In this article, we will explore the usage of Teltonika Eye sensors and beacons with Teltonika Networks devices. The Teltonika Eye sensor is a powerful tool that allows for monitoring and tracking of vehicles and other mobile assets. When paired with Teltonika devices, the sensor can provide a wealth of information such as identification, temperature, humidity and even movement.

When paired with Teltonika devices, the sensor can provide a wealth of information such as identification, temperature, humidity and even movement.

For this use case, we are going to need Teltonika Networks device with '''Bluetooth support''', for example, RUTX11. We are also going to need either a [https://teltonika-gps.com/eye/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAw8OeBhCeARIsAGxWtUyTO_kjiPfwAv1v_4Z_r7kg9AsD3a-4dU9sbOfyGgf2uDOm4lXfefMaAgJAEALw_wcB '''Teltonika EYE sensor'''] or [https://teltonika-gps.com/eye/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAw8OeBhCeARIsAGxWtUyTO_kjiPfwAv1v_4Z_r7kg9AsD3a-4dU9sbOfyGgf2uDOm4lXfefMaAgJAEALw_wcB '''Teltonika EYE beacon'''].
