What are additional sensors and probes used for?

Additional sensors and probes are used to monitor specific conditions such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, motion, vibration, distance, fill level, and energy consumption. They help businesses collect more detailed data from different parts of their facility.

How are external probes different from built-in sensors?

Built-in sensors measure conditions around the device, while external probes can be placed in a specific area where direct measurement is needed. This is useful for refrigerators, storage units, equipment areas, product zones, or hard-to-reach spaces.

Can Plumsense additional probes monitor temperature and humidity?

Yes. Plumsense additional probes include options for external temperature monitoring and temperature-humidity monitoring. These probes help track environmental conditions more accurately in controlled storage, equipment, and facility areas.

What is a vibration probe used for?

A vibration probe is used to detect object or equipment vibration status. It can help teams monitor movement, machine activity, or abnormal vibration conditions in industrial, storage, or facility monitoring applications.

Can distance sensors help with level or position monitoring?

Yes. Distance sensors such as ultrasonic or ToF sensors can help detect short-range distance, fill levels, object position, or small blind spots. They are useful when teams need to monitor physical changes without manual checking.

How do I choose the right sensor or probe?

The right sensor or probe depends on what you need to measure, such as temperature, humidity, motion, light, vibration, distance, or energy usage. It also depends on the installation location, required accuracy, device compatibility, and monitoring purpose.
