01
Setting up your server
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
Installing the app on the child's device
The Android app connects to the server you set up in step 1. It installs with a visible icon and a persistent notification.
03
Updating the app
New app versions ship bug fixes and new features. Updates don't remove pairing.
04
Updating the server
Back up before every update. Updates are a manual file swap plus a restart.
05
Using the dashboard
Once a device is paired, everything happens from your dashboard.
