Sensor Probe IO complements the Sensor Hub platform. It enables various sensors (including those from other brands) to be connected via different communication protocols. Waterproof, it works indoors as well as outdoors. You can connect multiple sensors to a single Hub and extend the connection distance using cables. Choose between LoRaWAN or LoRaWAN+NB IoT depending on your project's data needs and required battery life.
Sensor Probe IO: Expand the capabilities of your Sensor Hub
The Sensor Probe IO is a powerful accessory designed to unlock the full potential of the RAK2560 Sensor Hub platform. It acts as a bridge, allowing you to connect a wide range of sensors to the Hub, greatly expanding your environmental monitoring capabilities.
Key features :
Versatile communication protocols :
Supports industry-standard protocols such as RS-485, SDI-12, 4-20 mA signal and DI/DO, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of sensors.
Integration of third-party sensors :
Connects seamlessly to RAKwireless modules and sensors from other manufacturers, offering flexibility for your project needs.
Selection of pre-configured sensors :
RAKwireless offers a selection of pre-configured sensors compatible with Probe IO, simplifying configuration and guaranteeing optimum performance. Configuration is carried out via the user-friendly WisToolBox application.
Weatherproof design (IP67) :
Designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments, the Probe IO works perfectly both indoors and out.
Evolution :
Connect multiple Sensor Probe IOs to a single Sensor Hub port using a splitter cable, maximizing data collection points.
Extended scope :
Extend the distance between Sensor Hub and probe with an extension cable, ideal for large-scale deployments.
Important notes:
The Sensor Probe IO itself cannot be powered by batteries. It requires a dedicated power supply (included) to operate.
The Probe IO is not a stand-alone product. It requires the RAK2560 Sensor Hub to operate.
Supported sensors :
Sensor Probe IO opens up a world of possibilities by enabling connection with a variety of sensors. Here are just a few examples of compatible sensors:
RK 900-09 weather station: This miniature marvel incorporates wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity and pressure sensors for comprehensive weather monitoring.
RK520-02 soil sensor: This versatile sensor measures soil moisture, temperature and electrical conductivity, providing valuable information for agricultural applications.
JXBS-3001-PH-RS pH sensor: Ideal for monitoring soil pH in agriculture and other environments, this sensor provides accurate readings over a pH range of 3 to 9.
ULB16 water level sensor: Made from robust stainless steel, this sensor accurately measures water levels, making it perfect for water management and monitoring applications.
Pyranometer RK200-03 Solar radiation sensor: Tracks solar activity in solar parks, dependent systems and other applications with exceptional accuracy.
This list represents just a sample of the wide range of sensors compatible with Sensor Probe IO. Thanks to its broad support for communication protocols and its versatility, Probe IO lets you tailor your environmental monitoring system to your specific needs.
