What are 'Acquisition Rate' and 'Sync to Cloud'? (Logging Settings)

Log Enable

This setting determines if the sensor is logging and recording temperature and humidity data. Slide the switch ON to get live and graphed data in your app. Logging is enabled when the switch is on the right and the 'Acquisition Rate' and 'Sync to Cloud' settings are visible.

Acquisition Rate

This determines how often the sensor takes temperature and humidity readings. This can be set to occur every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes or every hour. When in battery mode, the sensor will wake up briefly at this rate to record a temperature an humidity reading then go back to sleep. Measurements will be stored locally on the sensor until it is time to post all data to the cloud. A faster acquisition rate will drain the battery faster.

Sync to Cloud

This determines how often the sensor sends logged data to the cloud for graphing and alert triggers. Syncing to the cloud can be done after 1 to 60 'Acquisitions'. If '1 Acquisition' is selected, the sensor will send data to the cloud after each measurement.  Lower # of Acquisitions for this setting will drain the battery faster.

To calculate how often the data on the cloud is updated, take your Acquisition Rate and multiply it with your Sync to Cloud Acquisitions.

For example: 

• 'Acquisition Rate' of 15 minutes and 'Sync to Cloud' of 10 Acquisition. 15 mins x 10 = 150 minutes or 2 and a half hours.
• 'Acquisition Rate' of 30 minutes and 'Sync to Cloud' of 1 Acquisition. 30 mins x 1 = 30 minutes.

The button on the sensor can be pressed to wake the device up sooner and send measurements to the cloud immediately.

The fastest the device can log in battery mode is every 15 mins and posting to the cloud after 1 acquisition. Please note that faster logging times, and more frequent posting times will drain the battery life of the sensor faster. Live updates on the temperature can be seen on the app if the sensor is powered by USB.
