:

    • 1x Hub unit

    • 1x Power cable

    • 2x Aerials

  2. Connect the power cable to the DC-24 port. The lights will blink, indicating the hub is powered on.

  3. Attach the two aerials securely and position them at a 90º angle.

Important: The hub is pre-configured with a SIM card for internet connectivity. Do not remove the LAN port cover or attempt to connect the hub via a router.


Step 2: Set Up Your Monnit Sensor

Your Monnit sensor arrives without the battery installed. To turn it on:

  1. Unbox the Monnit Sensor unit.

  2. Use a screwdriver to remove the single screw on the sensor cover.

  3. Insert the battery into the slot, ensuring correct battery placement (+ and -).

  4. Secure the sensor cover back in place using the screws.

This is possible for Tablet Manager, Managers, Admins and Internal Auditors

To connect your Monnit Sensor, follow these steps:

  1. Log into the Mobile App.

To view your Sensor Readings:

  1. Log into your Admin Console

  2. Select the Dashboard

  3. Select the Sensor tab

  4. In the view, you should see your readings


Understanding your Readings

When viewing the sensor dashboard, the table displays:

  • The Sensor ID - this is displayed on the sensor unit

  • Equipment - This indicates what Item the sensor is assigned to

  • Hub ID - This indicates what hub the last temperature reading went through

  • Last Reading - Indicates when your last reading was received by ComplyFood (for healthy readings, it should be within 15 minutes)

  • Last Battery Voltage - Displays your battery health/strength

  • Last Temperature - Displays the most recent temperature received

  • Last Signal Strength (dBm) - Displays the most recent reading's strength. The higher the number the better.

Note: : Signal Strength is displayed as negative integers. -100 is Lower than -50. The higher the number, the better. Healthy ranges are usually around -120 to -50
