How to Program the Sensaphone 1000

The Sensaphone 1000 is an Ethernet-based, environmental sensor hub. It can report data from attached environmental sensors, like smoke and humidity detectors, and transmit sensor reports over the web. You can attach up to eight sensors at once to the Sensaphone 1000. But before you start receiving reports from your Sensaphone 1000, it's a good idea to program the device's system settings.
