Meraki in the Modern Network: Part 6 – MT Environmental Sensors

A secure, reliable network does more than move data - it protects the environment it lives in. Power, temperature, and humidity all play a part in uptime, and Meraki MT sensors make it simple to monitor them without extra tools or guesswork.

Meraki MT sensors track temperature, humidity, water leaks, door access, and even ambient noise. They connect wirelessly to your existing MR access points or MV cameras, eliminating the need for separate gateways or controllers. Once online, they start feeding live environmental data into the Meraki Dashboard alongside your other network devices.

From there, you can view trends, set thresholds, and create alerts that trigger when conditions fall outside of range. If a server closet gets too warm or a water sensor detects a leak, the dashboard sends instant notifications by email, text, or webhook - giving IT a chance to act before equipment or uptime is at risk.

MT sensors also add operational visibility. You can monitor room temperatures across multiple sites, confirm that critical doors remain closed, or track energy conditions that might affect performance. All of it ties directly into the same cloud dashboard you already use for your switches, access points, and cameras.

When combined with MX, MS, and MR devices, MT sensors extend Meraki’s cloud-managed control into the physical layer of your environment - delivering a true, end-to-end view of your network health.

At iKan, we help organizations deploy Meraki solutions that protect every layer of their operation - from connectivity to the environment itself.
