# How often will sensor readings update?

## BinSentry sensors will try to send a level reading every 4 hours.

Our industry leading technology will take a reading every 4 hours, this will provide you with 6 quality inventory readings per day. This is the right mix of access to information, but also ensuring device longevity. 

Since we take levels at this interval, you may notice from time to time that you do not see a delivery you would expect to see. This would be a case where we took a level before the delivery, and the refill won't show through for a couple of hours until the next reading. 

Since there could be time between the refill and when we show read it, consumption may occur depending on your set up. This would mean the total refill amount we detected could be different (lower), if feed had already been drawn out or consumed.
