SensorMesh is the shaded part of the diagram below. Relay nodes detect standard beacon advertising and relay it to a SensorMesh™ gateway node via standard Bluetooth® mesh. The gateway node outputs the data via USB to a PC, Linux box, Android, Raspberry Pi, single board computer, our Gateway Box or any device with a USB port.
The relay nodes look like a USB dongle. The USB is only used for power. Nodes can be powered by equipment or vehicles having a USB socket or separately using a USB mains adapter (not supplied). In temporary or mobile scenarios, such as exhibitions and construction sites, they can be self-powered using a USB power bank for up to 6 months.
The gateway node also looks like a USB dongle but is larger than the relay nodes. It connects to hardware that sends the data to a server such as BeaconServer™ or BeaconRTLS™.
SensorMesh™ relays standard Bluetooth LE advertising. When used with iBeacon or Eddystone beacons, SensorMesh™ output enables you to determine the location of assets and people to the nearest relay node. Choose between wearable, waterproof, sensor, ultra small, long battery life beacons or a mix of these. We supply over 100 models of beacon from 30 manufacturers.
When using SensorMesh™ with sensor beacons, you can detect movement, temperature, humidity, air pressure, light, open/closed, close proximity and human proximity (PIR).
SensorMesh™ is stand-alone hardware with no subscription and isn't software as a service (SAAS).
It's a one off purchase with no ongoing costs.
