Configure a Connect Sensor from the web UI

These sections explain how to configure a device in the Connect Sensor family from Digi Axess. The first step is to access the Automation Dashboard for Connect Sensor, either from Digi Axess or by logging directly into the device.

For information about the accessing the Automation Dashboard, and the dashboard features and configuration options, refer to:

• Access the Automation Dashboard for a Connect Sensor

• Access the device's web UI from the Device Summary page

• Configure the Connect Sensor from the Automation Dashboard menu

How are configuration changes pushed to a Connect Sensor?

By default, the Connect Sensor is configured to wake up and connect to Digi Axess every 12 hours. When the device is awake and connected to Digi Axess, it pushes sensor data to Digi Axess, and then asks Digi Axess for configuration changes. If there are any, Digi Axess pushes the changes and the device applies them, restarts, and then reconnects to Digi Axess. When this process is complete, the Connect Sensor goes to sleep and waits to wake and reconnect at the next scheduled time.

You can choose to configure a wake-and-connect schedule for a device if you don't want to use the default schedule. A schedule determines the first wake-up time, the time interval between reading the sensor connected to the Connect Sensor, and how many reads should occur before data is pushed from the device to Digi Axess.
