About

Waltero Setup

Features
Read full description

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
