smartDEN Notifier - IoT Module with MQTT, eMail Alerts, XML/JSON API

smartDEN Notifier is an Ethernet input module that can be used in a wide range of remote monitoring, measurement, data-acquisition, security and alert notification applications. Thank to its multi-channel design (16 digital, 8 analog and 8 thermistor inputs) this device can perform simultaneously a variety of measurements, for example temperature, humidity, light, pressure, voltage, current etc. The Web interface allows users to configure the smartDEN Notifier, as well as to monitor current measurements. Supported by DRMv3 Software. Along with the current measurements can be downloaded from a remote IP host in XML/JSON format, smartDEN Notifier is capable to send alerts and notifications via MQTT protocol and e-Mail. Works with Home Assistant, Domoticz and OpenHAB home automation systems as well as with Node-RED IoT platform.

Application Examples

• Sending alerts notifications (messages) to opearator if the measured value is above/below some threshold - for example temperature, humidity, light, pressure, wind speed/direction, water level etc;
• Sending alerts notifications (messages) to opearator if the an event is detected - from detectors like PIR, motion, beam, gas, smoke, heat, access control;
• Monitoring and alerts for datacenters;
• Home automation;
• Security applications;
• Weather station applications - wind speed / direction, temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation monitoring;
• Hydrographic monitoring of water level, water depth, water flow, water pH, water conductivity;
• Soil moisture level monitoring;
• Gas pressure monitoring;
• Monitoring a variety of environmental conditions;
• Measure variations in light intensity;
• Tank level monitoring;
