On/Off Sensor

The Urban.io On/Off Sensor can be used to detect electrical contact between two wired points, an external mechanical switch, relay, contact plate or low voltage control interface. This sensor samples every 30 seconds for electrical contact between the two end points. If there is no change it will report the state as a normal upon the default 10 minute interval. If a change is detected it will send a priority message through to the cloud platform to indicate the electrical interface has changed state.

This product is designed for usage with an Urban.io IoT Gateway. In ideal conditions with correct orientation of sensors and gateway antennas the following ranges can be achieved.

• Up to 5km line-of-sight where there are no obstructions between the gateway and the sensor and they are placed on the same horizontal plane.
• 500m non-line-of-sight in an enclosed space where there are one or more obstructions (objects, walls, buildings) between the gateway and the sensor and it is placed on the same horizontal plane.

This product is designed for application in normal indoor and certain outdoor environments. The gateway housing is IP65 rated and as such is designed to be water and dust resistant as well as generally resistant to direct sunlight. However the 240v Power Adapter is not rated for outdoor usage. ​
