Sensor Reboot Guide

This guide outlines the steps to reboot temperature sensors using the ACT button. Rebooting the sensor is an essential first step in troubleshooting, especially when a device is not communicating with the gateway.


When to Reboot the Sensor

  • If the sensor has stopped transmitting data.

  • If the sensor appears offline in the monitoring system.

  • If you’ve recently changed the battery and want to restart the sensor.


Reboot Procedure

  1. Locate the ACT Button

    • The ACT (Activate) button is positioned on the front face of the sensor unit.

  2. Press and Hold

    • Press and hold the ACT button firmly.

    • A green light (LED) will illuminate steadily.

  3. Wait for the Flash

    • Continue holding the button until the green light begins to flash.

    • This flashing indicates that the reboot process is complete.

  4. Release the Button

    • Once the light flashes, release the button.

  5. Post-Reboot Behavior

    • The sensor will immediately attempt to communicate with the gateway.

    • It sends a join request and attempts to re-establish its network connection.


Notes

  • If the green light does not flash, ensure the button is held long enough (typically 3–5 seconds).

  • If rebooting does not resolve the issue, check battery voltage.


This process is simple, effective, and one of the primary diagnostics steps before proceeding to advanced troubleshooting or hardware inspection.
