Efento 0-10 V sensor interface allows users to connect any type of analog sensor. Device can be equipped with up to two analog interfaces (2 x 0-10 V). Sensors can be powered either from the device’s battery or by an external power source. Data from the analog sensors can be presented as voltage (0-10 V) or converted to other measurement types once it reaches the Efento Cloud platform.
Efento NB-IoT devices transmit the data over cellular network (Narrowband IoT) and do not require any additional devices (router, gateway, etc.). Devices are also equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy interface, which allows quick and easy configuration with a smartphone. Efento devices can be integrated with any cloud platform.
- Battery ensures up to 5 years of maintenance-free operation
- NB-IoT sensors send the data over the cellular network to Efento Cloud or any other cloud platform.
- Measurement period: 1 minute – 10 days (configurable by the user)
- User configurable alarm thresholds. If any of the thresholds is exceeded, sensor will send the data to the platform immediately
- The device stores 40,000 measurements in its memory, when the memory is full, the oldest measurements are overwritten
- Sensor's configuration can be changed remotely from the cloud or with a mobile application over Bluetooth Low Energy

0-10 V interface
Analog input allows users to connect external 0-10 V sensors. External sensors can be powered by the device or by external power supply
Edge analytics
Devices analyse the data and send it to cloud platform when needed. This allows to decrease the number of cellular transmissions and increase the battery lifetime. There are several types of analyses that can be performed by the sensor: from a simple comparison of the measured value to the threshold to more complex mathematical operations.
Software over the air update (SOTA)
The sensors are equipped with over the air software update mechanism, thanks to which, your fleet of sensors will always have the latest version of software. Moreover, SOTA is based on delta mechanism and only the difference between the current and the new version of the software is sent to the device. This saves both the battery and data transfer.
Full remote configuration
All the settings of the NB-IoT sensors can be changed remotely in a secure way. This allows you to easily reconfigure thousands of the deployed devices, no matter how far they are located.
Integration
We believe that the Internet of Things is about integrating data sources, analysing the data and drawing conclusions based on it. If you want to integrate Efento loggers with your software, cloud platform or mobile application, we will provide you with the necessary documentation, libraries, SDKs and we will gladly assist you.
