Where a site has a network you control and one point worth measuring, the four-port cellular unit is more than the job needs. Genesis Lite has one port, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in, the same protocol list and the same cloud, in a quarter of the size.
The single port takes RS485, analogue, I2C, 1-Wire or a digital input, set from the dashboard. One probe in a lab, one fridge, one tank.
It joins the site network and reports to the same cloud as the four-port units. Where there is no network, 4G-LTE is available.
Alerts, Excel export, accounts and the REST API are the same as on Genesis. A fleet of both is one fleet.
| Ports | 1 modular port |
|---|---|
| Connectivity | Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.0 built in, 4G-LTE available |
| Power | Single 16340 Li-ion, 950 mAh, rechargeable, with an optional 6 to 32 V DC input |
| Outputs | Relay, latching relay, bistable solenoid via H-bridge |
| Operating temperature | -20 °C to +70 °C |
Give it the Wi-Fi credentials of a 2.4 GHz network that will stay in place. A guest network that expires is the usual cause of a unit going quiet.
In the dashboard, set the port to the sensor protocol and set how often to read and transmit.
Four ports on one controller cost less per point than four single-port units.
At a customer site, credentials change. Cellular is the default on Genesis for that reason.
No. It joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
Readings are stored on the device and sent in order when the network returns.
Yes, from its rechargeable 950 mAh cell, with the DC input for a fixed supply or solar. Battery life follows the reading and transmit intervals you set.
The sensors, how many points, where they sit, and whether there is power and coverage. We come back with whether the ports cover it and what the installation looks like.
