Is it necessary to enable GPS services to set up my sensor?

iOS devices do not require you to enable GPS/location services while using the SimpleSENCE mobile app.

Android devices do require enabling GPS/location services during the installation process, and this is a requirement of all Android devices when using Bluetooth services.

More information on this topic can be found in the Bluetooth Low Energy Overview on the Android developer website, under the section titled "BLE Permissions". If you are using an Android device and you do not want to continue allowing access to GPS data, then after setup is completed you may disable GPS/location services for the SimpleSENCE mobile app, since it is only needed while pairing your Android device with a sensor for installation.
