The RAK2560 WisNode Sensor Hub is a modular sensor ecosystem that integrates the Sensor Hub Smart Datalogger with multiple pre-configured sensor probes. It allows connection of all required sensors to a single device, simplifying deployment for environmental monitoring in IoT applications.

Key Features

• Modular design with pluggable, interchangeable probes

• Option to add third-party sensors

• Robust waterproof enclosure with two sensor probe ports for sensors or external power (e.g., solar panel)

• Operates in full battery mode or with external power supply

• Easy configuration via WisToolBox app (mobile and desktop)

Variants

• LoRaWAN only

• LoRaWAN + NB-IoT

  • NB-IoT module supports LTE CAT M1 and CAT NB2

  • CAT M1: higher data rates, lower latency

  • CAT NB2: ultra-low power, extended coverage, ideal for battery-powered devices

Power Supply Notes

• Supports 2 to 4 ER18505 non-rechargeable batteries (NOT INCLUDED, must be supplied separately)

• When used with Sensor Probe IO, must be powered by the dedicated power adapter (selectable in Check to include section)

Features

• Full LoRaWAN band support
• Based onRAK4630(MCU: nRF52840, Radio Chip: SX1262)
• RUI3-based firmware
• Auto-detection of the power source
• Auto-detection of the Sensor Probes
• 2~4 pcs 3.6 V ER18505 4000mAh Li-SOCl2 Non rechargeable batteries (not included)
• 12 V DC power supply or solar panel
• NB-IoT interface module (RAK5860) support (optional)
• Embedded antenna
  • High-efficiency LoRa antenna 860~930 MHz
• NFC tag for power on and smart connect over BLE
• Prevent theft via the hall effect sensor on the exclusive mounting bracket
• IP66-rated waterproof enclosure
• Multiple Sensor Probes or Probe IO can be connected to a single Sensor Hub port with the Splitter cable
• Distance between the sensors can be adjusted with the extension cable

Sensor Probe

The Sensor Probe is an accessory for the Sensor Hub solution platform. It supports up to 2 preselected WisBlock sensors in various combinations to provide the needed data.

NOTE:The Sensor Probe could not be used as a standalone product. You need the RAK2560 Sensor Hub in order to use this probe.

Features

• Auto-identification of the sensor type
• One-wire protocol
• Waterproof (IP67-rated for the probe body)
• Supports up to 2 preselected WisBlock sensor modules

More information can be found on theSensor Probepage.

Sensor ProbeIO

The Probe IO is an accessory for the Sensor Hub solution platform. It supports modules with various communication protocols like RS-485*, SDI-12*, 4-20 mA signal*, and DI/DO*. This accessory can work with RAKwireless modules as well as third-party ones to ensure the best solution for your project.

NOTE:

The Probe IO could not be used as a standalone product. You need the RAK2560 Sensor Hub in order to use this probe.

Features

• Support one RS-485 device*
• Support one SDI-12 device*
• Support one 4-20 mA device*
• Support two DO (dry contact)*
• Support one DI*
• One-wire protocol
• Supply 5V / VIN / 24V (1A) power.
• Waterproof (IP67-rated for the probe body)
