Connect to the Connect Sensor devices near you from the Digi Axess Mobile app

You can use Digi Axess Mobile app to quickly connect to the Connect Sensor devices near you. The app uses Bluetooth to find and connect to the devices that are awake and have the mobile app service enabled on the device.

Once a device is connected to the app, you can verify that the sensors connected to the device are working as expected. This feature is intended to be used for the initial connection to a Connect Sensor.

Before you begin

On your mobile device

• The Digi Axess Mobile app must be installed.

• The Bluetooth setting must be enabled.

On the Connect Sensor

• The mobile app service must be enabled.

• You must be physically near enough to the device to touch it so that you can wake it with a magnet.

Step 1: Wake the Connect Sensor
