Detection Sensors

Detection sensors are designed to support pest and rodent control efforts. Place them in areas where rodent activity is suspected. Once installed, the sensors will alert you through the Hygiene IQ app whenever motion is detected.

Each time movement is registered, the sensor flashes green twice and sends a notification with the room name, date, and time of detection. These alerts appear on the Tasks page.

To minimize false alarms from human activity, you can set specific time frames for when alerts should be active—ideal for focusing on nocturnal rodent movement.

How to set up a Detection sensor

To activate a sensor as a Detection sensor, follow these steps:

1. Unbox the sensor, remove the back cover, and pull out the battery tab. Insert the battery and replace the back cover. Wait for the blue LED light on the top cover to start flashing rapidly.
2. In the Hygiene IQ app, scan for the sensor by tapping ACTIVATE SENSOR during location or room creation.

• If adding the sensor later, tap Add Device in the room page and select Add Sensor.


3. The app will scan for nearby sensors—select the detected sensor to activate it.

4. After the sensor is activated, the app will transition to the Sensor Settings page. Tap the dropdown menu in the Select sensor type field and choose Detection.

5. Assign the sensor to a specific location you want to monitor or suspect of rodent activity. Enter the name of this area in the Where is this sensor located? field.

6. Set the detection range by selecting the appropriate option from the dropdown menu (it is defaulted to Long).

7. If you wish to assign custom timings for the detection sensor, toggle the Custom timings option On. This option is turned Off by default.


• If you turn on the Custom timings option, then select the Notification hours and Notification days applicable to this sensor. Reminders will only be sent during the specified times and/or days.

8. Peel off the adhesive tape cover on the back of the sensor and securely attach it in the area you want to monitor.
9. Add a photo of the sensor in the app by selecting the Add Photo button (optional). Choose one of the following options:

• Take New Photo – Select this option to take a picture of the sensor with your mobile device.
• Select from Library – Select this option to choose a picture of the sensor already saved on your device.


10. Tap Next to complete the sensor setup in the Hygiene IQ app.
