The date for paid SensDesk.com service is postponed to 28.2.2022

24. 11. 2021

Dear customers,

We announced in previous newsletters that the HW group s.r.o company has changed its policy of the portal www.SensDesk.com and www.HWg-cloud.com services.

There are several thousand customers of SensDesk.com who created their free user accounts for 3 or 10 devices in the past. We had plan to close all those free accounts to 30.11. 2021.

Based on your feedback, we decided to give our customers more time. Free accounts on SensDesk.com (based on old Terms & conditions) will stay running up to 28.2.2022. We hope to give you more time to think about how to manage your accounts in the future and eventually migrate your devices.

From 28.2.2022 it will be not possible to keep using the SensDesk.com portal free of charge. If you have free account on SensDesk.com you have to buy new subscription or you have to migrate your devices to another portal. You can find your options below.

It used to be possible to create and run a free user account on SensDesk.com using a limited number of devices & limited services. This is changing now, no more free user accounts on this portal.

Because there are so many changes, we are organizing a webinar for all SensDesk.com users to help them navigate their further actions concerning SensDesk Technology and the eventual migration of their devices. If you are interested in joining this public webinar just click this registration link. We are looking forward to having you.

Customers can create a new account on hwg-cloud.com and migrate their currently connected devices from SensDesk.com. It takes 30 seconds per device.

  • Basic device management
  • Simple Graphs (history of 10 days only)
