Verify Sensor Status

Use the Sensors page and the details panel to confirm that Grillo Cloud is receiving data from a sensor.

Statuses​

StatusMeaning
OnlineA health report arrived in the last 2.5 minutes and every check passes
DegradedThe sensor is reporting, but something needs attention: Weak signal (below -95 dBm), Clock offset (more than 50 ms), or Data arriving late (more than 2 seconds)
OfflineNo health report in the last 2.5 minutes. The reason says since when, for example No data since 14:05 or No data for 3 d
DisabledReserved for sensors taken out of service on purpose. No sensor shows this status yet

A sensor that has never reported shows Offline with No data received.

If Grillo Cloud itself cannot fetch new sensor data, a warning at the top of the page says since when, and statuses stay as they were rather than turning offline.

Checklist after setup or maintenance​

  1. Open Sensors and search for the station code.
  2. Confirm it is Online, or Degraded with a reason you expect.
  3. Open its details and check Last 24 h shows recent data.
  4. Check Signal, Power, and Time sync.
  5. Confirm the coordinates and the firmware version.

To prove seismic data is arriving too:

  • Continuous sensors: select Show live signal and tap the enclosure lightly. The trace should respond.
  • Triggered sensors: tap the side of the enclosure firmly enough to cross the threshold. A new trigger appears on cloud.grillo.io/triggers within about a minute.

If a sensor is offline​

  1. Confirm the Device ID is correct.
  2. Check that the sensor has power from its supply: 9–16 V DC for Grillo Pulse, USB-C for Grillo One.
  3. Check the connection for its variant: Ethernet link, Wi-Fi, or cellular service and SIM.
  4. Ask the site's network administrator whether outbound UDP is allowed. Sensors send to Grillo on UDP ports 5683 and 5684.
  5. Give the sensor a few minutes to start and connect.
  6. Look at Last 24 h and Last 30 days in its details to see when it last reported and whether it has been dropping out.
  7. Contact support with the Device ID, last-seen time, power arrangement, connection type, and screenshots.

If a sensor is degraded​

  • Weak signal: move the antenna or the sensor, or use an external antenna.
  • Clock offset: the sensor cannot keep accurate time. Check that it has a working internet connection; if it persists, contact support.
  • Data arriving late: the connection is slow or congested. Check the signal, or move to Ethernet where possible.

Follow the troubleshooting guide for the hardware: Grillo Pulse or Grillo One.
