Welcome to the world of IoT and ConnectedFresh! This article will guide you through the process of setting up your Milesight TS302 temperature sensor, which runs on the LoRaWAN network. With just a few simple steps, you'll be up and running in no time. Let's get set up!

Unpacking and Activating Your Sensor

The temperature sensor box will come with the following components:

• 1x temperature sensor with two probe channels

• 1x external temperature probe (Optionally 2 probes can be requested)

• Mounting hardware (zip ties and 3M stickers)
  

The sensor will be labeled with its identifier, which will be helpful for assigning sensors, moving sensors, or contacting ConnectedFresh Support.

Mounting Your Sensor

1. Assemble the Materials: Use the provided 2 zip ties and 2 3M adhesive tags. Attach the sensor antenna to your new sensor.

2. Choose the Mounting Location: Select a spot inside the fridge where the sensor can be mounted. Keep in mind the following four points when choosing your sensor location.

1. No obstruction (without obstructing any shelves or drawers)
   
2. Central location within range of LoRaWAN gateway (accurate temperature reading of the entire fridge)
   
3. Not close to the cooling element (if the sensor is too close to the cooling element, it might give inaccurate temp readings)
   
4. Avoid placing near metal (metal can block radio frequency signals)

3. Prepare the Surface: Clean the chosen spot inside the fridge. The surface should be dry and free of grease or dirt to ensure the tape adheres properly.

5. Mount the Sensor: Peel off the protective layer of the 3M tag. Carefully place the sensor onto the chosen spot in the fridge, pressing firmly for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond. Cut any additional zip tie slag if needed.

Activating Your Sensor

Here's how to turn on your Milesight TS302 temperature sensor:

1. Mount the sensor in a central area within range of your LoRaWAN gateway. Avoid placing it near metal, as this can block radio frequency signals.

2. Attach and insert your probe into the first channel (CH1) on the left side of your sensor. Always default to CH1 if you are using only one probe. If you are looking to use an additional probe, we can provide that for you. With your second probe, then attach it to the second channel (CH2).

3. Press and hold the white button on the right side of the sensor for 3 seconds. Let go when the signal screen turns on.

4. The sensor will begin searching for a signal from the gateway. When it successfully connects, the screen will turn on.

Monitoring Your Data

1. To update the temperature on the sensor’s screen, you can simply press the white button on the right side of the sensor, and the information on the LED screen will update accordingly.
   
2. If you are using two probes, pressing the side button twice will switch the probe data that is shown on the screen. The probe whose information is currently being shown is indicated by a line above the channel input on the screen.
   
3. You can view your data in real-time by logging in to the ConnectedFresh portal: https://dashboard.connectedfresh.com.
   
1. If you have not yet activated your account, you should have received an email with an activation link. If you can't find the email or the link has expired, please reach out to ConnectedFresh Support at support@connectedfresh.com.
   

That's it! Your Milesight TS302 temperature sensor is now set up and ready to use. If you have any questions or encounter any problems, please don't hesitate to contact ConnectedFresh Support for assistance.
