Logging into your Sentinel

This is only relevant if you have a WiFi connection and the Sentinel-modem

PreviousSentinel Specification Sheet

Last updated 9 months ago

Setting up the modem

For this you need a working WiFi connection (or Hotspot) without a secondary verification e.g. hotel Wifi with a login page

This process repeats your WiFi to a network that Sentinel knows (called sentinel-net). This allows the Sentinels to always look for the same network wherever they are

  1. Plug-in provided modem via micro USB cable

  2. Connect to sentinel-net (PW: endextinction)

  3. Open the browser and navigate to 192.168.8.1 (PW: endextinction)

  1. Click the Scan button, and connect to your WiFi network

  1. Check that you are both connected to sentinel-net network and that a webpage loads

You will only have to do this process once.

Running Sentinel update commands

The Sentinel team strives not to require users to see a single line of code. For this part, we aren't quite there. Sorry 😢 we are working on it...

Mac/Linux/Windows

  1. Open Terminal (Mac: found inside Finder/Utilities, Windows: Powershell)

Run Update Commands

  1. Attach a power source to the Sentinel (the microUSB or 18650 batteries).

  2. Turn on Sentinel

  3. Verify that the Sentinel is connected to Sentinel-net (during boot-up the Sentinel shoudl show a stable blue light at some point):

  1. ssh into the sentinel: (change out {device-name} for your device name (i.e.,jumping-nexus, etc.) by typing into your terminal:

ssh root@{device-name}.local
  1. Copy in the command that the Conservation X Labs engineer gave you.

// Some code (you have to be quick!)

If you have a Windows computer that is not fully updated, you may have to

install OpenSSH
Sentinel-modem
This should pop up when you navigate to 192.168.8.1 on sentinel-net for the first time
Click the scan button
