Sensors

You can connect your sensors and smart objects using KotahiNet’s LoRaWAN network. Alternatively, you can focus on building IoT services while we look after the sensors, firmware and network integration. We call this “sensor data as a service“.

Sensor data can be accessed as the raw stream or using APIs (in which case we will look after data storage and processing). Build apps and services straight off the data stream or using APIs. Alternatively, ingest the sensor data into your own IT system as well as monitor and control end devices.

Other Sensors

There are sensors available globally for almost any physical parameter that can be measured. If a sensor you’re interested in isn’t listed above, email us. We will source and integrate an appropriate sensor with KotahiNet’s network including:

Environment

Chemicals (such as CO, CO2, NO2, O3), Radiation

Physical

Proximity, Movement, Weight, Vibration, Tilt, Presence (PIR), Luminosity

Liquids

Leakage, pH, Conductivity, Temperature, Turbidity

City/Building Services

Crack propagation, Sound level, Dust (PM 10), Parking

 

Pricing

Depends on the sensor type and quantity. Generally, at a fixed monthly cost or a lifetime upfront cost.
