My Protern.io Sensor won't connect via USB

Try different cables, different USB ports on the computer and make sure you are using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge as your browser.

There are a few simple things you can try to get your Protern.io Sensor to connect to your computer.

  1. Different USB cable
  2. Different USB port on your computer
  3. Make sure you are using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge

Different USB cable

Sometimes a cable can be used for charging but won't like to transfer data. Try another USB-C cable with your computer to see if the issue is the cable.

Different USB port on your computer

As computers age the USB ports can become unreliable. Try plugging your cable into a different port. If you have USB hub that works, you can try plugging into the hub.

Use Google Chrome or MS Edge

USB upload is a feature supported by Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. Safari, Firefox, Opera, etc do not support USB uploading yet.

None of those options work? Please contact us at support@protern.io and let us know what you tried.
