CONNECTING THE CONTROLLER TO Z CONTROL
By connecting the controller to the Z Control
Cloud using the built-in WiFi, the user can set up
free alert messages via email, text, and mobile
app "push" notifications. In addition, the user
can verify controller readiness, remotely silence
alarms and reset the unit, configure settings, and
modify how notifications are sent. Other visual
information such as input status and battery level
are available through the web and app interfaces.
Option 1 - Use the Mobile App (iOS and Android)
Before you begin:
•
Know what the WiFi router is named (i.e.
SSID) and password. To prevent the most
common troubleshooting issues, double
check to be sure you know exactly how the
password is spelled, including capitalization.
•
Verify that your mobile device has working
WiFi with a strong signal when you are
standing next to the Basement Sentry
controller. If the signal is questionable, the
controller may not be able to maintain a stable
connection.
•
Verify your WiFi router is connected to the
internet and that it is broadcasting a visible,
secure, 2.4Ghz network.
•
2.4 Ghz network is required. If you only see 5
Ghz networks, you may need to log into your
dual band router to choose to broadcast the
networks separately.
These instructions provide an overview of what
the app will do. You may find additional steps
needed.
1. Open the app and sign in to your account, or
create an account using the link at the bottom.
If you do not have an account, you will need to
click the link at the bottom of the home screen
to create an account.

There are two ways to connect the Basement
®
Sentry controller to the Z Control
Option 1 - Use the Z Control
Use the Mobile App section below.
Option 2 - Use a mobile device or computer to
connect to the controller directly. See use Mobile
Device Page 13.
•
Band steering may need to be temporarily
turned off during setup.
•
The 2.4Ghz network must use WPA or WPA2
security. WEP and open networks are not
acceptable.
•
Any VPNs or other network controls may need
to be temporarily turned off during setup.
•
Locate the Basement Sentry Device ID
located on the top of the controller.
•
Like most internet connected devices, the
Basement Sentry controller WiFi connectivity
should be used behind the security of a
firewall. Most routers have a firewall built into
them. Consult a networking professional for
specific questions about firewalls.
NOTE: The list above will also help troubleshoot
connectivity issues.
