IoT environmental sensor talks to the cloud

electronicsweekly, Jul. 18, 2017 – 

Omron Electronic Components has introduced a multi-function environmental sensor for use as part of autonomous IoT systems.

Designated 2JCIE-BL01, the sensor measures temperature, humidity, light, UVI, barometric pressure, noise and acceleration. The device also has embedded memory for data logging to keep track of the surroundings.

Data from the module can be downloaded over Bluetooth Low Energy links at a range of approximately 10m.

The module can be operated by just a regular 3Vdc lithium battery for approximately six months depending on the measurement interval.

The environmental sensor is cloud compatible with no need for additional hardware. Bespoke threshold values can be set to provide alerts that notify the user of any abnormal sensor readings.
