Our Recommendations

Plant-room floor

→ PS-210 leak rope + dry-mounted LoRaWAN node

Bund / drip tray

→ PS-211 spot leak probe

Riser or plant-room door

→ PS-220 door/window contact

Day tank or sump

→ PS-240 water-level kit

Pro Tips

  • Run ropes along the lowest expected water path, not at eye level
  • Keep the radio node dry even when the rope is wet
  • Survey gateway coverage before locking sensor count
  • Map decoder payload version in the dashboard on day one

Our Recommendations

Pipe branch with isolation

→ PS-260 pipe flow kit

Utility pressure watch

→ PS-270 pipe pressure kit

Tank or pit

→ PS-240 level + optional leak rope

Workshop floor

→ PS-210 / PS-211 leak kits

Pro Tips

  • Re-zero flow and pressure after line work
  • Quote isolation and hygiene SOPs before install
  • Outdoor yards usually need a dedicated gateway
  • Keep process units (bar, L/min, m) in the decoder map

Our Recommendations

Field or greenhouse plot

→ PS-410 soil moisture/EC

Canopy light

→ PS-420 PAR light kit

Weather station

→ PS-450 wind + PS-460 rain

Food-contact check

→ PS-610 food-grade needle temperature

Pro Tips

  • Soil EC is a proxy for salts—calibrate against your agronomy practice
  • Food probes follow the site HACCP cleaning SOP
  • Weather kits need a clear mounting pole and gateway line of sight
  • Kits log data; they do not replace your food-safety plan
