BUYING GUIDE · UK STOCK
Same radio, very different probes. This is the honest map of our temperature range — which sensor fits which job, and the three mistakes buyers make.
A lorawan temperature sensor is four decisions wearing one name: what you measure (air, surface, liquid, product), where the electronics can survive, how accurate you need to be, and how long the battery must last. Get those right and the radio part is free — every device below runs years on batteries and reaches a gateway across a building.
This page is the type-level map of the range. If you already know your use case, the dedicated guides — fridges, warehouses, vaccine storage, damp and mould — pick the exact kit for you; this one explains what each lorawan temperature sensor family is actually for.
Six families cover ambient rooms to industrial probes. All report over LoRaWAN with multi-year battery life; every price is ex VAT from UK stock.

Mistake one: putting battery electronics inside deep cold or heat. Batteries fade fast below −20 °C and electronics object above 60 °C — that is what probe models are for: the probe goes into the hostile zone, the transmitter stays outside. Mistake two: measuring air when you care about product — air whipsaws with every door opening and defrost cycle; a probe in a glycol buffer (or against the product) reads what actually matters and halves your false alarms.
Mistake three: buying accuracy you will not use. A ±0.3 °C sensor is genuinely better than ±0.5 °C only if your process cares — most comfort and storage applications do not, and the money is better spent on more points. Where calibration certificates matter (pharma, labs — accreditation via UKAS labs), say so when ordering and we will advise on the right lorawan temperature sensor variant and documentation.
Every sensor here joins the same site network: one UG63 for a typical building, stepping up per the gateway guide. After the gateway, each additional monitoring point is just the sensor price — which is why estates that start with five points end the year with fifty.
No gateway and only one or two points? The cellular twins in our fridge guide (TS601/TS602) skip the gateway entirely. Kits bundle the common starting combinations — see the LoRaWAN starter kit for the fastest zero-to-monitoring path.
Everything here ships from UK stock with GBP pricing and a human on the end of the phone. If you are rolling out across multiple sites, ask for volume pricing — quotes normally come back within one working day.
Years — typically three to five at sensible reporting intervals, and the sensor reports its own battery level so replacement is planned, not discovered. The biggest factor is how often it transmits: a 10-minute interval comfortably outlives a 1-minute one.
The ambient families sit around ±0.3–0.5 °C, the PT100 industrial class tighter still. For storage compliance, comfort and mapping that is more than sufficient; if you have a calibration-certificate requirement, tell us and we will spec the variant and paperwork to match.
Across a building and beyond: LoRaWAN comfortably penetrates several floors or a few hundred metres of cluttered site, kilometres line-of-sight. One gateway per building is the planning default; hard cases (deep basements, metal-clad cold stores) get answered by a quick survey rather than guesswork.
Yes — LoRaWAN is an open standard, and these sensors join any compliant EU868 network, including gateways you already own. The reverse also holds: our gateways happily serve third-party sensors alongside these.
List your measurement points — what, where, how cold or hot — and we will match a lorawan temperature sensor to each with volume pricing, normally within one working day.
