Mobile App: Entering Bin Checks

When needed, the Status Screen of your barn will show a Calibration card at the top of the screen, prompting you to perform a Bin Check.

1. Tap on the green button (may say “Bin Level Reset” or “Bin Level Calibration”)
2. Select the Method
   a. Click the green ? button for more information if you are unsure
3. If you’re entering a Bin Check from earlier, click on the date/time and update it
4. Enter the estimated levels for all the bins connected to the sensors you are calibrating
   e.g. bins 1 and 2 in the screenshot belong to the same tandem so you would enter values for both
5. Tap Create

Once you enter Bin Checks for all bins being monitored by FeedFlo, the card disappears.
