How will I know when my sensor needs new batteries?
When your sensor's batteries become critically low, you will receive a text message advising which sensor(s) require new batteries. Additionally, you can always get the status of the battery life from within your Roost 360 App. Under My Devices, select the three grey dots to the right of the sensor and you will see status icons for both battery life and signal strength.
