Herewith you will find a description to set-up FleetGO Temperature monitoring in the FleetGO application. As a starting point we assume that the FleetGO device and 1 temperature sensor is mounted in the trailer or vehicle. After the hardware is installed correctly you can start adding the sensors in the FleetGO application.

1. Add sensors

When you open your FleetGO account you will see the following menu option. Click on Sensors to start adding sensors to the account. Select new to create a new sensor.

2. Fill in the necessary fields

The following fields need to be filled in. The rest can stay empty. 

Name Name of the sensor
Display Name Name that will be used within application / reports
Value type Decimal
Precision 2
Standard unit Temperature C
Unit Symbol temperature-frigid
Color Scheme test
IO

Select BLETemperature1 if this sensor is the first connected sensor to the GPS device
Valid range minimum -2147483648
Valid range maximum 2147483648
Factor 0.1
Invert No
Use Little Endian (last byte = LSB) Yes
Bit number 0
Bit Length 16
Hysteresis high value * -20
Hysteresis low value * 30

* The hysteresis high and low value are used in the graph function on the Map

3. Connect sensors to administration

Navigate to Settings. Here you will be able to connect a sensor to an administration. Administrations that already have a sensor are shown in the list.
