Frequently Asked Questions

This project helps you build robust and flexible monitoring solutions without bying in to a propriotary eco-system, this product uses ESP-32, 3D printet casings, simple PCB's and of the shelves components, can be programmed with the Arduino IDE and the base-model is ready to use in production as it is, meaning you can choose to assemble and use it right away, or you can customize it as you see fit.

Not really, and you clearly havent understood the scope of making a product ... especially in this case the code itself is more or less irrelevant, you need to know which hardware to use, you need a case, you need integration with your monitoring solution and you probably have a boss who wants to see results, that's why people pay 500€ for a pre-made locked down system instead of a 10€ Arudino and a soldering-iron ... this project aims to close this gap.

Sure, i'm available for hire through my company, click the Purchase link in the menu.

Ofcourse, but i am adding a huge markeup, and it will be cheaper to assemlbe it yourself. See it as a way to donate to the project and get something tangible in return so the boss / accounting doesn't end up asking tiresome questions

We will probably have a github at some point, but right now just drop us a message at mail@opensensie.org.

Obviously not, in essense its a diy project ... some skills may be required.

I am not going to give you a clear yes here, as i don't want to be liable. However, it's based on a premade board sold in EU powered through Power Over Ethernet, this was a conscious decision since we didn't want people to install random wall worts in their data-centers, you can still do that, but we recomend to use a POE switch or if you don't have that a POE Injector. In this way we do not diy any high voltage, and the only electronics we make ourself is a tiny pcb which hooks into the esp-32 board and connects it up to the sensor.
