Importing Sensoro beacons

If you haven’t ordered any Sensoro beacons yet, you can do that by contacting Sensoro: https://www.sensoro.com/. Proximi.io supports all the Sensoro beacon models.

We also recommend you to check out the previous articles in this tutorial series to get all the basic things done before importing any beacons.

Please note: Even though it’s possible to add beacons into our platform manually or using the management applications, it’s highly recommended that you use the import tool in the web portal to add the beacons in order to avoid mistakes.

1

Create a Sensoro account.

You can create your free Sensoro account from the following url: http://cloud.sensoro.com/.Click on Create new link below the login form. Once you’re redirected to a new page, fill in the form by providing your data, email, and setting up your password. Double check your data to make sure you’ve got the right email and hit the Sign up button. Check your inbox and click on the activation link - your account is created!

Add beacons to your Sensoro account
After you’ve registered and logged in, go to Device list section and click “Add Beacon” button. An instruction box opens up. You will get a QR code shown up in the box , then follow the instruction to get the Sensoro Inspection App installed. You need to scan the QR code of each beacon and add them to your account.

3

Inspect the results in Sensoro portal
As your beacons arrive, they already have some pre-configured settings. After you’ve added the beacons under your Sensoro account, you can see what those settings are. The change those values, use the same Sensoro Inspection App (you must be close to the beacons).

Import beacons to Proximi.io portal
Login to the Proximi.io Web Portal and head down to the Manage Inputs -> Mass import section. Type in your Sensoro username and password to the correct fields and click “Connect”. Tick "Remember" box, if you want the portal to store the API key for future imports. You can later disconnect the integration through the same view, if needed.

Next step is to import the beacons one by one by clicking “Import” link at the right side of the table.

Place beacons to the correct location
Select the right department and move on the beacon on the map to the correct location.

After pressing Submit, you will return to the view that allows you to import more beacons. Please note that the view shows all the beacons you have on your Sensoro account - including the ones you have already imported.
