Ideally, before this sensor is installed, a tabs hub needs to be installed and confirmed working - otherwise the sensor will deplete itself looking for a hub.
Check here the checklist for installation: Checklist for installation
Check our instructions on tape here: Tabs Installation Guide
Datasheets can be found here: Data sheet Tabs (Tracknet) hubs & sensors
After installation:

Installation Flow
- chest-level (1m40-1m60/4.59-5.25 feet), preferably next to a light switch or HVAC control unit
- not over a heating body or in direct sunlight
- not behind a cupboard, a tv, ...
Place 2 pieces of adhesive tape on the side of the sensor on the side with tabs embossed.
Caution! Do not place any tape on the sticker side.
When installing the sensor make sure the intake (round air slots) are not obstructed. Preferably place the sensor next to a light switch or an HVAC control unit
→ Idea is to grasp the temperature at breast/head-height (“as the end-user would interpret the temperature”; knowing that heat rises).
Use common sense and do not hang them over a heating body, in direct sunlight, next to a heating vent, behind a smart board / tv, deep in open cupboards (where they can be blocked by items) etc …
- Remove the clear battery strip to power up the sensor (red box 2).
- During installation, it's important to clean the installation surface to remove dust particles which have a great influence on the strength of the adhesive bond. This can be done using a simple dust cloth.
- Once the surface is clean, remove the adhesive tape cover and mount the sensor on the desired location.
- Press the sensor firmly for 5 seconds against the installation surface.
