4. Use the app to configure the Sentinel Next

see data relevant to the sensor such as
current temperature, battery voltage,
firmware version, etc.

Unless otherwise instructed by Aginova,
leave the Data Server setting to the
default value.
Select the Sampling Period you want
and press Done.
Select the Connection Period you want
and press Done.
Sampling means how often the sensor will collect a
data point. Connection Period is how often the
sensor will upload the stored data points to the
server. No ULP means sensor will send data every
time it collects it.
You can also set a Static IP address or
use DHCP. We recommend using DHCP.
Press “Configure Now” to continue.
The app will display a message
indicating the sensor was configured
successfully. Press “OK”
The Mode LED on the Sentinel Next unit
will change from solid green to a
periodic blue blink. The Mode LED will
blink at the same rate as your selected
Connection Period in the previous step.

5. Register your sensor
When configuration is complete, the app will automatically open the Hosted Portal registration page
using your iOS device’s web browser. You can alternatively open a web browser on an internet
connected computer and go to http://lyra.aginova.info to complete registration.
If you do not yet have a username and password for the Hosted Portal, click the “You don’t have a
login yet?” link on the log in page and follow the instructions to create your login and register your
sensor.
The Sensor Key is a numerical value located on the label on the back side of the sensor.
If you are already a registered user on lyra.aginova.info, you can skip this step and simply log in.
Once logged in go to the List of Sensors page and click the “Register a sensor” link in the lower right
hand corner of the page.
