About Digi Connect® Sensor
Connect Sensor is a low-power cellular sensor gateway for wireless drop-in networking to remotely
monitor industrial environments and control systems, such as pipeline flow, air pressure, and light
levels. To power Connect Sensor, use either the internal battery or an external power source, such as
solar panels, for setups with no power or limited power.
Connect Sensor includes an external input/output (I/O) interface inside a waterproof enclosure for
connecting third-party sensors. The sensors gather information (sensor readings) from their
environment, and Connect Sensor reports that information to Digi Remote Manager® using a low-
bandwidth cellular connection. You can sign in to your Remote Manager account to view the reports or
use the Digi Connect Wizard app on a mobile device and pair it with a nearby Connect Sensor to view
real-time sensor and device data in the field.
Note
Make sure there is adequate cellular network coverage where you plan to install the gateway
before purchasing cellular service.

Digi Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager
Note
To serve our customers most effectively, Digi International Inc. is consolidating its cloud
services, Digi Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager®, under the Remote Manager name. This phased
process does not affect device functionality or the functionality of the web services and other
features. However, you will find instances of both Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager in some
documentation, firmware, and user interfaces.
