To grasp potential cost savings, is to understand the Zigbee Self-healing Mesh Network Wireless Communication Standard. As many wireless Smart Box Sensors as you like, communicate with a Wireless Co-ordinator; this is a one off hardware purchase. The Wireless Co-ordinator then communicates to a Wireless Logger. In most cases it will be a Smart Tablet or Smart Logger, again just hardware costs, you do not pay for the Software. The Loggers can then use existing communications (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) at no additional costs to send sensor data onto the internet. Each network comes with 6 Months free Data Storage; thereafter you have a minimal monthly charge of hosting your data. Long term the wireless Monitoring and Control Smart Box is extremely cost effective. Think about it, you can build a Plug and Play sensor network of your choice have everything going to a wireless Logger onto the internet; the only costs are the one off Smart Box hardware and data management/storage (minimal charge). If you don’t have Wi-Fi or Ethernet, like at a lake, stream, up a hill, or work site, just add a SIM card with a monthly DATA rate plan and you get a custom built monitoring solution anywhere you can get a mobile signal.

What you are paying for:
Smart Box Hardware, Plug and Play pre calibrated sensors. One off Purchase
Co-ordinator Plug and Play One off Purchase
Logger Plug and Play One off Purchase
Internet, accessing your existing Wi-Fi, Ethernet No additional costs
Option
Mobile SIM, Used in Tablet or SIM Data Charge

Where you make the Biggest Savings

The Biggest Saving is Time

The wireless Smart Box can have up to 5 Sensors; this reduces both costs of having multiple wireless sensors and reduces wiring requirements saving a lot of headaches and time.

Agriculture Example

To give you an example of agriculture monitoring, nurseries or your personal green house. Let’s say 5 plots or 5 growing trays, within 3 meters.

Your Requirement
What you want to monitor:
Soil Temperature, Soil Moisture, Sun light, Ambient, Temperature, Ambient Humidity

Requirement

Smart Box Solution
Select Logger, Co-ordinator and Correct Wireless Smart Boxes, place Smart Box, insert probes into Plots and place ambient next to the Plots or in a green house.

Existing Solution
Logger, Lots of Cables/Wires, Wired Sensor Probes, Wireless Ambient Sensors

Please note: There are other Wireless Monitoring Products available that are Plug & Play, there is just not a product that has the Plug and Play Sensor product Range like the Smart Box.
