• Weight – 50 g
• Temperature Range – 10°C to 50°C
• Relative humidity – 30% to 90%
• IP Rating – IP54
• Compliance
  • Safety – EN 60950-1: IEC 60950-1
  • EMC – EN 301 489-3; EN 301 489-1 + FCC Part 15 B in relevant regions
  • Radio – Depends on regions:  EN 300 220-2; EN 300 220-1; FCC part 15.247; ARIB STD-T108

Sens’it Discovery includes the device and accessories, one year application access, and one year Sigfox connectivity in any of the 45 countries with Sigfox coverage.

Sens’it Discovery can be used as a development kit thanks to a Software Development Kit (SDK) that allows developers to create their own firmware, and fully re-configure the device, while hardware designer can access the hardware files for reference, and re-use and modify them for their own project.

Pricing is not available, but you can register you interest, and find more information on sensit.io website.
