meshify Smart Temp Sensor
The device is a sensor that can detect water, temperature, and motion events. It can be mounted on a wall or secured with a zip tie. The device has a battery and can be activated by pulling the battery pull tab or pressing the ON button. The device also has a signal strength feature to ensure it is in an area where it can transmit and receive messages from the gateway without interference.
Device Specs
- Dimensions: DIA: 88mm, H: 33mm +- 1mm (w/o mount), H: 33.5mm +- 1mm (w/mount)
- Weight: w/o Battery: 93g (3.28 oz), w/Battery 123 g (4.34 oz)
- Mounting bracket: 12 g (0.42 oz)
- Temp Rating: -40degC to 60degC
Device Activation
To turn the device on, hold the ON button down until you hear a beep, then release the button. You will see a quick BLUE led flash, followed by a blinking PURPLE light for up to 40s followed by either:
- On Successful Join:
- IF GOOD Signal: Three beeps and blinking GREEN light
- IF OK Signal: Three beeps and blinking YELLOW light
- IF POOR SIgnal: Long Tone and blinking RED light
- On Fail to Join: Long Tone and solid RED for up to 30s. Device has powered down at this point
Note: If the device was put in stealth mode and then turned off, you will need to press the button for 2-3s to power on and activate power on the sequence above.
Mounting
The device can be mounted in two ways – wall mount or zip tie mount.
-
Wall Mount
- With the wall side text facing AWAY from the sensor, align the mount to base of the sensor then quarter turn CLOCKWISE until slight click
- The mount should now be locked into place
- Attach wall mount strip to the designated area on the mounting bracket
- Press the sensor and mount the assembly to the desired surface for 30-60s to secure the adhesive to surface
- To remove the sensor from the mount, the quarter-turn sensor
COUNTERCLOCKWISE
-
Zip Tie Mount
- With ‘This side out’ text facing AWAY from the sensor, align Mount to base of sensor, quarter turn clockwise until slight click
- The mount should now be locked into place
- Slide a zip tie through the designated slots (2) on the mount
- Attach sensor and mount assembly to the desired surface with zip tie
- To remove the sensor from the mount, the quarter-turn sensor
COUNTERCLOCKWISE
Leak Rope
To connect your leak rope, plug the headphone jack of the rope into slot in the desired sensor. Ensure the connector is pushed in as far as it will go.
Temperature Probe
To connect your temperature probe, plug the headphone jack of the probe into slot in the desired sensor. Ensure the connector is pushed in as far as it will go.
Detecting
Detecting a Water Event
If a water event is detected, the device will send an alert to the designated user’s email or phone. If the device is NOT in stealth mode, it will also begin to beep as soon as an event is detected, once every 5 seconds until the sensor is removed from the water event or the leak rope is dried. There will be no LED indication on a water event.
Detecting a Temperature Event
If a temperature event is detected, the device will send an alert to the designated user’s email or phone. Appropriate action should be taken by the customer.
Detecting a Motion Event
If a motion event is detected, the device will send an alert to the designated user’s email or phone. Appropriate action should be taken by the customer.
Signal Strength
To check signal strength of a sensor, press and hold the button for 1-2 seconds. The device will begin flashing the PURPLE light for 10-30 seconds.
- IF GOOD Signal: Three beeps and blinking GREEN light
- IF OK Signal: Three beeps and blinking YELLOW light. It is recommended you find a place closer to the gateway and try the signal test again, to avoid the risk of missed messages or other problems
- IF POOR SIgnal: Long Tone and blinking RED light
- If NO SIGNAL is detected at all, the device will go solid red for 5 seconds and long tone

Signal Strength
Signal strength performs a check to see if the device is in an area where it is able to transmit and receive messages from the gateway, without interference
- To check signal strength of a sensor, press and hold the button for 1-2 seconds. The device will begin flashing the PURPLE light for 10-30 seconds.
- IF GOOD Signal: Three beeps and blinking GREEN light
- IF OK Signal: Three beeps and blinking YELLOW light. It is recommended you find a place closer to the gateway and try the signal test again, to avoid the risk of missed messages or other problems
- IF POOR SIgnal: Long Tone and blinking RED light
- If NO SIGNAL is detected at all, the device will go solid red for 5 seconds and long tone
Stealth Mode
Stealth mode is the silencing of the beeping on devices. If stealth mode is desired, this process must be followed individually for each sensor via web platform:
- This capability is available and can be activated on a sensor-by-sensor basis via Protect
- when stealth is entered, The device LED will go from GREEN BLUE
- when stealth exited The device LED will go from BLUE GREEN, with 2 short beeps the setting will be applied without any acknowledgment from the sensor.
Low Battery Voltage
- Alert sent to the platform for notification purposes
- Low Battery Voltage is indicated on the device through a continuous beep and red flash of the LED once every 10s until the batteries are replaced or batteries die. This is triggered when the device reaches 2.3V
- The 2.3V default listed above can be changed via a downlink message to the device.
Chirp (finding a lost sensor)
- Once the sensor receives the downlink, it will begin beeping three times in quick succession every 5 seconds and blinks BLUE until the user finds the device and pushes the button, or the “chirp” session times out.
- The timeout of the chirp session is defined by the user and can be > 1 min and <900s, defaults to 900s
Device OFF
- To turn the device off, hold the button down until it beeps. around 6 seconds. The button should be BLUE while you are holding it down and will turn RED when power down commences.
- After 6s, the device will beep once and the light will turn solid red until the device is powered off (up to 30s), then the light will turn off
