What are sensor categories?
Sensor categories are used to organize and sort sensors, allowing you to monitor items that are sensitive to temperature or weather conditions. Depending on the number of places you would like to observe, you may want to change your sensor categories as you repurpose your sensor devices for other items that need tracking.
