iMONNIT SECURITY
iMonnit is the online software and central hub for configuring your device settings. All
data is secured on dedicated servers operating Microsoft SQL Server. Access is granted
through the iMonnit user interface, or an Application Programming Interface (API)
safeguarded by 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2) encryption. TLS is blanket of
protection to encrypt all data exchanged between iMonnit and you. The same encryption
is available to you whether you are a Basic user of Premiere user of iMonnit. You can rest
assured that your data is safe with iMonnit.

II. SENSOR SECURITY
Security is paramount for the Open/Closed Sensor when it comes to managing your
environment and equipment. Great care and attention to detail has been taken to keep the
exchange of data secure on the gateway and in gateway communications.
DATA SECURITY ON THE SENSOR
Even when the data is at rest, the Open/Closed Sensor is designed to prevent prying eyes
from accessing the data. The Monnit Open/Closed Sensor does not run on an off the shelf
multi-function OS (operating system). Instead it runs a purpose specific real-time embedded
state machine that can’t be hacked to run malicious processes. It also provides no active
interface listeners that can be used to gain access to the device over the network. The fortified
sensor secures your data from attackers and secures the sensor from becoming a relay for
malicious programs.
III. ORDER OF OPERATIONS
It is important to understand the order of operations for activating your Open/Closed Sensor.
If done out of place, your meter may have trouble communicating with iMonnit. Please consult
the steps below to make sure you are performing your setup correctly.
SET-UP STEPS
1. Register your gateway on iMonnit.
Your gateway must be registered first to verify communication between the device and
iMonnit. Any sensors or meters you wish to add onto your network must come after the
gateway.
2. Register your Open/Closed Sensor on iMonnit.
After you’ve registered your gateway, it’s time to add your Open/Closed Sensor to the
iMonnit account.
3. Install batteries in your sensor.
After your sensor is added and your gateway is communicating with iMonnit, you can install
the batteries. Your Open/Closed Sensor will either take coin-cell, AA batteries or Industrial
batteries, depending on the type.
4. Mount your sensor.
Place your sensor in the desired spot using screws or double-sided tape. Make sure you
have the correct antenna orientation to recieve a strong signal.
Each of these steps are covered in more detail in the following sections.
