The MonnitLink cellular gateway works with all Monnit wireless sensors, which were designed to detect and monitor functions that are critical to business or personal life, including: temperature, humidity, water, light, access, movement and much more. Monnit’s wireless gateways transmit data between local sensor networks and the iMonnit online monitoring and notification system. The iMonnit online software allows for user customization and notification of events via email or text message.
