01

SENTINX's backend is a self-hosted Node.js service. Install it on a VPS or on any shared cPanel host that offers Node.js app support.

02

The Android app connects to the server you set up in step 1. It installs with a visible icon and a persistent notification.

03

New app versions ship bug fixes and new features. Updates don't remove pairing.

04

Back up before every update. Updates are a manual file swap plus a restart.

05

Once a device is paired, everything happens from your dashboard.
