Get alerted when light levels are too high or too low

This Monnit mount-and-monitor meter measures light intensity in lux (the SI unit of illumination, equal to one lumen/square meter). These light meters have a measurement range of 0–83,000 lux (indoor range) that spans from moonlit nights to full daylight. If lux measurements move outside of user-set limits, these meters alert designated users via text, email, or call for correction.

See assets in a good light

Monnit’s Wireless Light Meter uses a highly sensitive photo-diode to detect and measure the intensity of light around the device from 0-82,000 lux (luminescence/unit area). The sensor is also capable of alerting upon detection of a change in lighting conditions. The sensor returns a value in ‘lux’ to the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System. The data is stored in the online system and can be reviewed and exported as a data sheet or graph. Notifications can be set up through the online system to alert the user when light is present or not with the ability to only notify within time of day parameters.

The sensor comes with an industrial battery included with the life of up to 7 years.

All industrial sensors are enclosed in a reliable, weatherproof NEMA-rated enclosure that are constructed for both indoor and outdoor use. These rugged enclosures protect the sensor circuitry against;

Falling dirt
Wind-blown dust
Rain, sleet, snow, splashing water, and hose-directed water
Ice formation on the enclosure
Increased resistance to corrosion

Features

Impressive wireless range of up to 1,200 feet through walls
Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
Improved interference immunity
Improved power management for longer battery life
Encrypt-RF® Security (Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange + AES-128 CBC for sensor data messages)
Stores 2000 to 4000 readings if gateway connection is lost (non-volatile flash, persists through the power cycle)
- 10-minute heartbeats = ~ 22 days
- 2-hour heartbeats = ~ 266 days
Over-the-air updates
Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring and notification system to configure sensors, view data and set alerts via SMS text and email

Applications

Greenhouse and agricultural light monitoring
Facilities lighting/energy management
Parking garage / lot light monitoring
Business light monitoring
Outdoor light monitoring

IMPORTANT - Sensor Operation

Please note: this sensor requires both an applicable Gateway and iMonnit software to operate. For further information, please refer to the tabs above or related products below.

Monnit Gateway Options

An integral component of any IoT network is the gateway. A gateway device allows for data from sensors to be transmitted to the iMonnit software platform.

Monnit Ethernet Wireless Gateway 4

Monnit’s Ethernet Gateways allow your Monnit Wireless Sensors to communicate with the iMonnit™ Online Wireless Sensor Monitoring and Notification System without the need for a PC. Simply provide power and plug the gateway into an open Ethernet network port with an internet connection. It will then automatically connect with our online servers, providing the perfect solution for commercial locations where there is an active internet connection.

Monnit 4G + Ethernet IoT Gateway

The ALTA® by Monnit Wireless IoT Gateway combines a 4G LTE CAT-M1/NB2 cellular engine and Ethernet platform with Monnit’s wireless access point network to aggregate and communicate data from Monnit ALTA Wireless Sensors. The ALTA IoT Gateway allows ALTA Sensors to operate on the world’s leading cellular networks and stay connected to the Internet. The gateway uses AC main power but also has redundant power through a battery backup lasting up to 60 hours.

To meet the global demand for enterprise IoT deployment, the IoT Gateway communicates with the cloud-based iMonnit® monitoring software via cellular transmission, making it ideal for remote locations or where the Internet isn’t available. The RJ-45 Ethernet jack allows local device configuration, diagnostics, and connectivity backup. The IoT Gateway is instrumental in sending sensor notifications via text, email, or call if user-defined conditions are met or exceeded.
