Live device count, online/offline status, and a real-time map that shows which flag each pole is flying — U.S., state, or POW/MIA. Spot a problem instantly: a stuck flag or torn flag is flagged right in the device list. Click any pole to raise, lower, half-staff, or stow it remotely.
FlagSentry continuously monitors federal, state, and local half-staff orders and positions the flag automatically — to half-staff and back — including special rules like Memorial Day’s half-staff-until-noon.
FlagSentry intelligently pulls live local weather data from the National Weather Service (NWS) to auto-stow the flag in high winds, then redeploys when it’s safe. The same system receives EAS / severe-weather alerts and can broadcast spoken warnings, turning every flagpole into a community alert point. Configure exactly which events notify you.
Build multi-step announcements — play audio, speak custom text-to-speech, insert timed pauses — and schedule them (like a nightly park-closing notice) or fire them instantly fleet-wide for a lost-child emergency. Severe-weather announcements trigger automatically from NWS alerts, lowering and securing flags while warning the public. Plus Reveille, Taps, and a warning tone before the flag moves.
An optional light sensor detects color fade over time, and the stow mechanism can detect a torn flag during operation — so you’re alerted to replace it before it shows distress.
Raise, lower, half-staff, or stow any device from the portal. Even with no connection, FlagSentry keeps running its schedule, ceremonies, and weather protection locally.
Every customer organization has its own users, roles, and devices, with admin tooling for larger operators. Group your poles, manage members, and request to represent a municipality so others can follow your half-staff orders.
