Smart Agriculture Xtreme

Smart Agriculture Xtreme is an evolution of our Agriculture line with a new selection of high-end professional sensors. It allows to monitor multiple environmental parameters involving a wide range of applications, from plant growing analysis to weather observation. There are sensors for atmospheric and soil monitoring and plants health. More than 20 sensors can be connected.

Smart Water Xtreme

Smart Water Xtreme includes top market performance sensors from the most prestigious manufacturers for applications such as potable water monitoring, fish farms management, chemical leakage detection, remote measurement of swimming pools and spas, and seawater pollution.

Smart Security

The main applications for this Waspmote Plug & Sense! configuration are perimeter access control, liquid presence detection and doors and windows openings. Besides, a relay system allows this model to interact with external electrical machines.

Sensors: Relay to control external DC units (<30VDC, 1A); IR human presence; Hall effect (doors and windows openings); Water presence; Liquid level; Liquid flow; Temperature; Humidity; Atmospheric pressure; Luminosity (Luxes Accuracy) for Smart Lighting; Ultrasound (distance measurement)

4-20 mA Current Loop

The applications for this Plug & Sense! model are focused on adding wireless connectivity to 4-20 mA devices and connecting them to the Cloud.

Applications: Sensors and instruments; Remote transducers; Monitoring processes; Data transmission in industrial scenarios
Sensors: The user can choose among a wide variety of standard sensors

Industry 4.0

Plug & Sense! Industry 4.0, can operate in three types of situations. It can be used to connect any sensor to an existing industrial bus; it can also add wireless connectivity to wired buses or even connect industrial devices to the cloud. In any case, the aim is offering extremely flexibility and interoperability to any industry that need to send data from the productive process to the Internet with any wireless connectivity.

Ambient Control

Ambient Control allows to you to create basic environment parameters monitoring using the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and luminosity sensors. As well as this, movement and vibrations can be measured by the internal accelerometer.
