Supported Measurements and Devices
Bellow is a non-exhaustive list of many of the meters, sensors and types of measurements supported by ThingsLog IIoT platform and solutions
Industrial Measurement and Control
ThingsLog IIoT platform supports vast amount of devices, sensors and meters.
Through them we can claim that we can do almost any kind of a measurement or perform automation control required for almost any kind of project.
Our bread and butter is utility smart metering – AMR/AMI projects, precise low-power analog sensor measurements, environmental projects and SCADA systems where intelligent control decisions has to be performed based on sensor and market data.
Based on those we have gained a vast amount of experience in water and energy metering and monitoring, sensor data acquisition and industrial control and automation.
We would love to share our knowledge and help our customers to achieve any of the measurements and control listed bellow.
Supported Water Meters
Smart water meters are key part of our IIoT platform and ThingsLog remote smart water metering solution. Some of the meters are supported through a direct LoRa/LoRaWAN integrations and some through interconnect with our own Low Power data loggers with 2/4G, NB-IoT, Cat-M1 or LoRa/LoRaWAN telemetry.

ON/OFF Alarm Sensors
On/Off sensors are used across the solutions and in many industry specific use cases.
- Normally open door sensor
- Water leak sensors with on/off outputs
- Sensors for
- Various buttons (we have counted weird use cases – from openings of dispensers for toilet paper to toilet flushes)
Smart Devices with Tasmota Open Firmware
Tasmota and the richness of so many ESP based devices came recently with ThingsLog 12/24 “Christmas” release. The release allowed any of those ubiquitous amount of smart devices to be simply “pluged in” any of the existing solution we have.
- Kincony ESP based controllers
- Waveshare ESP based controllers
- Refoss smart devices – smart plugs, energy meters, bulbs, thermostats
- Athom Tech smart devices – smart relays, energy meters, plugs etc.
- Any other device with Tasmota open source firmware.
Supported Sensor Measurements
ThingsLog IIoT platform and data loggers support many kind of analog and has built in drivers i2c sensors. Our data loggers has built in either 4 channels 16 bit ADC or 2 channel 24 bit sigma delta ADC for precise analog measurements. For most of the measurements bellow we can offer precise sensors, perform calibrations and ship together with our data loggers as a complete product delivery.
For example pressure monitoring is based on the pressure sensors, tanks and dam motioning on the level, air quality on the various gas sensors and agriculture on the sensors for meteo, leaf and soil measurements.
