Overview
Watchport sensors provide a plug-and-play solution for Drop-
in Networking applications. Each sensor connects to Digi’s
XBee
®
sensor adapter (sold separately) for wireless connectivity
to sensor data over a low power ZigBee network. Sensors are
available to measure distance, proximity, temperature/humdity,
acceleration/tilt, and the presence of water. Monitoring
remote assets with Watchport sensors can preempt damage to
facilities, reduce costly maintenance and warn of threatening
environmental conditions.
When used in a Drop-in Network with Digi’s ConnectPort
®
X
gateways, Watchport sensors can be monitored over a Wide
Area Network (WAN) connection, providing centralized
monitoring of geographically distributed sensor points. Plus,
the Python
®
programming engine on the ConnectPort X
provides the software tools to integrate multiple sensors and
create custom applications using sensor readings.
Watchport sensors can be used in many Drop-in Networking
applications. Monitor temperature and humidity levels in a
refrigeration unit or grain silo; detect the presence of water in
a livestock pen; activate a Watchport camera or an alarm when
an access point is encroached; or reduce energy consumption
by automatically powering down lights or other environmental
systems when inhabitants are no longer detected.
Create a Drop-in Network with sensors to monitor
critical environmental data over a wireless connection.
Ideal for remote monitoring of critical
environmental data
