How to install the chair sensor

The chair sensor is a vibration sensor and should be located on the preferred chair of the person using MySense. 

1. Power on the sensor

Insert 2 AAA batteries from your MySense box in the sensor with a chair icon. To insert the batteries, remove the backplate: 

• Gently press down on the ridged thumb to remove the backplate. 
• Pull the backplate of the sensor away from the front cover allowing access to the batteries. Ensure to align the batteries correctly with the polarity (+/–) markings.
• With the batteries properly in place, the sensor can be clipped back together.  

2. Check if the sensor has power by pressing the small circle on the front of the sensor firmly. The LED above the button should flash red once.

3. Fit the sensor to your favourite chair. 

There are many types of chairs so sensor placement locations vary. The key is to place the sensor where it will easily sense the vibration of someone sitting down without the sensor coming into contact with the person sitting. Good examples include:

• Under or to the side of the seat cushion, if it is thicker

• Underneath the chair, if it is thinner and more flexible

• On the chair back, in the case of a reclining chair

4. Check the sensor activation.

With the sensor placed, you can test it by sitting down and moving around in the chair. Check the activation appears in the activity graph in Events. 

Once you have found the spot that best picks up sensor activations, peel off the 3m strip and secure the sensor.
