If you can continuously monitor and communicate data from rivers, swimming pools and spas, sea water or remote ponds, you have smart water. For these types of water quality applications, Libelium launched a Smart Water wireless sensor platform. Using its Waspmote wireless technology, sensor data from probes can be transmitted to the Cloud via 3G, […]

Measure pH, ORP or Conductivity Values on Your Smartphone
Your smartphone has an accelerometer, gyroscope, and perhaps a magnetometer or pressure sensor but what else can it measure? With the Sensorex SAM-1 (for Smart Aqua Meter), you can measure and record pH, ORP or conductivity values. Compatible with both iOS (Apple) and Android smart devices, the portable meter enables accurate analytical measurements in the […]
Sensors Measure pH or ORP
Having alternatives is good. For swimming pool control, industrial, municipal and potable water applications, Sensorex’s S465 series sensors offer an alternative to Acu-Trol pH and Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) probes. ORP sensors measure the ability of a solution to act as an oxidizing or reducing agent. Sensorex’s sensor technology delivers accurate measurement over a range of […]
Google’s Acquisition of Hardware Supplier Advances IoT Connectivity
With Google Inc’s announcement of its plans to acquire Nest Labs Inc, the Internet of Things (IoT) received a tremendous boost. Nest Labs makes smart thermostats and smoke alarms that have a high degree of connectivity. The Nest Protect smoke alarm uses six sensors: photoelectric smoke sensor, carbon monoxide (CO) sensor, heat sensor, light sensor, […]
Rugged IR Sources for Gas Sensors
Infrared (IR) sources are used for gas detection in a variety of measurement techniques including non-dispersive infrared spectroscopy, (NDIR), photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy (PAS) and attenuated-total-reflectance FTIR spectroscopy (ATR). For its IR sources, Axetris uses micromachined, electrically-modulated, thermal infrared emitters to detect CO, CO2, VOC, NOx, NH3, SOx, SF6, hydrocarbons, humidity, anesthetic agents, refrigerants and breath […]
Clothes with a Nose?
Where would you put a printable sensor that can detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs)? Engineers at Peratech are working on a nose sensor embedded in clothing. Based on the company’s Quantum Tunneling Composite (QTC) material that change resistance when a force is applied, the polymer content of the sensor swells when exposed to VOCs. One […]
CO2 Sensor For Hvac Applications from Cal Sensors
Cal Sensors announces the global launch of the IRCO2, an infrared CO2 sensor for HVAC applications. Designed to meet the challenging accuracy and reliability requirements of Demand Controlled Ventilation systems (DCVs), the IRCO2 combines superior sensitivity and reliability with lower costs and power consumption. Cal Sensors’ IRCO2 sensor applies the latest in non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technologies. […]
Monitor pH or ORP Values plus Temperature with One Transmitter
Changes in process fluids indicated by pH or oxidation reduction potential (ORP, measured in mV), and temperature for more accurate control in water, chemical, electronics, food production, environmental and wastewater applications are easily monitored with Sensorex’s TX-3000 pH/mV transmitter. The transmitter’s dual output design provides an isolated, 0 or 4 – 20mA output for pH […]
Sensing Technology Targets Farmers and Ranchers
Eking out the greatest return from the land requires today’s farmers and ranchers to carefully manage energy consumption, water levels, and equipment operations as well as monitor hazardous conditions that could jeopardize their livestock and consumables. Global Monitoring’s Messenger Remote Monitoring Unit (RMU) addresses these requirements. The RMU provides the capability to remotely manage and […]
Monitor pH Measurements from an iPhone or iPod
Apps are cool and when they involve sensing, they are useful, too. Sensorex Model PH-1 Meter Application Accessory allows users to easily collect data from its pH sensors and display the data on an iPhone or iPod. While the app is free from the download store, the PH-1 meter accessory and pH electrodes are sold […]
