How to Use the Wagner Sentry App
Wagner Sentry is a multipurpose smart device app built to control and download stored data from wireless relative humidity and temperature data logger devices from Wagner Meters. The app connects via BluetoothŽ to the Floor SentryŽ embedded wood floor data logger and the second edition of the Wagner Meters data logging device, Smart Logger⢠v2.
IMPORTANT: These devices can be connected to only one mobile device at a time.
How to Use Wagner Sentry App in 8 Steps

Step 1
Download the Wagner Sentry app for free on either the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Step 2
For iOS users:
Open the app and select âOKâ when prompted to allow Bluetooth. The Wagner Sentry app requires Bluetooth to connect to devices within range.

Step 3
You should see the Devices screen. Select the â+ Add Devicesâ button to start adding a new device.

For Android users, a pop-up for location settings will display. Select âWhile using the app.â You must enable this in order to receive alarm notifications from your data logging device(s) when the app is not running.

Step 3 Continued
Following this, a pop-up message requesting Bluetooth access will display. Please select âAllowâ to grant proper access.

This will take you to the Add Devices screen, which will display all devices within Bluetooth range. Select the device(s) you would like to add. Then click âAdd Nowâ to complete this process and go back to the Devices screen.

The app will automatically sync all of the information and display a check mark to the right of the device name when itâs complete.

Step 4
To access current data or change device settings, select a device.
For Android users: If this is the first time using the app, select âYesâ on the pop-up that displays to grant background location permissions.

This will take you to an app info screen within your phone settings. On this screen, select âPermissionsâ >âLocationâ > âAllow all the time.â Once permissions have been granted, select the back arrow until you return to the Wagner Sentry app.

For iOS users: If this is the first time using the app, select âYesâ on the pop-up that displays to enable alarms. Then select âAllowâ to allow notifications of the alarms for your device(s) that you will set up later.

Step 4 Continued
This will take you to the Data Summary screen. At the top of the page, there will be a default device name that can be defined by the user (explained in Step 7). Then you will see the date and time when the device was last synced with the app. It will display in red if it is not a current reading (unless the device settings have been changed by another phone or it has been more than 24 hours since the last reading). You can select âRefresh Dataâ in the top-right corner to sync and get current readings.

Following that, you will see the last synced temperature and RH readings. As needed, you can opt to display graphs for either the RH and/or temperature data by toggling your desired parameters.
(Note: The colors shown in the graph correspond to the toggle buttons above the graph.) Use pinch-to-zoom on the graph to zoom in or out of the data results. Use the buttons on the app bar at the bottom of the screen to navigate between the four different data and device setting screen options.

Step 5
Select the second icon ( ) at the bottom to navigate to the Data screen where you have the ability to filter data based
on a specific date range. Filtering data changes the list of shown data points and also allows you to view the filtered data in graph form when you select âView Graph.â

Clear your filter at any time by selecting âClear Filter.â

Step 6
Select the third icon ( ) at the bottom to navigate to the Location screen. The Wagner Sentry app gives you the option to indicate the location of the device. This can be done in two ways: either sync to your mobile device location or enter the physical address.

After manually entering an address, click the âSaveâ icon in the top-right corner of the screen.

Step 7
Select the fourth icon ( ) at the bottom to navigate to the Device Settings screen. If using your device for the first time, you can rename the device in these settings.
On the Device Settings screen, you can also:
- Re-sync your data by selecting the âRefresh Dataâ icon at the top-right of the screen
- Set the desired frequency of readings
- Set the top and bottom sensor alarm threshold range for both temperature and RH
- Set the âAlarm Reading Frequencyâ (the frequency at which readings will be taken once the devices enter into an alarm state)
- IMPORTANT â Specific for Floor Sentry Devices Only! After completing the installation instructions on pages 1 to 2 of the manual, click âInstall Device.â This will clear any existing data so that the device will store only data collected after installation.
- IMPORTANT – The Smart Logger (V1 and V2) has a password feature. The password can be set from the âDevice Settingsâ menu. Once a password has been set, the user will be prompted to enter the password every time they try to change the settings for that device.
Note: Users can still sync the Smart Logger V2 device and view the data without entering a password. For the Smart Logger V1, the password will have to be entered in order to sync and view the data.

On the main Devices screen, the (FS) or (SL) to the left of the device name indicates if the device is either a Floor Sentry device or a Smart Logger v2 device.
The red exclamation point (!) to the right of a device name indicates that one or more set alarm thresholds have been crossed.
Note: the device monitors the sensor(s) every 15 minutes and will trigger the alarms if necessary. These checks are not saved to the memory unless they have triggered an alarm and only records the data based on the frequency specified by the user.
The white-on-green refresh icon ( ) indicates that there is new data for the device that can be synced. Pressing that button re-syncs the app with the data from the device.
The white-on-green checkmark icon ( ) indicates that the data from the device is current and doesnât need to be synced. Note: This is accurate if the phone has the latest device settings.

NOTE: For sensors, the alarm threshold defaults are 30â50% RH and 60â80 degrees F.
Saving: After making any changes to the sensor alarm thresholds or the reading frequency, a âSaveâ icon ( ) will replace the âRefresh Dataâ icon in the top-right corner. Click that to save all changes that were made.


To store device information for later use, you can use the âArchiveâ function by sliding the bar of the device to the right (iOS) or using a long press (Android).
Later, if you wish to access an archived device, simply touch âArchivedâ to access that device for viewing, editing, or restoring the device to âCurrentâ status.
On the âArchivedâ screen, you can restore a device back to your current âDevicesâ list by sliding the bar to the right (iOS) or using a long press (Android).
