viaSens vs Waltero Setup

The app “viaSens” is used to do the commissioning of the SAUTER Smart Sensor viaSens. It gives you access to the configuration parameters of the SAUTER Smart Sensor product range. The connection to the Smart Sensors is established locally via Bluetooth LE. As soon as the Smart Sensors are provisioned to be in a Bluetooth mesh sensor network, the app locks all the sensors into the Bluetooth mesh network. The Smart Sensor App “viaSens” has been developed for provisioning the sensors to be part of a Bluetooth mesh network. The following functions are supported in the app: • Handling of several projects with Smart Sensors • Creating different Bluetooth mesh networks in the project • Discovering and selecting of Smart Sensors • Adding Smart Sensors to be part of the Bluetooth mesh network • Configuring of the Smart Sensor, incl. configuration of the IoT connectivity (MQTT) of the Smart Sensor gateway • Locking Smart Sensors to be part of this unique Bluetooth mesh network. In addition, following functions are supported in the app as well: • Import / Export of configuration data • Firmware update of Smart Sensors (OTA with WiFi) • Live View of sensor including commanding LED ring in Bluetooth LE mode (Demo Mode)

Waltero Setup is the companion app for installing and configuring Waltero smart water and utility-meter sensors in the field. Built for installers and technicians, it guides you through the entire process — from scanning a sensor to confirming it's online and reporting readings to the cloud — in a few clear steps, with no technical setup required on site. KEY FEATURES • Guided setup — a step-by-step flow that takes a sensor from unboxed to connected. • QR pairing — scan the sensor to identify and pair it instantly. • WiFi or cellular — configure the sensor's connection over WiFi (with optional static IP) or the mobile network (APN). • Cloud connection test — verify the sensor can reach the cloud before you leave the site, so you never install a sensor that can't report. • Meter reading alignment — use the sensor's camera to frame the meter and confirm the reading is captured correctly and upright. • Signal mapping — check connection quality at the installation location, with AR-assisted mapping on supported devices. • My Devices — view and manage the sensors you've installed. • Multi-organization support — work across several organizations from one account. A Waltero account is required. Waltero Setup is intended for professional installers configuring Waltero hardware. Learn more at waltero.com
