How to integrate ZenMeasure Wireless BLE Tags & Gateway

This guide explains how to integrate ZenMeasure’s wireless Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) temperature and humidity tags with the TagoIO IoT platform.
ZenMeasure’s wireless sensors can connect to TagoIO through multiple methods, including the T-Tags mobile application for Bluetooth connectivity and the MOT-G102 BLE gateway for real-time data reporting.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

Quick Setup Overview

  1. Create a device in TagoIO with HTTPS connector
  2. Copy the Device Token
  3. Configure T-Tags app with the token
  4. Connect your BLE tag or Gateway and upload data

Step 1: TagoIO Device Setup

Creating a Device for Your Wireless Tag

  1. In TagoIO, navigate to DevicesAdd Device
  2. Select HTTPS as the connector type
  3. Name your device descriptively (e.g., “ZenMeasure BLE Temperature Tag”)
  4. Save and copy the Device Token - this unique credential authenticates your wireless sensor

This token is the unique credential for your device to authenticate and send data to TagoIO. Please keep it secure.


Step 2: Connecting BLE Tags via T-Tags App

The T-Tags mobile application provides seamless Bluetooth connectivity between your wireless temperature/humidity tags and TagoIO. It allows you to connect your tag to your mobile device and send the data directly to TagoIO.

If you intend to use the Gateway instead, please skip to Step 3 of this tutorial.

App Configuration

  1. Download T-Tags App

  2. Configure Token

    • Open T-Tags and navigate to Settings
    • Find Token Configuration
    • Paste the Device Token from TagoIO
    • The app is now linked to your Device created on TagoIO.

Connecting Your Bluetooth Tag

  1. Enable Bluetooth on your mobile device
  2. Open T-Tags and tap Scan
  3. Scan the QR code on the front side of the BLE tag
  4. The app will establish a Bluetooth connection and begin reading stored data

Data Upload Process

  1. Scan and Read

    • Use T-Tags to scan your wireless temperature tag
    • The app connects via Bluetooth and downloads stored measurements
  2. Review Data

    • Tap View Report to see data summary
    • Check temperature and humidity readings
    • Verify the time range of collected data
  3. Upload to TagoIO

    • Press Upload Report button
    • Data transmits from your BLE tag through the app to TagoIO
    • Confirmation appears when upload completes

Note: The T-Tags app may display limited historical data (e.g., last 6 days). For wireless tags with extended logging periods, ensure you select the appropriate date range during upload.


Step 3: Alternative - Connect Using the MOT-G102 Bluetooth Gateway

For continuous, real-time monitoring of your wireless BLE sensors without a mobile device, you can use ZenMeasure’s Gateway, which have the following features:

  • Pre-configured by ZenMeasure for plug-and-play operation
  • Automatic Bluetooth scanning for nearby wireless tags
  • Real-time data forwarding to TagoIO
  • Supports multiple BLE sensors simultaneously

Setup

  1. Power on the MOT-G102 gateway
  2. Place within Bluetooth range of your wireless tags (typically 10-30 meters)
  3. The gateway automatically discovers and connects to compatible BLE sensors
  4. Data streams directly to your TagoIO device

Now Create Your Own Visualizations or Export Your Data

Once your wireless Bluetooth tags are sending data, you are now free to start creating your own Dashboards to visualize your data. You can start from scratch or download one of the several dashboard templates available here: TagoIO IoT - Dashboard Templates

If you prefer to export your data for offline analysis, check this documentation on how to export data from your Devices in TagoIO: Data Export | TagoIO Docs
