STICKER

If you need a small wireless sensor, the HARDWARIO STICKER may be the right solution. It can collect data about the surrounding environment and also allows the connection of external sensors. It communicates wirelessly over LoRaWAN and is powered by two AA batteries.

Product overview

Low-power design

Reliable and long operation on standard AA batteries

Open-source firmware

Ability to create your applications or update the existing ones

Custom branding

Full OEM branding service, including custom color printing

Motion sensor PIR

Simply detect movement in the environment with the integrated sensor

LoRaWAN connection

Create a private LoRaWAN network or use Public LoRaWAN networks

Industry logic

Scan up to two digital inputs for 24V industrial logic

Voltage measurements

Wirelessly measure up to 2 channels of voltage up to 30V

Easy installation
and secure wireless connectivity

Simple installation of the sensor at a specific location is greatly simplified by wireless data transmission. For low-power devices, this can be achieved by using the LoRaWAN network that STICKER supports. For close communication, NFC support, which is included in most modern phones, is also integrated.

Reliable battery life of at least one year

STICKER was designed from the ground up to be a low-power device, providing at least one year of operation from primary AA cells. Changing batteries is as easy as a TV remote control thanks to the customized housing of the device.

Easy extensibility

STICKER includes ports for expanding functions. For example, 1-Wire temperature sensors, strain gauges and many other types of external probes can be connected. Another option is to switch the inputs into a mode where they work with 24V industrial logic (PNP and NPN), detect dry contact or serve as an ADC converter for voltages up to 30V.

STICKER Input

Contains the communication bus for 1-Wire sensors. In addition, compared to Clime, it integrates a Hall probe for magnetic field detection. It can also measure temperature and humidity.

STICKER Motion

This variant includes an integrated PIR motion sensor. It can detect people at a distance of up to 4m with a minimum viewing angle of 50°. Of course, there is also an integrated accelerometer to detect the movement of the device.

Easy LoRaWAN network setup

If you do not have your own LoRaWAN network yet, you can simply start this network locally using the HARDWARIO EMBER product. Starting LoRaWAN is as simple as setting up a Wi-Fi router. If you need any advice on starting your own local LoRaWAN network, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Data in context

Each measurement has its own context. If the values are independent, not included in the context, we do not get the most out of the data. This can be solved by integrating sensed values across information systems. STICKER in combination with EMBER sends the resulting data to MQTT, where it can be easily linked to other systems using Node-RED.

Open SDK for rapid firmware development

Build your own application on top of nRF Connect SDK with the underlying Zephyr OS. With embedded C as a primary programming language and support for Visual Studio Code as the development IDE you can use Windows, macOS or Linux development environments.
