Description
SenseCAP S2110 Sensor Builder has XIAO RP2040 as the dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ processor, and has one Grove and one RS485 connector, enabling developers to connect with 500+ Grove sensors and various MODBUS RS485 sensors to develop custom industrial-grade MODBUS RS485 sensors for various IoT applications.

For the LoRaWAN application, developers could easily connect it with a SenseCAP LoRaWAN Data Logger(*Grove sensors and data logger are not included in the product, learn more on the bundle kit here) to transfer the data to SenseCAP Cloud, which only takes a 5-minute simple BLE configuration in SenseCAP Mate App. Clear data results and further analysis could be easily obtained from SenseCAP Dashboard and SenseCAP Mate App. IoT platforms such as Helium, TTN, LORIOT, etc. are also supported.

The product comes with an IP66 industrial-grade enclosure, mounting pads, and screws set, which enables you to deploy the sensor outdoors easily and safely.

Usage Scenarios
Assemble a Ready-to-deploy SenseCAP outdoor LoRaWAN sensor
Assemble the SenseCAP S2110 with one of the six Grove sensors supported in the native firmware, and connect to a SenseCAP Data Logger via RS-485, then you will have a ready-to-deploy SenseCAP outdoor LoRaWAN sensor. (Check the guidance)
Customize an industrial-grade MODBUS RS485 LoRaWAN sensor
Assemble a Grove sensor or a MODBUS RS485 sensor to the SenseCAP S2110 Sensor Builder to get an industrial-grade MODBUS RS485 sensor. And developers could:
- Develop a customized SenseCAP outdoor LoRaWAN sensor. Develop the customized firmware and connect it to the SenseCAP Data Logger to get a SenseCAP Outdoor LoRaWAN Sensor for special applications. (Check the guidance)
- Develop a customized sensor for a third-party IoT platform. Develop the customized firmware and connect it to a third-party data logger that enables data transmission to the IoT platform.
Build a sensor prototype and read sensor data through the serial monitor
Choose a SenseCAP S2110 Sensor Builder to connect to the SenseCAP S2110 Sensor Builder, obtain sensor data and test the sensor through the serial monitor while connected via USB. (Check the guidance)
SenseCAP S2110 Sensor Builder builds the bridge between Grove and industrial-grade Sensor. It makes up for the defects of insufficient sensor types and the high cost of existing industrial-grade IoT sensors. It enables developers to build their own MODBUS RS485 sensors according to a specific IoT application. It also builds the hardware bridge for developers to quickly connect the Grove sensors to the SenseCAP Cloud and build IoT applications at a low cost.

FAQs:
1. Is the LoRaWAN network coverage necessary when using the SenseCAP S2110?
If you want to build a LoRaWAN sensor with SenseCAP S2110, ideally, yes. LoRaWAN enables your solutions with ultra-low power consumption and wide-range transmission. When connecting with the SenseCAP S2100 Data Logger, this device can be connected to the local LoRaWAN network if there’s network coverage nearby. Also, you can manage to a build LoRaWAN network on your own by deploying LoRaWAN gateways. (Check SenseCAP LoRaWAN gateways)
2. What APP can be used when binding the SenseCAP S2110 and managing the device?
The SenseCAP Mate can be used to bind the gateway to the SenseCAP Cloud and manage the device. It is a powerful tool for the usage of the SenseCAP S2110 Sensor Builder.. iOS; 2. Google Play; 3. App Center
