Temperature and humidity
Sensors
A great starting point for any environmental monitoring system.
Third party sensors
Sensors
We know that to make any IoT application work, integrability with other sensors and data feeds is key! The c2 IoT development platform is fully flexible with a technology-agnostic messaging structure that allows the transfers of any type of data packet.
Inertial measurement unit
Sensors
Great for intuitive user control, indoor navigation, or tilt and acceleration monitoring for fragile items.
Voltage
Sensors
Combine with a current clamp (see above) to provide readings of apparent power- great for use in energy monitoring systems
Current clamp
Sensors
A non-intrusive way of measuring current in existing power systems, and used widely as part of ANDtr’s AEMS Power monitoring system
Digital camera
Sensors
Digital cameras capture photographs and video streams for analysis and control. Great for space management, smart homes, assistive living, medical optics sensing and much more.
PIR proximity
Sensors
A passive infrared sensor measures infrared light radiating from objects in its field of view. Most often used for motion detection and proximity applications such as space management, alarm systems, crowd monitoring etc
Temperature
Sensors
Simple and low energy way of reading temperature, thermistors can find use in a variety of applications- environmental monitoring, thermostats, or cooking equipment
Switches and buttons
Sensors
Sometimes a simple switch or button is all that is needed. Whether that be in the form of a reed switch, an array of button configurations, and a multi-selection dial.
Distance
Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors are an industry standard for precision distance measurement- Car parking sensors, Drones, or fill levels in bottling and packaging plants
Microphone and sound
Sensors
Detecting sound whether to record incoming feeds or simply to detect loud noises, a microphone is a versatile sensor that can be deployed in many use cases and applications.
Pressure
Sensors
Can be used as a low cost/energy alternative for weighing small items, or for detection of pressure- under door mats for home security or on chairs for measuring office space use
