    The seneye device can be used in the following ways. Online will give you constant uploads to seneye.me with alerts. Offline will allow the device to work as a data logger and upload readings when the device is next connected to a PC using SCA.

    Using with a PC - online

    Connect your seneye directly to the PC. If your computer or laptop isn’t close enough you can extend the cable length by 2.5m using the seneye USB extension. For those who require even more range, the seneye active USB extension cable allows the cable length of the seneye device to be increased by an additional 15m. The seneye device can also be connected to a wireless USB bridge giving increased flexibility over Wi-Fi. You will however still need a PC running the SCA.

    Your PC you will need the following spec:
    PC with a wired or wireless network and TCP/IP protocol,
    Windows XP, Vista 32-/64-bit, Windows 7 32-/64bit, & Windows 8 32-/64bit.
    Full speed USB 1.0 port or higher
    Minimum 1Ghz processor and 128mb RAM
    HTML web browser: Internet Explorer 8.0+, Firefox 4.0+, Safari 4.0+ & Chrome.
    Internet connection (for setup and online use)

    Using with a Seneye Web Server (SWS) - online

    The SWS removes the need for any PC in the house and will connect your seneye to your internet router. It will then send results directly to the seneye cloud website. Visit seneye.com/coming-soon for more information. With the SWS you can use a seneye device and an apple computer.

    If you are using your seneye with a Seneye Web Server please follow these instructions.

    Using in Data Logging Mode With A Power Adaptor - offline

    After initial set up, your seneye can be connected to a seneye USB power adapter. This option is great if you don’t wish to have your seneye device constantly connected to a PC. When powered by the USB Power Adaptor, readings are stored on the internal memory ever hour. Warning lights are displayed on the on the seneye device if the water parameters are bad. You will not receive alerts via SMS or Email.
