SECTION 8: CONNECT TO WI-FI

The Freezer Sentry device is immediately ready to join your 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi network after power up. When the Freezer Sentry has not been configured to a Wi-Fi network the Cloud LED will display as WHITE, and the access point is active (the unit will broadcast its Level Sense Wireless Network. Refer to section 6).
There are a series of articles on more advanced troubleshooting for WI-FI connections under the Troubleshoot section which is found on the upper banner of the website.
Password Requirements for Your Local 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi Network:
SSID (Local Network Name) and Password are Case Sensitive You must have a password 8 – 48 Characters in Length. The following Characters are not supported in Wi-Fi Passwords or network names at the moment: <> \ ^ ‘ { } “ %
THIS APPLIES TO CONNECTING WITH WPS OR CONNECTING WITH HOTSPOT!

1. Hotspot Method:
   a. To connect your Freezer Sentry to your Wi-Fi network via the hotspot mode, you will need a Wi-Fi enabled device like a smartphone or laptop. The Cloud LED of the Freezer Sentry should be white which indicates the device is broadcasting a Wi-Fi hotspot. Use your Wi-Fi device (phone, tablet, or computer) to connect to the Level Sense network (the last four digits of the Level Sense network is the last 4 digits of the device’s MAC address). Your phone may indicate that this network has no internet connection. This is normal.
   b. Once connected to the Level Sense network, a Wi-Fi configuration page will automatically appear. If this page does not appear automatically, then open a web browser and enter the device’s IP address into the address bar: 192.168.4.1
   c. On the webpage, you will select the bubble of YOUR HOME 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi network. Next you will enter the PASSWORD of YOUR HOME network.
   Note that this field is case sensitive.d. Once complete, you can enter your Level Sense account email address into the email address field (If you do this, the device will automatically link to your account, and you will NOT be presented with a claim code). Lastly, press the submit button.
   e. The webpage then instructs you to click the RESET button on the Freezer Sentry. After restarting, the Cloud LED will pulse yellow until it connects to your Wi-Fi. Upon successful connection the device will either…
   i. Present a claim code (all four LEDS on the device will blink in unison (Proceed to Section 9)
   ii. The Cloud LED will change to pulsing blue, followed by blue on the other 3 LEDs (Proceed to Section 10). This indicates that the device has been successfully linked to your account, and no claim code is needed.
   iii. The Cloud LED changes to red (No local internet connection). This can be caused by an incorrect password for the Wi-Fi network, or the network is out of range. If this happens, press the RESET button to try again. If it does not connect on subsequent attempts, please reference Section 13 for instructions on how to perform a password reset.

SECTION 9: CLAIM DEVICE

If you typed in your E-Mail address on the Wi-Fi configuration page (as seen in the previous Section), then your device will be claimed automatically, and it will be in your account upon login in the portal (if you do not see the device, refresh your screen). If you did not enter your E-Mail address on the Wi-Fi configuration page, it will be necessary to claim the device. Once the Freezer Sentry is connected to your wireless network, the Freezer Sentry will flash all four LEDs in unison. This is a claim code. After logging into the portal via the website or the mobile application click on the “Claim” button. Follow the directions on screen and enter the unique claim code.

SECTION 10: CONTACT INFORMATION

Once you are logged into your account on the Level Sense website, or in the mobile application, click on the “Contacts” tab or if you are using the mobile application click the “Notification” tab. Click on the plus button next to the default contact and enter your phone number, cell phone service provider, etc. Do not forget to enable both email and text options. It is a good idea to TEST both the email and text feature currently as well. Lastly, you must save and submit the contact.

SECTION 11: NOTIFICATION SETTINGS

This section will guide you on how to enable and disable sensor inputs to suit your application. On the website, you can edit the notification settings by clicking on the bell icon, which is underneath the “Alarm Settings” column. If you are on the mobile application, you will need to click on the device name, and then an action bar will show up at the bottom of the screen, click on the bell icon.

1. The first input is for the Temperature Sensor. The left side of the screen has the  lower set point, and the right side is the upper set point. Any temperature below the lower setpoint will put the device into alarm state. Also, a temperature above the upper setpoint will put the device into alarm state. A reading that is in  between the upper and lower setpoint will not cause an alarm.
   a. Delay of Temperature Alarms: This is the time for the delay of a Temperature alarm. From the time that the temperature reading is out of range, the device will not go into alarm state until the delay time is met. We recommend using a delay of 5 minutes for this sensor. If you do not use a delay, then you will get an alarm immediately if the temperature goes out of range. You may get temperature alarms when the refrigerator/freezer are opened. This is most likely not useful for most people.
   b. Temperature Offset: The Offset feature is used to calibrate your temperature sensor. In the first text box enter the number that you want to adjust the temperature by. For example, if your current temperature reading from the Freezer Sentry device is 34F, and the actual temperature in the freezer is 32F, then you will enter 2.00 into the first text box and select the minus sign into the operation text box to adjust the temperature reading to the correct temperature value. Please note that it can take up to five minutes for the offset value to take effect. Refresh your screen and refer to the Offset Equation above to verify if the offset is applied as intended.

2. The second input listed is the humidity sensor. The left side of the screen has the lower set point, and the right side is the upper set point. A humidity reading below the lower setpoint will put the device into alarm state. A humidity reading above the upper setpoint will also put the device into alarm state. Note that the humidity sensor does not have an offset function.

3. The third and fourth inputs on the screen are for a float and leak sensor. Freezer Sentry does not come with these sensors, but they can be added at any time. A leak sensor is an especially good idea as you can monitor your refrigerator/ freezer for leaks.

Lastly, you can enable and disable email, text, and the siren feature for any of the inputs by clicking on the text bubble. Do not forget to click the submit button if you have made any changes on this screen.
Alarms can be temporarily disabled by pressing the silence button on the Freezer Sentry. If an alarm cannot be quickly resolved, it will be necessary to disable the siren checkbox for the given sensor in the portal or application.

SECTION 12: VIEWING DATA

Once you are logged into your account, click on the view charts button on the website. If you are using the mobile application, first click on the device name, and then click the graph icon under the “Action Items” tab at the bottom of your screen.

SECTION 13: WI-FI PASSWORD RESET

To clear the Wi-Fi credentials from the Freezer Sentry, complete the following steps:

• Press and hold the SILENCE button until all four LEDs appear as RED.
• Let go of the SILENCE button, and then click the SILENEC button two times, two LEDS will remain lit.
• Wait until the two remaining red LEDs go out, and then press the RESET button. The password reset is complete. Proceed to Section 8 for guidance on how to get your device back online.
• The Cloud LED should be white following the password reset steps.
