The multifunction sensor simplifies the logistics of deploying sensors in that only one type of sensor is required to perform many types of sensing functions. The typical wireless sensor/gateway range will allow monitoring within an average size home. For larger areas or difficult access, multiple gateways may be used to increase coverage. |
The inexpensive cost of the Mi-Sensor-1 and Mi-Gateway-1 combination gives them a significant price advantage over competing solutions.
The ability to receive sensor notifications by email or smart phone allows you to take action immediately to protect your assets.
- Winter property monitoring for cold temperatures that could lead
to frozen pipes.
- Summer property monitoring for excessive heat that could damage
contents.
- Monitor vacant commercial property temperatures to avoid frozen
pipes.
- Temperature sensitive asset monitoring.
- Server room temperature monitoring.
- Boiler temperature monitoring to detect boiler failures.
- Warehouse temperature monitoring.
- HVAC system monitoring to detect heating or cooling issues.
- Freezer and cooler temperature monitoring to detect failure and
prevent food spoilage.
- Greenhouse temperature monitoring.
- Hot tub housing temperature monitoring for failure that may lead
to freezing.
Wireless Moisture/Water Sensing
- Water heater leak detection.
- Sump pit overflow monitoring.
- Basement water monitoring.
- Toilet leak detection.
- Burst water pipe monitoring.
- Notification on low reservoir level.
- Detect damp or dry soil conditions.
- Door and window movement without the need for contacts.
- Movement of construction equipment during off-hours.
- Fence mount detects someone climbing over or cutting through wire
fences.
- Notification of glass breaking or hit.
- Movement of lawn ornaments.
- Movement of household or business items.
- Notification someone knocking on a door.
- Notification that an object attached to sensor has fallen to the
ground.
- Residential or Commercial door and window access with the addition
of dry magnetic contacts.
- Garage, Shed, Barn, Freezer, Cargo door monitoring.
- Wireless notification of pressing the sensor test button.
- Use as a remote control function.
- Detect a missing sensor by having the monitoring service send an alarm if periodic sensor reports are missed indicating the sensor has gone out of range of the gateway(s).
- Use the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value to detect how far the sensor is from the gateway.
- Create a custom application to use the RSSI from multiple gateways to triangulate sensor location.
- Check relative humidity levels using the external humidity element.
- Ensure your home is comfortable.
- Detect potential molding conditions before they happen.
- Check light levels using the external light element.
- Monitor green house sun light levels.
- Get a notification if a room light is turned on.
- Check for changes in capacitance.
- Make your own touch sensitive surface.
- Measure millivolts AC directly.
- Using external voltage divider measure any AC voltage.
- Measure millivolts DC directly.
- Using external voltage divider measure any DC voltage.
- Check if a backup battery is getting too low.
- Measure Amp hours using the external current transformer element.
- Accumulated current per hour can easily be converted to power usage by multiplying by constant line voltage.
- Do your own automatic meter reading.
- Track your power consumption and produce graphs of energy vs time usage.
