First, check that your sensor is not already connected! Press the RESET button once (short press) and watch the status LED. If you see a solid BLUE (cyan) colour for 5-10 seconds, the unit is already connected to the network
In the TankMate app, go to Settings > Sensor / Tank Settings > Edit Network Settings
Put the sensor into BlueConnect mode: on the side of the sender unit - hold the RESET button for 6-8 seconds then release.
The status LED will blink slowly - dark blue - when in BlueConnect mode
The unit will go to sleep to conserve power after 3 mins. Click RESET again to wake it up.
Follow the prompts in the app. Further details on the BlueConnect process can be found here.
NOTE: as of November 2023, all v2 sensors must be running firmware version 21 or above. Sensors running an older firmware version will not be able to send data to the TankMate server - and will need to be manually updated. Contact us for details.
The firmware version no. can be seen on the (expanded) home screen of the app.
NOTE: WiFi passwords that include the $ symbol are not currently supported by some older TankMate sensors. We recommend modifying the password, or setting up a guest network with a different password.
