Waking up a Sensor Mote

How-To Video


Note: Before you begin, obtain the magnet.

To wake a new sensor mote from hibernation:

  1. Tap and hold the magnet against the back of the sensor mote.

  2. Keep the magnet in place for 5 seconds.

What to expect: 

  • The light will turn on for 1 second and then turn off.

  • The sensor mote will blink once or several times as it powers on.

  • If a gateway is already assigned and in range, the light will blink rapidly while connecting.

Troubleshooting information:

  • No light: If no light appears, try using a new battery.

  • Still not blinking: Remove the battery for 15 minutes, then repeat the wake-up process.

  • Replacement: If a blink sequence still does not occur after troubleshooting, the sensor mote may need to be replaced.
