MT SENSORS Archive
MT sensors require a dashboard license to operate, however, the licenses are not hardware-SKU specific.
Similar to the free MV sense licenses, Meraki provides five free licenses for MT sensors to all new and existing organizations, and these licenses do not expire. Note that these licenses cannot be transferred to another organization in either co-term or PDL model.
MT sensors uses Bluetooth® Low Energy to communicate with Meraki IoT gateways.
Supported IoT gateway devices are second-generation MVs and Wi-Fi 6 MRs. A full list of supported gateways is below.
| MV | MR |
MV2, MV12(W/WE/N), MV22(X), MV32, MV63(X), MV72(X), MV93(X) | Wi-Fi 5 Wave 2 APs - MR33, MR42, MR42E, MR52, MR53, MR53E, MR74, MR84 Wi-Fi 6 APs - MR28, MR36, MR36H, MR44, MR45, MR46, MR46E, MR55, MR56, MR76, MR78, MR86 Wi-Fi 6E APs - MR57, CW9162-MR, CW9164-MR, CW9166-MR |
WARNING: Environmental sensors are only supported with second-generation MV cameras and compatible MR APs.
Yes. The MT functionality was ported to support Wi-Fi 5 APs as a gateway. The minimum firmware requirement for MT support on Wi-Fi 5 APs is MR 28.6+. Please refer to the list of compatible gateways for accurate and up-to-date information.
As long as the minimum requirements are met as per the MT Installation Guides and the sensor is within range of the gateway, it will automatically connect to any compatible gateway that picks up the Bluetooth Low Energy advertisement of the sensor.
MT sensors cannot be assigned to a specific gateway. When the sensor wake up, they will connect to any gateway in range that is in the same Dashboard network.
MT sensors have onboard storage that will retain approximately the last five days of data. Upon reconnecting to the Meraki dashboard, all data points will be uploaded.
In order to conserve battery life, MT sensors are in sleep mode the majority of the time. They wake up at a set regular interval to connect and report data to the gateway, which in turn uploads it to the Meraki cloud. Below is the sampling rate and connections per device type:
| MT10 | Data sampling: 2 minutes Connection interval: 20 minutes |
| MT11 (w/temperature probes) | Data sampling: 2 minutes |
| MT12 | Data sampling: event driven Connection interval: 20 minutes |
| MT14 | Data sampling: Connection interval: 20 minutes |
| MT20 | Data sampling: event driven Connection interval: 20 minutes |
All sensors will wake up immediately if a configured threshold has been violated or if any event occurs in binary sensors like MT12 or MT20.
| MV | MR |
MV12(W/WE/N), MV22(X), MV32, MV72(X) - MV 4.8+ MV2 - MV 4.17+ MV63(X), MV93(X) - MV 5.0+ | Wi-Fi 5 APs - MR 28.6+ Wi-Fi 6 APs - MR 27.6+ Wi-Fi 6E APs - MR 28.6+ |
Please refer to Managing Firmware Upgrades to schedule an upgrade.
MT sensors use Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 to communicate with the gateway. Since Bluetooth Low Energy operates between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz, the range depends on the same principles as 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
It is recommended to have a maximum of 32 sensors per gateway to ensure connection quality.
Minimum firmware requirement for a gateway to support 32 sensors:
MR - 28.5+
MV - 4.14+
Any firmware older than above only supports eight sensors per gateway.
No, MT devices are designed for indoor use only. The MT12 is IPX5-rated (can resist a sustained, low-pressure water jet spray) and has a rubber liner to separate the power/battery compartment from being splashed or exposed to water. Still recommended NOT to submerge in water, as the rating states.
The temperature sensor supports 0°C - 55°C / 32°F - 131°F (accuracy: +/- 0.3°C) while using the included AA batteries. The humidity sensor ranges from 0-95%. That said, it is NOT an outdoor (IP67) or harsh environment-rated product.
