4 Information and Installation
General:
The SmartSENSE is an All-in-One device which measures air temperature, barometric
pressure, humidity and dew point. The SmartSENSE must be connected to the NMEA2000
network and will provide the measurements via smartphone or any compatible chartplotter.
The device requires no maintenance; calibration of the digital sensors has been performed
by the manufacturer.
Connecting to the NMEA2000:
The SmartSENSE must be connected and powered up by the NMEA2000 network. Once
performing, the device will start reporting the measurements and display them on any
compatible chartplotter, smartphone, tablet or computer.
Mounting position:
When installing, choosing the right spot is important.
To ensure accurate readings make sure to choose an area well-ventilated away from wet
surfaces.
Do not place the sensor in an area where it may be flooded.
Do not place the sensor in direct sunlight during peak hours, as this could affect its data.
Heating sources causes errors when measuring humidity and temperature.
Avoid areas where the SmartSENSE sensors can be exposed to unintentional impact.
To prevent the sensor from being heated by the vessel itself, minimize the area of contact
between the sensor housing and other surfaces.
To isolate the sensor housing from metal surfaces or surfaces that can be heated from within
or other parts of the vessel use low thermal conductivity materials.

3 Connecting to the SmartSENSE
Configuration can be performed via QR code & Wi-Fi with any Smartphone or tablet.
Measurements are readable by any compatible NMEA2000 chartplotter.
3.1 Connect to the device via Wi-Fi
The SmartSENSE has an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot which allows you to connect to it with any
smartphone, tablet or computer.
Joining the device network can be done via scanning the QR code or by entering the
password from the label of the SmartSENSE unit.
Configuration via QR code scan :
Use the camera on your smartphone or tablet and scan the QR code.
Join the SmartSENSE Wi-Fi network.
Once connected, a new popup webpage will open automatically. If not, quit the camera app
on your smartphone and open your browser, the configuration webpage will automatically be
displayed.
Manual configuration:
Search the device in the list of available Wi-Fi networks
and fill the password from label on SmartSENSE unit.
Open a new page and access to the configuration page:
http://config.smartsense.com/home
Once connected to the network, you will have access to
the home page.
