Let's take a look in our crystal ball to see what the future holds at Monnit?

We are proud of the relationship we have developed with our customers and partners. These relationships allow us to continually improve our products and services based on our customer's needs. Through our customer interactions, we have identified the need for a wireless Ultrasonic Distance Measuring sensors. This new sensor would be able to use ultrasonic signals to determine the distance between the sensor and anything in the signal path. If you would like to learn more about the development efforts of our team on this new product or to be notified when it becomes available, please email us at sales@monnit.com.

Monitoring Sump Pumps and Pits for Proper Operation.

Basement water problems can be caused by a multitude of issues ranging from high ground-water tables to thawing snow leaking through windows or the foundation. When these problems arise, it is common to have a sump pump and pit installed in a home or facility to remove water as it accumulates. However, pump motors can burn out and pump triggers can stick. How do you know if there is an issue with your
pump before it's to late?

Monnit provides a cost effective way to monitor the water level in a sump pit as well as sump pump operation. By using Monnit wireless sensor at the sump pit, you can be notified immediately via email or text message if water levels are too high in the sump pit, and when the pump motor turns on or off.

Monnit provides a low-cost, reliable, wireless monitoring solution that allows you to track and receive alerts for the following types of applications:

All Monnit wireless sensors come with free basic online monitoring, allowing you to view sensor information anytime from anywhere. Receive instant notifications via email or SMS text if a set sensor condition is met or exceeded.

Optimize Wireless Sensors Performance by Resetting Network

Getting the best range from your sensors can require a bit of trial and error. In this Tip, we discuss resetting your sensor network to assure your system is operating on the most optimal RF frequency in your region, giving you the most range possible. Once you have completed this process, you may also want to look at the following FAQs:

    • Optimizing Your Wireless Sensor Network
    • How To Orient Antennas for Optimal Range

Prior to Monnit shipping your wireless network, your sensors are tested in our lab. This means we form and operate the network in-house. Upon set-up, the sensors and gateway lock onto the most clear RF channel for our facility and begin communicating. The next time the sensor network is plugged in (presumably when you are installing the sensors), your network is still locked onto the same channel that was optimal in our test facilities. However, that may not be the optimal channel for YOU in YOUR location. Thus, we recommend you reset the network prior to deploying the sensors. This will help you achieve the best range for your sensor deployment.

For Gateways Using iMonnit Online Software

    • Login to your iMonnit account at www.imonnit.com
    • Click on "Manage" on the main navigation.
    • Click the "Edit" button (pencil icon) for the gateway that you want to optimize.



    • Click the "Reform" link.
    • Click "Save" to exit the edit screen.
    • Insert batteries into the sensors, or wait for the sensors to check in again.



For USB Gateways Using iMonnit Express Software

    • Start the iMonnit gateway software.
    • Insert the USB dongle and wait for the network to go active.
    • From the "Actions" menu select "Reform Network".
    • Insert batteries into the sensors, or wait for the sensors to check in again.



Your sensor network will now operate on the most optimal RF channel available in your area.
