FAQ: Sensors

The Sensors feature gives you real-time insight into your assets' environmental conditions. SafetyCulture users can contact us to find out about our hardware sensors solutions or add weather data feeds powered by AccuWeather without additional hardware.

You can contact us to find out how to get on board with sensor solutions!

Yes, it does. As each country or region has its own radio frequency requirements, we will send you hardware that meets these requirements, based on your location.

Please refer to your sensor's manual for information on operating temperature range.

No, gateways and sensors connect via LoRaWAN, 3G, and 4G connections.

As long as you have the "Sensors: Manage" or "Sensors: Access" permission, you can access sensors from both the web app and the mobile app.

Web app

1. Log in to the web app.

2. Select Sensors from the menu on the left-hand side.

Mobile app

1. Open the mobile app.

2. Tap More at the lower-right corner of your screen.

We support temperature, humidity, and wind readings as part of weather data feeds powered by AccuWeather. We plan to support more weather types soon, so if there is a particular weather type you'd want to see, please let us know by providing your feedback.

We offer a range of sensors, such as:

• Temperature and humidity.

• Open & Close.

• Carbon Dioxide.

• Air Quality.

• Carbon Monoxide.

For a full list of sensors that we offer in SafetyCulture, please check this guide.

If you're an existing sensors customer, please reach out to your local SafetyCulture contact. Otherwise, get in touch if you're interested in finding out more about our sensors solutions.

One gateway can support multiple sensors. We recommend that no more than 30 sensors are connected to a single gateway to ensure reliable data transmission.

You can set up sensor alerts to notify you when a sensor's batteries need to be replaced. On average, sensor batteries should last around two years. Typically, you should receive two months' notice before a sensor's batteries fully discharge.

No, your sensors will continue to capture readings and transmit them to SafetyCulture once they're back online. We recommend that you reconnect your sensors and gateway within three days to prevent data loss.

No, your sensors will continue to capture readings and transmit them to SafetyCulture once they're back online.

Yes, you can. Learn how to export sensor data to CSV from both the web app and the mobile app.

Calibrating your sensor device allows you to adjust or offset its readings, ensuring that the data you receive in SafetyCulture is more accurate and reliable. Learn how to calibrate sensor devices.

No, you can't. Sensor alerts can only be sent to users within your organization.

Sensor escalations are a way to notify other team members when an alert remains active for a certain period.

Yes, absolutely! For any feedback or suggestions, we'd love to hear them from you!
