You can register your mobile phone as a sensor under Settings/Manage Blitzers to create your own Blitzer immediately. If you need any assistance, do not hesitate to contact technical support at technicalsupport@eigent.com.
To Install:
Simply download the Blitzl app using the applicable link above;
Register and/or Log in;
Interact with Blitzers by Category in view on the Home page;
Find connections and chats in Contacts/Contacts.
When you are in the vicinity of a Blitzer, its chosen Category will appear on your Home screen. To start a conversation, simply tap on that Category and then their name. You can send the owner of the Blitzer a message and start a chat. Now you can also join the Blitzer to receive broadcast messages from its owner.
To Set Up Your Own Blitzer:
Go to Settings/Manage Blitzers and select a Blitzer with a unique sensor code in range;;
Follow the steps to configure the Blitzl Free mobile phone as sensor and/or Pro IP66 Blitzl sensor(s) with your preferred Category and Content;
Optionally, configure indoor or outdoor Locational Blitzl sensors for more targeted and efficient service by clicking on the location icon, naming the location and selecting unique sensor code in range; and
Find connections and chats in Contacts/Patrons.
Blitzers can be edited or deleted at any time. You cannot see your own Blitzers on the Home page - just the Blitzers of others in range. Note that when using portable individual mobile phone Blitzl sensor mode you can only see the Blitzers of others on the Home page when both have the app opened.
Our Pro Plan uses separate small fixed and portable Blitzl sensors in various formats for longer range, always-on service. Contact us for more information and attractive pricing.
