Introduction:
Welcome to a traceable live, instructional video for the traceable, live Wi-Fi data logging and thermometer, with remote notification. In this video, we'll be following the QuickStart guide that came included with your traceable, live device. Just like the QuickStart guide, we're going to divide this video into eight small sections.
Creating an Account:
To get started, we'll first need to create an account at www.chrismuldong.com. This can be done on any browser on any of your personal devices, but we recommend using a computer as it will make typing much easier. Once you're on the website, click on "New Account" to proceed.
User Information:
The next step is to enter your user information. This includes filling in the required fields with your personal details. Additionally, we'll explain the subscription add-on and password requirements in greater detail.
Subscription Options:
Traceable live offers the convenience of choosing between an annual or monthly subscription for your devices. For nine or fewer devices, the cost is $8.99 per device monthly or $100 annually. For 10 or more devices, the cost is $7.20 per device monthly or $80 annually. Choosing an annual subscription provides better value for money and convenience, as you only have to pay once a year.
Add-Ons:
Add-ons are optional extra features that enhance your traceable live service. One such add-on is the SMS add-on, which allows you to receive text message notifications straight to your phone for your traceable live devices. Enabling SMS is an additional cost of $2 for each device. If you prefer not to have SMS enabled, make sure to leave the button unfilled.
Password Requirements:
To ensure account security, traceable live requires a password with at least one number and one special character. Be sure to follow this requirement when entering a password.
Entering Payment Information:
For this step, you'll need to insert your credit card information. This credit card will be used when you begin adding traceable live devices to your account. At this time, no charges are being made as we haven't added any devices yet.
Wi-Fi Setup:
Now it's time to set up the Wi-Fi connection for your traceable live device. Make sure you have the device in front of you with the probes plugged in and batteries inserted. Press and hold the Wi-Fi button until "ap" appears on the screen. After 5 seconds, tap the Wi-Fi button once more. The screen should now say "ap ready."
Connecting Unit to Wi-Fi Network:
Next, we'll connect your traceable live device to your Wi-Fi network using your mobile device. Open the settings section on your smartphone and tap on "Wi-Fi." Select your Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks.
Opening Web Browser on Mobile Phone:
To continue, open your web browser on your mobile phone. For Android devices, the default browser is usually Google Chrome. For iPhones, it's likely to be Safari. Tap on the browser icon to open it. In the URL box, enter "192.168.1.1" and press enter or go.
Adding and Confirming Device:
Now, add and confirm your device by following the steps on the website. Enter the device information, including the device name, serial number, device key, location, description, channel 1 and 2 alarms, and logging interval.
Entering Device Information:
Finally, connect your device to your account by entering your email and password on the traceable live website. Click on "Login" and then "Add Device." Enter the device information, and once you're done, click on "Add."
