3. License management (currently unavailable).
4. Base firmware update. More info here:

3. Search bar. You can search by name and sensor ID.
4. Sensors. Here you can see some info about the sensors, such as the name, ID, picture, and pairing time.

To pair a new sensor or re-pair a sensor with a new measurement interval you should press the "Pair sensor" button and a new window will appear:
After you click "start" this screen will be shown.
The warning shows the way to pair the sensors, the same basic principles from pairing to the base station apply here.
1. Make sure you are within 20 meters of the base station.
2. Remove the batteries for ~20 seconds then add them back in, or press the pair button on the sensor.
3. You have 2 minutes to pair a sensor this way.Through the Aranet Cloud, only single-sensor pairing is possible. After the pairing the session will end and you will have to press the pair button again to pair another sensor
