The challenge
Radon is normally checked with a passive detector left in a room for three months and then posted to a laboratory. Property owners and employers in high-radon areas wanted continuous readings: whether levels rise overnight, whether ventilation or remediation has worked, and which rooms need action, without running cables or needing a socket in every room they want to measure.
What we did
- Specified the product. A truly wireless LoRaWAN radon monitor that runs for five years and more on its battery, with no power or data cable, so it can be placed wherever the reading needs to be taken and left there.
- A bespoke build, made to our own specification and tested through to a finished, saleable product.
- Wrote the integration guide and payload decoders for the main LoRaWAN network servers, ChirpStack v4, The Things Network and Helium, so the monitor works on any network.
- Long-term averaging and placement guidance, so short-term readings are interpreted correctly against annual action levels.
- Dashboards and alerts on our platform, with live readings, history and threshold alerts.
The result
A finished, truly wireless radon monitor that runs for five years and more on its battery, joins any LoRaWAN network and reports radon in Bq/m³ around the clock. It is available to order now, on its own or with network connectivity, dashboards and alerts. Order radon monitors or ask us about a trial. See the wireless LoRaWAN radon monitor and radon monitoring.
