Tyre Pressure Sensor

Bluetooth cap sensors, one on each tyre valve. Sensa shows every tyre's pressure on a top-down view of the van and raises an alarm when one goes too low or too high.

Tyre Pressure Sensor (ITPMS/FOBO/Michelin/OBEST/SYTPMS/TPMSII)

Sensa reads sensors made for these phone apps and brands:

  • OBEST kits, used with the DJTPMS app
  • ITPMS, including WODHMIEY sensors used with the ITPMS or LYTPMS app
  • FOBO Tyre
  • Michelin TMS
  • SYTPMS
  • TPMSII

Sensa Connection Method​

Bluetooth.

Installation​

Fit the sensors to your tyres following the manufacturer's instructions. A Bluetooth proxy near the back of the van helps Sensa hear the far ones.

Configuration​

The sensors use Bluetooth. They only broadcast their readings, so there is nothing to pair. A Bluetooth proxy helps Sensa hear sensors at the far end of the van.

Adding to Sensa Nomad​

Sensa finds each sensor on its own. Open Settings, choose the Devices tab, tick each sensor under Discovered and press Add Selected Devices. If one is not there yet, press Scan.

See Adding devices for more.

What you see​

  • A Tyres tab on the Cab dashboard, with every wheel laid out on a top-down view of the van. Each wheel shows its pressure, its temperature if the sensor reports one, a warning if the sensor's battery is running low, and how long ago it last reported. See Tyres.
  • The Tyre pressure instinct, which raises an alarm naming the wheel when a tyre goes outside your range. It is switched on as soon as you add a sensor.

Good to know​

  • Tell Sensa which wheel each sensor is on. No sensor knows, so pick its wheel from the dropdown in the Sensors list on the Tyres tab. Until you do, it stays on Not set.
  • A quiet sensor is not a fault. Most sensors sleep while the van is parked, so a tile keeps its last reading and shows how old it is.
  • These sensors carry the Unverified label in the Devices list. See Supported devices for what that means.
