Tektelic Kona Home sensors are small but powerful LoRaWAN devices, full of sensors to cover all kinds of applications. With a battery life of up to 10 years, depending on configuration, these sensors are ideal for home and office use.
The Kona Home sensor is available in two variants, this Base version and a PIR version.
Temperature & Relative Humidity: Transducer reports temperature and relative humidity of the local environment.
Accelerometer: Configurable triggers allow the sensor to report if it has been moved. Applications include monitoring the opening of doors/drawers/cabinets.
Light Detection: Light transducer reports the presence or absence of light using a configurable intensity threshold.
Magnetic Switch: Digital On/Off sensing with an internal magnetic switch. Fix the sensor to a door frame and add a magnet to monitor activity.
External Connection: External contacts connected with a short cable can be monitored for on/off states or used to count events. Add extra sensors here, or connect to water/electricity meter pulse outputs.
Moisture Detection: Capacitive transducer mounted in the sensor case detects pooling water under the device, for flood or leak detection. Mount the sensor close to the floor in your basement to detect flooding.
The sensor is highly configurable, and settings are changed by LoRaWAN downlink payload. The measurement intervals, and uplinks sent on each trigger can all be fully configured. The device can be set to measure and transmit only the parameters of interest, maximising battery life.
We have created a payload decoder function for the Things Network, available here.
