1 Mi-Sensor-1
1.1 Sensor Introduction
The Mi-Sensor-1 is a multifunction battery powered wireless sensor that
is capable of simultaneously monitoring Temperature, Motion, and
Moisture present or Contact closure
1.2 Battery Installation
Open sensor by prying case open by hand. Insert
CR2032 battery in holder ensuring to observe
polarity indicator on battery and battery holder.
WARNING
–
Incorrect installation will
damage sensor and void warranty.
1.3 Sensor Installation
Configure sensor using gateway CONFIGURE page. See gateway sensor configuring section for
details.
Test sensor signal strength at the location the sensor is intended to be use by pressing the test
button on the sensor and viewing the sensor message signal strength (RSSI) on the gateway
STATUS page. If signal strength is too low or the gateway is unable to receive the sensor test
message, try adjusting the sensor and gateway orientation, and location.
For temperature and motion sensing, the sensor only needs to be placed in a suitable location.
If the sensor is being use to sense the presence of a liquid or contact
closure, attach the supplied sensing wire to the sensor moisture/contact
terminal block. Each of the two wires of one end is inserted into the
two larger terminal block holes. You may use your own supplied 18-
24 AWG wire if the supplied wire is not suitable for your application.
To release the wire from the terminal block, insert a pin into the two
smaller slots of the terminal block.
For moisture sensing, the other ends of the wire should be spaced about 3mm (1/8 inch) apart
and placed in a location they can come in contact with the liquid.
For contact sensing, the other ends of the wire should be attached to a dry contact closure
element such as a door open/close contact containing a reed switch.
Attach double sided tape to sensor and attach sensor in final sensing
location.

2.1 Gateway Introduction
The Mi-Gateway-1 receives wireless messages from multiple Mi-
Sensor-1 and sends them to an email account or text phone using
your Local Area Network (LAN) to Internet connection. The Mi-
Gateway-1 has a build in web server that you connect to with a
browser to configure all parameters of the Mi-Gateway-1 and Mi-
Sensor-1. The Mi-Gateway-1 plugs into your LAN and is powered
from an AC outlet.
2.2 Gateway Installation
Connect gateway to your router or local area network using supplied CAT-5 cable. If required, a
CAT-5 cable up to 30m (100 feet) maybe used. Your network should have a DHCP server
connected to it in order for the gateway to get its initial IP address.
Connect the gateway to an AC outlet using the supplied AC/DC adapter. The green link LED on
the gateway should turn on. You should see periodic pulses on the orange activity LED.
Place the gateway in a location that provides best reception of the
sensors. The gateway has the best reception when attached to a
vertical surface using the provided adhesive pads. Other orientations
will work, but be less sensitive to sensor messages.
Access the gateway management interface using your web browser to configure the gateway and
sensors.
2.3 Gateway Reset
If you need to set the gateway parameters to the original factory settings perform the following
steps. All previously stored gateway settings are lost. The sensors will retain their configured
settings.
a) Remove power from the gateway.
b) Press the Reset button.
c) Applying power to the gateway.
d) Hold the Reset button for 5 seconds.
e) Release the Reset button.
2.4 Gateway Repeater Function
The gateway may be used as a repeater to extend the range of the gateway that is connected to
the local area network (LAN). When in this mode the gateway does not need to be connected to
LAN and can be placed in any location that power is available.

2.5 Gateway Web Management Interface
The gateway management interface may be
accessed using your web browser. Type the name
of the gateway in your web browser address bar.
The default name of the gateway is
http://wsng
.
If your network does not support name resolution, you can type the IP address of the gateway
into your browser. You may find this address in your DHCP server’s active client list.
After successful login to the gateway you will be presented with the Setup Page.
2.6 Gateway Login Authentication
By default the gateway does not require you to provide a
login name and password. If you have enabled login
authentication you will be presented with a login
authentication dialog similar to the following. Enter the
User ID and User Password parameters specified in the
SETUP page. If you forget your User ID and Password,
you may Reset the gateway to default settings.
