Configuring and Recording Data from Sensors in Lists
This article explains how to configure a measurement item on a list to record data from your sensors.
Prerequisites
Ensure you have an active sensor and gateway configured in Jolt.
Verify that Jolt is receiving regular sensor readings from the gateway.
Setting Up a List with a Sensor Item
Log into the Jolt Web Portal and navigate to Sensors.
Identify the Sensor — note the name of the sensor you want to connect to.
Navigate to Edit Lists and select the list you want to add the sensor item to.
Add a Measurement Item to the list.
Configure Input Methods — scroll down to Available Input Methods, check the Sensor option, select the sensor name from the dropdown, and save the list.
Recording a Sensor Reading in a List
Navigate to the configured list. The sensor item will display the sensor input method icon.
Tap the Record button to fetch the latest sensor reading. Once recorded, the item shows the temperature and is marked complete.
Tap the Input Method icon to switch between sensor, probe, and manual input methods as needed.
Additional Information
If a sensor is offline, the Record button is disabled and "Sensor Unavailable" appears. Switch to another input method to record a temperature.
Only device admins can enter readings manually when manual input is not an available option.
The sensor item will show low battery and poor signal alert icons when those conditions are detected.
