Adding a sensor position - Amazon Monitron

Adding a sensor position

When you pair a sensor to an asset, you record the type of position. The type of position tells Amazon Monitron how to assess the position when it analyzes the data from that sensor.

You can create and update asset positions from both the Amazon Monitron web app and the Amazon Monitron mobile app. Using the apps, you can:

  • Add a new position to an existing asset

  • Add a new position to new asset

  • Pair a new sensor with an existing position

  • Add a new position to an existing asset without assigned position
