B) How to add a Wireless Sensor (BOS/WTS) to the WTG
Wireless sensors have the advantage of easy installation with no communication cables or power
required. These sensors communicate with the WTG using radio frequency signals, and you need to
pair them with the WTG to get their data.
As an example, we will use the Wireless Temperature & Humidity Sensor (WTS-TH).
This type of wireless sensor will monitor temperature and humidity
levels, can log and graph data over time, and you can configure
real-time alerts when user defined sensor thresholds are exceeded.
It can also be used as a data logger, with the readings buffered and
then synchronized to the gateway when in range. The IP66 rated
enclosure provides weatherproofing for use in outdoor
environments.
The WTS-TH can be ordered with the sensor on cable up to 15ft
length (as on the picture on the left). This allows you to place the
radio module in a convenient location with the sensor placed in a
precise position.
The sensor can be battery powered with an estimated 10-year life,
or connected to a USB power source.
