Add a New Sensor

Using BlueConnect

• In the TankMate app, select R3 - on the "Add New Sensor" screen

• Scan the QR code - located under the base of the sensor

• Ensure the sensor is in BlueConnect mode - the status LED will blink dark blue (slowly) - when in this mode

The sensor will go to sleep after 3 minutes of inactivity. To get it back into BluConnect mode, press the READ / RESET button once, to wake it up

• Follow the prompts in the app to initiate a temporary bluetooth connection. This will only last until the sensor has been connected to the WiFi network

• A success message will be displayed after the sensor has connected to the app

On the next screen:

• Select the correct WiFi network (SSID) and enter the password

• Ensure the sensor is still blinking dark blue

• Press "CONFIRM" to send your network details to the sensor

Setting the WiFi credentials

A success message should be displayed in the app - to indicate a successful connection! Continue through the next few screens to set the tank dimensions.

No SSID listed in the app? This may happen when:

• the phone is not connected to a WiFi network

• location services have not been enabled for the app - see here

Note: The sensor should be within a few metres of your mobile phone - to ensure the temporary bluetooth connection is still in range
