Blebrick Temperature, Humidity and Pressure Sensor

Sensor for temperature, pressure, humidity and indoor air quality.

SKU 7300-BLEBENVItem type: Assembled, Shields & add-ons

Description

The Blebrick ENV is a sensor for temperature, pressure, humidity and indoor air quality, the latter estimated through the standard IAQ index. The user can set the sensor sampling interval and the temperature offset. Applications: air quality measurement, custom weather stations, context awareness (e.g. skin humidity detection / detection of humidity changes indoors), monitoring during fitness activity, dehydration or high-temperature warnings, air volume and air flow measurement, home automation (e.g. heating, ventilation and air conditioning), GPS signal improvement, indoor navigation (floor change / lift detection), altitude tracking and calorie consumption during sports.
Technical specifications
  • IAQ range: 0 – 500 (note that the warm-up time for the IAQ reading is about 3 minutes)
  • Average current consumption while measuring: 10 mA
Standard reference table for indoor air quality values
Blebricks: instant prototyping for IoT, smart sensors and RFID

The internet of things is finally within everyone reach.

Blebricks are smart bricks built on a patented technology: by assembling them you can create new electronic devices that communicate wirelessly.

This technology lets you build devices even without any technical background in electronics or programming. Prototyping is instant, which is why it appeals to anyone who wants to build their own device quickly and easily.

How is it done? Very simple

Each Blebrick performs one specific function. You can choose from a wide range of sensors, actuators, power and communication devices such as motion sensors, environmental sensors, CO2 sensors, infrared sensors and air quality sensors, plus Wi-Fi, Ethernet and LP-WAN communication devices, to name just a few.

To add the functions you want, simply clip the Blebricks together. They configure themselves automatically to work as one, and your device prototype is ready straight away!

You can view the sensor data and interact with it (locally, from your smartphone) using our MakeApp for Android devices. If instead you want to build a custom app, you can do so with MIT App Inventor.

Finally, you can interact with your Blebricks wherever you are, simply by connecting them to the Internet and logging in to the Bricksboard portal.

Thanks to this highly innovative technology, you can cut more than 90% of the time and cost of development in going from idea to product. And because they are low-power, Blebricks are also suitable for developing battery-powered, portable or wearable devices.

The modular nature of Blebricks lets you build a finished product that is cheaper and faster to make. Discover our Fast Route To Production.
