Why isn't the occupancy data from a newly installed sensor showing up in Inventory?
If the sensor—or the resource to which the sensor is attached—remains yellow on the floor plan, the sensor is not transmitting data to the backend system. Check that the device's power switch is in the (1) position and the Sigfox (SG) / LoRA (LR) switch is in the SG position.
If this doesn't solve the issue, make a note of the sensor ID and contact our support team, who can check the sensor's connection status in the backend system.
Why does the sensor appear red in EG Inventory?
The resource to which the sensor is connected turns red when the sensor has not sent status updates by the deadline. The most common reason is a depleted battery.
Why isn't the sensor's occupancy data showing up in EG Worksense?
If the resource's occupancy data is not visible in Worksense, the sensor is likely turned off or the battery is dead. Also check that the device is still in place and correctly oriented.
If this doesn't solve the issue, make a note of the sensor ID and contact our support team, who can check the sensor's connection status in the backend system.
Why is the sensor showing an incorrect status in EG Worksense or on a report?
The status displayed by the sensor may be incorrect if the sensor data has not updated properly to the backend system. Contact our support team, who can check the sensor's status and data in the backend system.
Troubleshooting sensors via EG Worksense support
If you suspect the sensor is faulty (e.g., the battery is dead or the device is completely unresponsive) and need help, contact our support team and provide the sensor ID and location (building, floor, room). Support will guide you on the next steps, such as replacing the battery or the device itself.
The sensor ID can be found in either the EG Inventory app or EG Optimaze Space.
Finding sensor ID via EG Inventory:
- Open the EG Inventory app
- Navigate to the building and floor where the sensor is located
- Tap the colored circle at the sensor's location. If the sensor is not transmitting data, the circle appears red or yellow.
- The sensor ID is displayed in bold in the panel that opens
Finding sensor ID via EG Optimaze Space:
- Open Optimaze
- Select Space
- Select the floor where the sensor is located from the floor list
- Click Layers and check Capacity objects
- Click Labels and check Sensor ID. The sensor IDs will appear on the floor plan. If adjacent sensor IDs overlap, you can rotate the floor plan by selecting
and choosing Rotate floor plan.
If you do not have access to EG Inventory or EG Optimaze Space:
- Take a screenshot of the floor plan
- Mark the sensor in question in the screenshot
- Attach the screenshot when contacting our support team
