The KADO UNIO sensor is the first of its kind with regard to the power supply application of external sensors. In practice, this means that you can connect not just any external sensor to the sensor, but you can even control its switching period. Combined with the Sigfox wireless technology, the KADO UNIO is an universal IoT device with countless applications not only in industry. The most frequently connected external sensors are:
And many others. An important criterion is that the external sensor has an output of 0 - 10 V or or 4 - 20 mA.
The KADO UNIO sensor further monitors states of the following signals at present time intervals:
In the case of digital input, the sensor can be set to send a message every time a digital input state is changed. The KADO UNIO sensor can additionally be equipped with a GPS signal sensor and an accelerometer. In addition to reporting the current position, the sensor can detect motion initiation, continuous motion and stop motion. The KADO UNIO sensor has a durable and weather-proof design and can be easily mounted at the place of use. Its battery lasts up to 10 years (depending on the number of measurements and transmmitted messages) without any battery replacement and it can be used literally wherever you need it. The KADO UNIO sensor can be placed in indoor, outdoor or offsite.

The KADO UNIO sensor communicates over dynamically evolving radio network Sigfox for IoT (Internet of Things) with a frequency band of 868.13 MHz. Sigfox allows bi-directional communication of sensors with a limited number of feedback messages. Thanks to Europe-wide coverage, it is possible to communicate and control all sensors especially on a long distances cheaply, safely and with a low power consumption. The data from the sensor is sent via the Sigfox radio network to the PHARIS IoT Cloud where the data is processed and prepared for view. PHARIS IoT can also send data to customer’s platform or the KADO UNIO sensor can be provide as a pure HW with Sigfox ID and PAC.
The KADO UNIO sensor passed all the requirements and tests in accordance with Sigfox ReadyTM certification process and receiving Class 0 level. It means that the sensor emits the highest allowed energy through its antenna to allow communication over very long distances with very low energy consumption.
The sensor should be located in such a way that it is protected from vandalism or unintentional damage during operation, and it should be possible to receive GPS signals (unshielded space), if the sensor is equipped with GPS. Sensor mounting is possible in three ways:
