Introduction
Data acquisition is done using the JRI BlueTooth thermometers. Pairing and adjusting a BlueTooth thermometer The synchronization of information between the MyFoodCheck app and MySirius (Cloud JRI) is made via an internet connection. If MySirius is set up on a client’s server, the synchronization will be done over the client’s network.

- Internet connection for the data synchronization with MySirius.
- JRI Bluetooth thermometer : BlueTherm One / TempTest Blue or RayTemp Blue
- MySirius subscription and account with activation of the FoodCheck module.
- Configuration of the FoodCheck module in MySirius
Setting up the Food Check module in MySirius
The settings are done through the FOOD CHECK tab. 4 main sections are displayed on the dashboard:
- Results
- Checklists
- Store
- Preferences
A menu allows the display of all the functionalities.
