# Amazon Monitron components
<a name="monitron-components"></a>

Amazon Monitron includes purpose-built sensors to capture vibration and temperature data, as well as gateways to automatically transfer data to the AWS Cloud. It also comes with an application in two versions. The mobile application handles system setup, analytics, and notiﬁcation when tracking equipment conditions. The web application provides all the same functions as the mobile app except setup.

The Amazon Monitron Starter Kit, which is available at [Amazon.com](https://amazon.com/) or [Amazon Business](https://business.amazon.com/), contains five sensors and one Wi-Fi gateway. You can buy and add more sensors and gateways as needed. For more information, see [Amazon Monitron FAQs](https://aws.amazon.com/monitron/faqs/).

The following table shows Amazon Monitron components, their functions, and their use cases.

**Note**  
Vibration is measured in milimeters (mm) and inches. Temperature is measured in Fahrenheit (F) and Celcius (C).
