Awareness hero

Aware. When You're Not There.™

See exactly what's happening in and around your deployed IoT devices — from anywhere — with OptConnect aware routers, each with built-in sensors that trigger tamper detection alerts, environmental and power loss alerts, and awareness intelligence.

Why you need awareness

Extreme temps. Humidity. Tampering. Power outages or someone unplugging the wrong cord.

Any one of these can knock connectivity offline and disrupt business operations instantly. And if  you’re not on-site, even small issues can spiral into costly downtime and truck rolls.

That’s why Aware Intelligence™ is at the core of every OptConnect aware router—for real-time visibility, alerts, and key AI-empowered insights into the environment in and around your equipment.

Lost power onsite? Unplugged device?

Power Loss Alerts

Get notified the moment mission-critical devices lose power — stay one step ahead of downtime.

Device running hotter than it should?

Temperature Tracking

Prevent costly damage and downtime with real-time temperature monitoring.

Too much moisture near your equipment?

Humidity Detection

Identify excess humidity before it causes corrosion, mold, or electronic failures.

Someone disturbing your equipment?

Tamper Alerts

Instantly detect physical interference (e.g., the unit is being tipped or moved).

Your technicians really on site?

Technician Activity Tracking

Automatically log time on-site to ensure jobs are done — and done right.

Device being moved?

Movement Sensors

Instantly know via onboard GPS if your device is being moved.

Increased activity in the area?

Noise & Activity Detection

Notice if activity or noise levels are more (or less) than usual around your equipment.

Need audit trail for compliance?

Data Tracking

Get historical visibility from awareness data for diagnostics, compliance, or partner SLAs.
Get awareness insights about your device from anywhere — 24/7.
**Free during early access**

How you become aware

Thanks to built-in sensors, each router in the OptConnect aware series keeps you alerted to environmental conditions in and around your connected equipment.

Simply plug in your device and assign an aware license for out-of-box connectivity + awareness. No additional setup, configuration, or calibration needed.

Best of all? Aware Intelligence taps into the power of AI to analyze all awareness monitoring information and informs you when things are out of the ordinary. You can set your own alert criteria for each site; but even if you don’t, awareness will show you when anomalies pop up. In a real way, awareness lets you be everywhere at once. 
 

Which aware device is right for you?

Choose the neo2 aware or max aware + Wi-Fi for lightning-fast connectivity plus real-time insights about what’s going on inside and around your equipment. Choose the mylo aware (coming soon) for slower applications that require AI-driven awareness intelligence.

What awareness looks like in Summit

Now in preview for aware users — track real-time temperature and humidity, see trends over time, monitor power events, and more in Summit. Just head to your Devices page and tap the Awareness tab. 

Worried about environmental conditions? Summit now shows temperature and humidity averages over a 3-month period, helping you establish norms and set parameters for safe levels in the future.

Enjoy early access to awareness features

For a limited time, take advantage of awareness features for free, including humidity and temperature charts, and power status alerts that let you know what’s happening in and around your equipment. Licensing details will follow in the future.

New awareness features coming soon

In development: watch for even more environmental sensor data — including motion detection, light level monitoring, and sound sensing capabilities.

Hardware health: proactive protection for your aware device

At OptConnect, we prioritize the ongoing health and performance of every aware device in the field. That’s why we’ve enhanced our intelligent monitoring system to provide real-time alerts — which help keep your device operating within optimal parameters.

You will now receive critical alerts in the following scenarios:

If your OptConnect aware router approaches its maximum safe operating temperature, you’ll be notified before it automatically powers down to maintain performance and longevity.

If your OptConnect aware router runs beyond the expected battery usage window, you’ll receive an alert before it initiates a controlled shutdown to preserve battery health.

In the rare event that a battery anomaly is detected, we’ll notify you with next steps, including access to a warrantied battery replacement if needed.

Please note: Every aware customer receives these intelligent alerts as part of their standard service — at no additional cost. Simply enable notifications inside the Summit platform to automatically receive alerts.

Ran Margalit

CEO at ShelfX

I would recommend OptConnect because it works right out of the box, it’s easy to set up, and we have zero issues. Though we appreciate having access to 24/7 customer support, we haven’t even needed it because of how well the product works.

Dan Leary

Founder and CEO at Denowatts

We’ve never offered a cellular option with our service because it’s typically very complex, but OptConnect makes it simple. I know if I make a call I can have a product shipped to me quickly. Nobody offers a better, fully-integrated cellular solution.
