How to Calibrate Temperature Sensor Beacons?

We have several clients using the temperature/humidity sensor beacons in industrial situations. A question we have had is how is the temperature/humidity calibrated? For scenarios that require monitored temperature/humidity, it’s often necessary to show the readings have been calibrated over time.

M52-SA Sensor beacon

Most sensor beacons don’t have a calibration certificate. The long term drift of the sensor is <0.04C/yr and <0.5 RH/yr so in most applications it doesn’t usually need calibration. If you need accuracy better than this you will usually need to calibrate in the software of the phone/device that receives the beacon signal. That is, you will need to periodically measure the real temperature/humidity using another calibrated instrument and apply any offset to the read values.

S5 Sensor beacon

Another option is to use the one beacon, the S5, that does have a temperature/humidity calibration certificate.

New KKM Wireless Tilt Sensor K9AT

Our partner and supplier, KKM, has a new K9AT Wireless Tilt Sensor The K9AT Tilt Sensor is designed to convert accelerometer measurements into precise tilt angle detections. What makes it stand out is its ability to trigger advertisements once it detects an inclination beyond a pre-set value.

The sensor has an IP67 rating, ensuring it is both water-resistant and dustproof. One of the most impressive aspects of the K9AT Tilt Sensor is its longevity. Powered by an industrial-grade ER14505 battery, it offers an extended battery life of up to 8 years.

The applications of the K9AT are vast and varied. From construction and agriculture to automotive and shipping, this sensor can play a critical role in improving operational efficiency and safety. Its ability to provide real-time alerts on angle changes makes it an invaluable tool for monitoring equipment, cargo, and even structural integrity.

New KKM Waterproof Sensor Beacon

We have the new, waterproof sensor beacon S5 in stock.

This beacon measures temperature, humidity and 3-axis acceleration. It also logs up to 60,000 temperature and humidity records, viewable in the manufacturer’s app. It has a 180m range and also supports Bluetooth 5 coded PHY, when supported by the receiving device, for a longer range of 600m. It’s also the only beacon we know of, that comes with a temperature/humidity calibration certificate.

New KKM Waterproof Beacons in Stock

We have four new KKM waterproof Bluetooth beacons in stock.

The K8 is different in that it has tags for screw fixing. It also has an on/off button at the side that can also be used for triggering.

The K3 is one of our most waterproof beacons with an IP68 rating. The silicon case allows pressing of an internal button that can be used for button triggered broadcast.

The K5 has a hidden on/off button inside the case and is waterproof to IP67.

The K3 and K8 and K5 also have an accelerometer that can be used for advertising x, y z or to set up motion triggered broadcast.

New KKM Button Beacons

We have two new KKM button beacons, the B1 and B2 in stock.

Both advertise iBeacon, Eddystone UID, Eddystone URL, Eddystone TLM and battery level to a range of up to 100m. They support button triggered (single/double/triple/long click) broadcast for detecting in apps or via Bluetooth gateways.

The B1 differs to the B2 in that the button is labelled ‘SOS’, has a larger CR2450, rather than CR2032, battery and also includes a wall mounting plate.
