Details
This section provides detailed information about specific Rüt Cellars features and processes.
Adding a Connected Sensor
Rüt Cellars supports the SensorPush HT.wx (Extreme Accuracy Water-Resistant Temperature / Humidity / Barometric Pressure Smart Sensor) model for a couple of reasons. First, is it has a "sensor membrane and o-ring seals for a durable splash and rain proof design" making it a good choice when used around potentially damp produce. Secondly, it is one of the few sensors on the market in the U.S. that are "made in the USA".
The Rüt Cellars app supports retrieving data from SensorPush sensors when used with their G1 WiFi Gateway. The gateway enables the sensor to always be connected and uploading its data without the need for a mobile device to be nearby. Also it means you can place the sensor in a refrigerator, and place the gateway nearby, with a good chance of getting the signal out of the metal box that is a fridge. The gateway connects to both your sensors and your WiFi ensuring you always have access to the most current data from anywhere.
Setup
When you receive your sensor and gateway from SensorPush just follow their instructions for setup. The process is straightforward and takes only a few minutes. In order to use your SensorPush devices with Rüt Cellars you just have to make sure to login to SensorPush's Dashboard one time. This first login completes the setup of your account with SensorPush. After you have completed that step, you can follow the steps to add your SensorPush sensor(s) with G1 WiFi Gateway for monitoring through Rüt Cellars. We securely store your SensorPush login information to access the SensorPush cloud on your behalf.
Sync'ing Data
Once you have added the gateway/sensor to Rüt Cellars you can add it to a location. In order to sync the data from the sensor, you just need to click the Sync Sensorbutton in your Rüt Cellars Dashboard. It will automatically download all of the data since the last sync. Sync'ing can take from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on how long it has been since the last sync. Current readings will be updated immediately in Rüt Cellars and other data, such as the Freshness Meter, will be updated in no more than about an hour.
