1. What ZenTemp Does

ZenTemp is a wireless environmental sensor designed to monitor:

  • Ambient temperature

  • Humidity levels

ZenTemp advertises sensor data over Bluetooth and must be detected by a compatible BLE gateway (vehicle tracker, camera, or receiver) to forward readings to the platform.

ZenTemp:

  • Is not ruggedized and intended for indoor or protected environments

  • Does not provide GPS or motion telemetry

  • Requires a gateway device to report data

2. Before You Start

You will need:

  • A ZenTemp device

  • A compatible BLE gateway

  • A smartphone with Bluetooth enabled

  • KBeacon Pro app installed (iOS or Android)

No password is required.

3. Step 1 – Powering On / Off the Device

ZenTemp uses an external button for power control.

To power ON:

  • Press and hold the external button to turn the device on.

  • The device will begin advertising automatically.

To power OFF:

  • Press and hold the external button again to turn the device off.

4. Step 2 – Verify Advertising and Sensor Data in KBeacon Pro

  1. Open KBeacon Pro.

  2. Enable Bluetooth on your phone.

  3. Scan for nearby BLE devices.

  4. Locate ZenTemp by MAC address or label.

  5. Select the device to view details.

Confirm the following:

  • Device is visible and advertising

  • Battery level is reported and not low

  • Temperature reading is present

  • Humidity reading is present

  • Values make sense for the current environment

This confirms the device is functioning correctly before deployment.

5. Step 3 – Add ZenTemp to ZenduOne

5.1 Add as a BLE Beacon

  1. Log in to ZenduOne.

  2. Navigate to the BLE Beacon or Devices section.

  3. Add a new beacon:

    • Type: BLE Beacon / Sensor

    • Enter the ZenTemp identifier (MAC or serial)

  4. Assign it to the correct customer/account.

5.2 Link ZenTemp to a Gateway / Asset

  1. Open the asset (vehicle or device) acting as the BLE gateway.

  2. Enable BLE scanning if not already enabled.

  3. Add ZenTemp to the BLE configuration (or whitelist, if used).

  4. Save changes.

6. Step 4 – Verify Temperature & Humidity in ZenduOne

  1. Bring ZenTemp within BLE range of the gateway.

  2. Open the live or asset view in ZenduOne.

  3. Confirm:

    • Temperature values are displayed

    • Humidity values are displayed

  4. Allow time for reporting based on configured intervals.

If data does not appear:

  • Verify advertising in KBeacon Pro

  • Confirm the device is powered on

  • Check battery level

  • Verify BLE scanning and whitelisting on the gateway

  • Ensure the device is assigned to the correct asset
