Real-time hub monitoring

Don't tow blind.

iTM is a wireless sensor that replaces the rubber plug in your trailer's dust cap. It puts every hub's temperature on your phone while you tow and alerts you when one runs hot, before the bearing fails, even when the app is closed.

  • Installs in minutes
  • Live hub temps on your phone
  • Alerts even with the app closed
  • Gets better with OTA updates

Where it fits

It lives in your dust cap.

The sensor replaces the rubber plug in the center of the dust cap, so it reads heat right at the hub. No wiring, no drilling.

The problem

A hot hub gives you no warning from the cab.

By the time you see smoke, you're already on the shoulder. These are real posts from towing groups.

Don't let a bad bearing wreck your trip.

The old way

Stop at every fuel break, walk the trailer, and check each hub by hand or with a temp gun. Hope nothing changed since.

The iTM way

Every hub's temperature on your phone, the whole drive. An alert when one starts running hot, before the bearing fails, so you know when to pull over.

How it works

SensorBluetoothAppAlert

  1. 01Sensor

    Sits in the dust cap and reads hub temperature.

  2. 02Bluetooth LE

    Sends readings to your phone, up to 100 ft line of sight.

  3. 03App

    Shows every hub, live, while you tow.

  4. 04Alert

    Tells you when a hub starts running hot, before the bearing fails, even when the app is closed or your phone is asleep.

Range

From the cab to the farthest hub.

Bumper pull or 5th wheel, your phone stays in the cab. Each sensor is rated up to 100 ft line of sight in open air.

Bumper pull

Phone in the cab Sensor at each hub

5th wheel

Phone in the cab Sensor at each hub

100 ft is open-air line of sight. In-cab range is shorter, because the truck cab, trailer walls and metal sit between your phone and the sensors.

Not your old TPMS

Built on current Bluetooth.

Many towing TPMS sensors use low-power radio chips to save battery. iTM uses current Bluetooth Low Energy technology, made to get hub readings from the trailer to your phone in the cab.

Background alerts need Bluetooth on and your phone in range of the sensors.

Gets better over time. Over-the-air updates add new features to your sensors through the app. No swapping hardware.

What it watches

Bearing and brake heat.

Bearing temp

Real-time heat monitoring inside the hub.

Brake drag alerts

Install

Easy as 1, 2, 3.

No wiring. No drilling. No special tools.

  1. Trailer dust cap with the original rubber plug
    1Pop out the rubber plug

    Remove the rubber plug from the center of your dust cap. Take off any decorative cap first.

  2. Same dust cap with the iTM grommet pressed in
    2Press in the iTM grommet

    Press the iTM grommet into the hole where the plug was.

  3. Same dust cap with the iTM sensor seated
    3Seat the sensor and pair

    Push the sensor in while slowly turning it until it pops into place. Then pair it in the free iTM app and tow.

Will it fit?

Check your dust caps first.

Works with

  • Dust caps with a removable rubber plug
  • Bearing Buddy® protectors, with an adapter

Not supported

  • Closed grease caps with no plug
  • Caps with a clear sight window
  • Chrome end covers, unless swapped for black plastic or removed
Dust cap styles: removable-plug caps are supported, bearing protectors are supported with an adapter; closed grease caps and sight-window caps are not

Swipe the chart to see every cap style.

Chrome end cover over a trailer hub, which blocks the iTM signal Not compatible as is

Chrome end cover? Easy fix.

iTM sends hub temps to your phone over Bluetooth. A chrome end cover over the hub, or one with metallic chrome-look paint, acts like a shield and blocks that signal. The fix is simple: swap it for a black plastic cover or take it off. Then install iTM in the dust cap underneath, as long as it has a removable rubber plug.

Built for travel trailers, 5th wheels, boat trailers, utility trailers, goosenecks and car haulers. Not sure about yours? Tell us your trailer when you join the list.

Questions

Good to know

What does iTM monitor?

Hub temperature at every wheel, live in the app while you tow. Heat building at one hub can point to a bearing or a dragging brake. Vibration detection is coming soon.

Does it replace checking my bearings?

No. iTM shows you hub temperature so you know when to pull over and take a look. Keep up your normal bearing service.

How many sensors do I need?

One per wheel. A single axle takes the 2-sensor kit, a tandem takes 4 and a triple axle takes 6.

What will a kit cost?

Introductory pricing is $189 for the 2-sensor kit, $379 for the 4-sensor kit and $549 for the 6-sensor kit. Kits aren't on sale yet.

Will it fit my trailer?

It works with dust caps that have a removable rubber plug and with Bearing Buddy® protectors using an adapter. Closed grease caps and caps with a sight window aren't supported. A chrome end cover blocks the signal, so swap it for black plastic or remove it. Tell us your trailer when you sign up and we'll follow up on fit.

Will iTM work with a chrome hub cover?

Not through the chrome cover. Chrome end covers, and covers with metallic chrome-look paint, block the Bluetooth signal. Swap the cover for a black plastic one or remove it, then install iTM in the dust cap underneath, as long as it has a removable rubber plug.

How hard is the install?

Pop out the plug, seat the grommet and sensor, and pair in the app. No wiring, no drilling and no special tools.

Will my sensors get new features?

Yes. iTM supports over-the-air updates, so new features can be added to your sensors through the app after you buy.

What about the battery?

Each sensor runs on a standard CR2354 coin cell. Expect about a year with average use. Real battery life varies a lot: how often you tow, the broadcast rate you choose and the temperatures the sensor sees all play a part.

How far does the signal reach?

Each sensor is rated up to 100 ft line of sight in open air. From inside the truck cab, range is shorter, since the cab, trailer walls and metal sit between your phone and the sensors. Keep your phone in the cab, on a bumper pull or a 5th wheel.

How is iTM different from a towing TPMS?

Many towing TPMS sensors use low-power radio chips to stretch battery life. iTM uses current Bluetooth Low Energy technology and talks straight to the free app on your phone, with no separate display to mount.

Do I need the app open to get alerts?

No. Like a leak sensor, iTM pushes an alert to your phone even when the app is closed or your phone is asleep. Keep Bluetooth on and your phone within range of the sensors, up to 100 ft line of sight.

Does the app cost anything?

No. The iTM app is a free download for iPhone and Android.
