Sensors Overview
The Sensors page in LOCUS helps you find sensors, check their latest measurements, and open detailed information. The sensors you can see depend on your account permissions and access to Home Sites.
- Sign in to LOCUS.
- Select Sensors from the left navigation menu.
- Find the sensor you need in the list, or select its row to open the Details page.
- Enter a sensor name or another supported term in Search.
- Use the filter control to narrow the results, if needed.
- Select a sensor row to open its Details page.
By default, the newest sensor records appear first, sorted by Create Date.

|---|---|
| Status | Sensor status indicator. |
| Sensor Name | Name of the sensor. |
| Sensor Model | Sensor model. |

The list may also include the latest available measurements, such as Temperature (°C), Humidity (%), or Light State. Available parameters depend on the sensor model and version. A dash (-) indicates that a value is unavailable; it does not necessarily mean the sensor is offline.
Values associated with a Threshold Breach event may be highlighted.
