Sensor Cards
Sensor Card will be created when the user taps on the sensor in Add a New Sensor screen or when the user adds sensor by scanning it with NFC.
Alternatively sensor cards can be synchronized from Ruuvi Cloud cloud service when a user is signed in to the application.
Sensor Card shows information regarding a Ruuvi sensor, this can be either real time Bluetooth sensor data or synchronized cloud sensor data.
Ruuvi Station mobile has three different kinds of sensor cards:
Image view (dashboard) |
Simple view (dashboard) |

Background scanning: When disabled no data points will be collected when app minimised |
Background scanning: default enabled, data logging interval 5 mins |
Background scanning: Some Android devices optimise heavily for battery usage and may snooze apps running in the background, which effects background scanning |
Background scanning: Removing optimisation features will make app record data points in background smoothly |
Background scanning: switches between foreground/background |
