The HOBO MX Gateway provides near real‐time data monitoring for most MX series loggers by
automatically transmitting logged data to the HOBOlink® website. You can easily set up the
gateway with the HOBOmobile® or HOBOconnect® app on your phone or tablet. Once
configured, the gateway uses Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) to regularly check for
measurements from up to 100 loggers within range. Logger measurements are then uploaded
from the gateway via Ethernet or WiFi to HOBOlink, where you can set up automatic email or
text alarm notifications, display your data in a dashboard, and export data for further analysis.
Note: All MX loggers except the MX100 series are supported by the gateway. Contact Onset
Technical Support for questions on MX100 logger compatibility with the gateway.
