Pin Sensors

Up to 12 HMs or EMs can be assigned to 1 Gateway. If you have 12 or less sensors around. gateway, you don’t need to pin the Gateway to the Sensors since they will automatically connect.

However, if you have more than 12 HMs around 1 Gateway, you should assign (aka “pin”) a Gateway to each sensor to ensure it is connected to the right Gateway.

To review your Unassigned sensors, go to Unpaired tab and managed the sensors there:
