Setup

This page will walk you through setting up your sensor. This include downloading the app, pairing your sensor, and setting up notifications.

Connect the Sensor

  • Download our app here:
  • [Altrara Battery Monitor only] Connect the Altrara Battery Monitor directly to a battery using the Altrara SAE Cable or connect it to the OBD2 port in your vehicle using the Altrara OBD2 SAE Cable.
  • [Altrara Temperature and Altrara Movement sensors only] Install 2AA batteries in your sensor.
  • Pair your sensor.
    • In order to pair your sensor, you need to have a strong wifi signal. Make sure your wifi is strong where your sensor will be located. If the wifi signal is weak, consider purchasing a wifi repeater to strengthen the signal. The sensor will not pair and check in correctly if the wifi signal is weak.
    • Make sure your cell phone is connected to the wifi network that you want your sensor to connect to.
    • Open the Altrara app on your phone and click "Add Sensor".
    • The app will scan for a sensor and show it once it's found.
    • Enter a sensor name and verify the wifi credentials (network name and password).
    • Click "Link Sensor".
  • Your sensor is now connected and you will see it in the app.
