TL;DR: A vacant property is visited once a week at best, and most of what damages it happens in the days between. Insurer guidance such as Aviva’s expects internal and external inspections at least every seven days, because burst pipes and water ingress in empty buildings can go undiscovered. Door, temperature, humidity and leak sensors…
TL;DR: Cellar monitoring for a pub or bar watches five things: cellar temperature, the cooler, CO2 at low level, humidity and the hatch. Cask ale is served at cellar temperature, and most brewers recommend 11 to 13°C. CO2 matters for safety as well as beer, because HSE warns it is heavier than air and has…
TL;DR: The Milesight EM320-TILT is a battery LoRaWAN tilt sensor that measures its angle on three axes from -90° to +90°, to ±1°, and sends an alarm when the angle crosses a limit you set. It suits position and movement jobs: a barrier raised or lowered, a hatch left open, a pole knocked out of…
TL;DR: The law requires suitable and sufficient lighting at work, and HSE’s guidance HSG38 turns that into lux levels: from 20 lux average and 5 lux minimum on circulation routes up to 500 lux average and 200 lux minimum for fine detail work, with offices at 200 and 100. It also limits the ratio between…
TL;DR: The Milesight WS558 is a LoRaWAN lighting controller that switches up to eight lighting circuits from a DIN rail or wall-mounted unit, on a schedule, by remote command or from its own buttons. The LN version also measures voltage, current, power and energy, so you can see what each lighting circuit uses. It switches…
TL;DR: The Milesight UF51 is an outdoor 5G CPE: a sealed IP67 unit with eight internal 5G antennas that mounts on a pole or wall where the signal is best, and feeds the building over one PoE Ethernet cable. It suits sites where a fixed line is slow, expensive or months away, and works as…
TL;DR: The Milesight X1 is a small battery sensing camera that photographs an analogue gauge, meter or indicator lamp on a schedule, on an alarm input or at the press of a button, and sends the picture over Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi HaLow. It turns remote gauge reading into a job for a picture rather than…
TL;DR: Most Milesight LoRaWAN sensors are set up by NFC configuration: you hold a phone running the free Milesight ToolBox app against the sensor, read its settings, change them and write them back, without opening the case or plugging anything in. It also switches battery sensors on and off. Android phones read sensors most easily;…
TL;DR: Ursalink merged with Milesight in December 2020 and its products now carry the Milesight name, so an Ursalink controller is replaced with a current Milesight model. For a UC1152 that used its relay, its 3 to 24 V digital input or RS232, the like-for-like swap is the UC300. For a Modbus-only job, the UC100…
TL;DR: The Milesight WS523 is a LoRaWAN smart socket that sits between a wall socket and an appliance. It switches the load on or off from a button or remotely, measures voltage, current, power factor, power and kWh to typically ±3%, alarms on overcurrent and reports when the mains fails. Its best jobs are remote…
