WiFi Questions

New to the community and sensor. I am not tech savvy.

We have the Flex. Can you explain to me how this will work in practice? Once you do the initialization with your Wifi does the sensor need to be near your WiFi? I want to place it about a block away from us. Does that mean I need to start it up with a WiFi that will be close to the sensor? Thank you.

Generally speaking, yes, you want to deploy the sensor in range of WiFi so it can upload its measurements in real time.

Some sensor models also support writing measurements to an SD card. This would allow for deployment away from WiFi, but requires removing the card and reading out the log to obtain the measurements. More information about the SD card data is in the post linked below.

I did get the SD card so maybe in the beginning, we’ll rely on that. thank you.
