  1. When pressing Register x sensors the app will attempt claiming the devices

If all registrations are successfull you will now be redirected back to the dashboard and the new sensor will appear as a tile next to the gateway.
Newly added sensors needs to be verified in the cloud before they are fully functional. This usually happens instantaneously or within a few minutes.

Verification

For verification to succeed, the sensor needs to send a data packet through a gateway registered to the same system. Make sure the gateway is powered and online, as well as keeping the sensor within range of the gateway.
