***Note: the article down below is from our legacy Android app. We recommend you use dedicated Industrial IoT sensor hubs, like WiFi or GSM sensor hubs for your water monitoring, telemetry, and sensor deployments.
Dedicated sensor hubs are more reliable, readily available, cost-effective, and flexible than Android phones or tablets.
You organization will save time and money by monitoring with these Industrial IoT devices:
Your Industrial IoT sensor measurements are GPS-tagged, time-stamped, and uploaded to Tools.Valarm.net via any internet connectivity like WiFi, ethernet, or cell network.
On Tools.Valarm.net you’ll find your organization’s services for mapping, graphing, and APIs to help you with your real-time, geo-enabled sensor monitoring and Industrial IoT solutions.
Have a look at our Customer Stories page for stories, use cases, remote monitoring, telemetry, and Valarm Industrial IoT applications.
Also take a gander at your possibilities with Web Dashboards for Remote Monitoring, Telemetry, Sensors & Industrial IoT.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us at Info@Valarm.net if your business organization would like to save time, money, and lives with Industrial IoT sensor monitoring systems.
Your Industrial IoT sensors and sensor hubs are available at shop.valarm.net.
This video demonstrates remote temperature monitoring with the Valarm Pro Android app and thermocouple temperature sensors. Your real-time sensor data from Valarm devices is available on the web at the Valarm Tools Cloud – tools.valarm.net.
For long-term, real-time + remote environmental monitoring deployments we recommend using Valarm compatible connector hardware like WiFi sensor hubs and ethernet sensors hubs.

There’s a USB hub used in this video to connect Valarm to multiple sensors. We recommend this AmazonBasics 4-Port USB 2.0 Ultra-Mini Hub
if you’ll be using USB sensors that consume less power (e.g., meteo, VOC). You’ll need a hub with its own separate power source if you’re using a sensor that consumes more power, e.g., CO2 sensor.

Hello, my name’s Edward, president of Valarm. This is a Valarm compatible Yoctopuce thermocouple sensor with two temperature channels. Thermocouples are for measuring a temperature at a specific point. The Valarm Pro mobile app supports up to four thermocouple sensors at the same time which lets you remotely monitor 8 channels of temperature.
In this tutorial you will configure the Valarm Pro app to upload temperature sensor values to Tools.Valarm.net at regular intervals.
To configure your thermocouple or PT100 temperature sensors launch the Valarm Pro app then use your Android menu button to go to All settings, Yoctopuce, then Temp/Thermo/PT100. Click the button to Enable Yoctopuce if you haven’t already then you can click Scan All to verify that sensors have been detected. You’ll see a list of the sensors detected, in this case there are 4 channels of temperature coming from 2 yocto-thermocouples. After clicking scan all you will also see the current sensor values for each channel. You can use the sliders for min and max temp to set your custom thresholds. If the temperature goes above a max or below a min an alert will trigger your configured responses like uploading to tools.valarm.net, send an SMS text message and an email.
You can change the alert mode for each temperature channel by clicking the red triangle icon. This option lets you decide how many alerts you want to send for each trigger and whether to send an all clear message when the sensor goes back into your customized normal range.
Back at the Valarm home screen you can use the menu button to go directly to the Interval Timer configuration. Use the sliders to set how often you would like to trigger alerts. For example, if this is set to 10 seconds then Valarm will gather all sensor values and upload them to the web every 10 seconds.
Under all settings you can also configure email and SMS text message alerts plus remote control, see valarm.net or our other tutorial videos for more on how to do this. Under Web Integration turn on auto-sync alerts to web and enter your tools.valarm.net account information to link your device to the web, on YouTube there’s also a HowTo video on sending your Valarm sensor data to the cloud.
Once you have configured Valarm go back to the home screen and arm Valarm!
Here in this scenario we have 4 temperature channels with 2 yocto thermocouple sensors. All of the sensor data is being uploaded in real-time to the Valarm Tools Cloud where you can map, graph, analyze, download, or forward your data with Valarm APIs.
Now you can monitor anything anywhere, like your oven temperature.
Or the temperature of your refrigerator and freezer, use Valarm to monitor anything, anywhere.
