Where is the procedure for installing sensors?

The installation procedure for each sensor is given in the installation manual.

Who installs the sensors?

You can connect most of the sensors yourself. We have created a detailed step-by-step guide for you. Even without IT knowledge. We recommend that the counters are installed by a specialist. Sensors for remote energy readings are also an exception - they are always connected by our technicians.

How long do the batteries last in the sensors?

The battery in the sensors can last up to 5 years. But it depends on the amount of data sent. The first batteries are part of the sensor package; others can be purchased in our e-shop.

What if the sensor has a Not Responding status?

Please try restarting the device either with the reset button (according to the package leaflet), or disconnect the sensor and connect it to the power supply if the sensor does not use a battery.

Can the sensor be connected to another network for the Internet of Things?

Never. Our sensors leave preconfigured for installing in our network.

What if the municipal vehicle motion monitoring (GPS) sensor is off - status outside GPS?

The GPS unit will not return a valid position, has not targeted the satellites, but communicates outside the GPS signal.

Dashboard

What is the dashboard?

The dashboard displays data from municipal sensors, bus departures, news, official notice board, previews of camera systems.

Where can I find the address of the dashboard?

Usually on the municipal website.

Sencito municipal network

What do we need to do to get the Internet of Things network up and running in our municipality?

Just set aside 2 hours for our technicians to set up your IoT network. In practice we place a modem-sized transmitter on a municipal building, which has a range of about 2 km in urban areas and up to about 10 km in open space.

Is the data from the sensors sufficiently protected?

Yes, all the data is safe. We use encrypted connections so that the data cannot be eavesdropped on, altered, or otherwise misused.

Does the municipality have access to data from private sensors in my home?

No. Neither the municipality nor anyone else has access to data from citizens' private sensors. The same is true the other way around. The citizen does not see the data from the municipal sensors, unless the municipality makes it available to him, for example on the municipal dashboard.

What other services can be developed through Sencito?

You can easily expand our solution with other smart services - for example, a smart car park that remotely displays current vacancies, touch office boards or smart camera systems.

Sencito web interface

Who has access to the Sencito web interface?

The administrators of the municipality as well as the citizens of the given municipality have access.

Where can I find the access address?

For administrators, For citizens.
