Support

  • The sensors are battery powered.
    Batteries are included with each device in the starter pack. Depending on network conditions, the batteries should last from three to five years. Replacement batteries can be purchased from Spark IoT. Contact your local Spark Business Hub for details, or reach out to us at iotsolutions@spark.co.nz

  • The sensors automatically connect to the Spark IoT network.
    They don’t need to be connected to WiFi or to any other local network.

  • You can buy more than one Starter Kit.
    This is subject to stock availability, so please check with your local Spark Hub to make sure they have them in stock. This is ideal for when your business is in multiple locations. 

  • The temperature sensors are yours to keep.
    The title is transferred to you on your payment of the Starter Kit fee. 

  • Adding other devices to the Starter Kit:
    Spark has a broad range of IoT devices to suit your needs. Note that for any additional devices you purchase from Spark there will be hardware and subscription fees. To add anything to your Kit, such as an open/close sensor to let you know if the fridge has been left open, contact your local Spark Business Hub for details, or reach out to us at iotsolutions@spark.co.nz

  • Checking current temperature readings:
    Log in to Spark IoT Bridge to see the latest temperature readings. To help conserve power, the temperature sensors are configured to send data every three hours under normal conditions. However, any time the temperature exceeds the threshold you’ve set up, the readings in IoT Bridge will immediately update, and the sensor will trigger a notification by SMS (txt), email or both.

  • You can set up alerts to be notified if the temperature exceeds what’s expected.
    You can choose to receive alerts via SMS (txt) and/or email. You'll need to be within your mobile provider's network coverage to receive an SMS alert in real time.
