Sensors and devices

Water meters, air quality monitors, people counters, trackers and more: these are devices we have supplied, installed and run on our networks. When nothing on the market fits, we build our own.

The IoT CI wireless LoRaWAN radon monitor

Our own device · ready to order

Wireless LoRaWAN radon monitor

Our own radon monitor runs for five years and more on its battery, with no power or data cable, so it goes wherever the reading needs to be taken. Continuous readings, dashboards and alerts, in place of a three-month passive detector.

500+devices connected to our LoRaWAN network
200+water meters read remotely on one estate

From sensor to screen

Devices are only useful once the data reaches someone who acts on it.

The Digital Jersey Hub dashboard: a 3D floor plan with air quality for each room, people counts, door states and free desks
The live dashboard we built for the Digital Jersey Hub: air quality in every room, people in each space, open doors and free desks, from more than 80 sensors. Read the case study.

We test devices where they will live. Here a flood sensor is proved in a drainage chamber before it goes into service.

From idea to fleet

How we take a new device into service, as we did with our radon monitor.

  1. Start with the problem

    What do you need to know, how often, and what will you do about it? The answer decides the sensor, not the other way round.

  2. Prototype

    A working device on the bench and then in the field, built on proven LoRa and ESP32 boards, often within days.

  3. Firmware

    Low-power firmware that sleeps between readings, joins the network reliably and recovers on its own after a power cut or a lost signal.

  4. Payload and decoder

    A compact message format, and a decoder that turns each uplink into named readings and device health.

  5. Onboarding at scale

    Device profiles, keys and provisioning so units can be deployed, swapped and replaced in quantity.

  6. Dashboards and alerts

    Live readings, history and alerts by SMS, email or phone, in your system or ours.

What we bring

LoRa and ESP32 hardware

Heltec, CubeCell, LilyGO and ESP32 boards; ultrasonic distance, temperature probes, pulse counting, voltage and environmental sensors.

Firmware

Arduino and RadioLib for LoRaWAN, ESPHome for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, with careful attention to power, joins and nonce handling.

Any LoRaWAN device

We write and maintain decoders for off-the-shelf sensors from Milesight, Elsys, Synetica, Watteco, RAK and many others, so they work on day one.

Cellular devices

4G trackers and telematics units configured and updated over the air, on multi-network IoT SIMs.

Bluetooth and local radio

Bluetooth Low Energy presence and plant sensors, Zigbee and Z-Wave, bridged to the network through small local hubs.

Field diagnostics

Purpose-built diagnostic firmware for each sensor type, so problems in the field are found quickly and fixed once.

Need a device for a job, or one that won't behave?

We can recommend and supply the right device, prototype a new one, or get an existing one decoding and reporting properly on your network.
