Sense Nano Specs
Sense Nano
The PassiveLogic Sense Nano sensor is a tiny, light-powered, multi-sensor environmental monitoring device that gathers building and occupancy data with no wires required. It connects wirelessly to Hive and Hive Mini controllers through PassiveLogic's enhanced mesh network and monitors temperature, radiant temperature, humidity, pressure, light, and air quality. External power optionally enables IAQ measurements, stronger wireless networking, and higher sampling rates.
