Below is an overview of the types of sensor data that SWRM can collect and process:
Acceleration forces, which can be static, like gravity, or dynamic, caused by movement or vibrations are measured using an Accelerometer. It detects changes in velocity or orientation and can determine the rate of change in speed or direction along multiple axes. The sensor provides data on the magnitude and direction of the acceleration, offering insights into motion or positional shifts.
The SWRM Air Quality Index (AQI) is a measurement system used to assess and communicate the quality of the air in a specific area. It converts data from air quality sensors into a scale that ranges from 1 to 6, where lower values indicate good air quality and higher values represent increasing levels of pollution. The AQI focuses on key pollutants, including particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide.

Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air in the Earth's atmosphere. This sensor is commonly used to monitor changes in weather patterns, as atmospheric pressure fluctuates with weather systems. In addition to weather forecasting, barometric pressure sensors can also be used to determine altitude.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels like gasoline, natural gas, or wood. These sensors are commonly used in safety systems to detect elevated levels of CO, which can be dangerous or even fatal in enclosed spaces.
Differential pressure measures the difference in pressure between two points. It detects the variation in pressure levels across an object, surface, or system and provides data on how much the pressure differs from one side to the other. This measurement helps assess flow rates, pressure drops, or system imbalances by comparing the two pressure readings.
A differential pressure flow sensor measures the flow rate of a gas by detecting the difference in pressure between two points within a system. It quantifies how this pressure differential correlates with the gas's velocity, allowing for the calculation of flow rates based on the variations in pressure. The sensor provides data on the rate at which the gas is moving through the system, enabling monitoring and control.
A Hall sensor measures the strength and direction of a magnetic field. It detects changes in magnetic flux and converts this information into an electrical signal. The sensor can provide data on the presence or absence of magnetic fields, as well as variations in their intensity, enabling precise measurements related to magnetic forces and positions.
Measures the amount of moisture, or water vapor, present in the air. Readings are expressed as relative humidity (%), which indicates how much moisture the air holds compared to the maximum amount it can hold at a given temperature.
Measures the intensity of infrared radiation emitted or reflected by objects in its environment. It detects thermal energy and provides data on temperature variations and the presence of objects based on their infrared emissions. The sensor can quantify the amount of infrared light, allowing for analysis of heat levels and thermal characteristics.
Detects the amount of visible light and can quantify it as a signal or value, expressed in (lux). The sensor responds to changes in light levels, from brightness to darkness, and provides data on the ambient lighting conditions.
A magnetometer sensor measures the strength and direction of magnetic fields. It detects the Earth's magnetic field or local magnetic sources, providing data on the intensity and orientation of the magnetic forces. This measurement allows the sensor to determine the direction of magnetic north and can assess variations in magnetic fields around objects.
Measures the water content in soil or other similar compunds. It detects the volumetric moisture level by assessing the electrical properties or resistance of the soil, providing data on how much water is present within the soil matrix. The sensor offers insight into the soil's moisture status, enabling precise monitoring of water levels.
Measures the concentration of nitrogen gas in the surrounding environment. It detects nitrogen levels in the air or within a specific system, providing data on the gas's presence and quantity. The sensor's readings help monitor the balance of nitrogen, ensuring that it remains within a desired or safe range.
An ozone sensor measures the concentration of ozone (O₃) gas in the air. It detects the presence and levels of ozone molecules, providing data on ozone concentration in the environment. The sensor quantifies the amount of ozone in the atmosphere or a specific area, offering information about air quality and potential ozone exposure.
Special Note: The SWRM Ozone Sensor has the ability to detect Ozone, but Bit Space Development does not have the tools to calibrate this device. If this device is added to a build, the client is responsible for calibration.
The concentration of tiny particles suspended in the air such as dust or debris. This sensor provides data on the quantity and density of these particles, offering insight into air quality and potential pollution levels.
A pressure sensor measures the force exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas) on a surface. It detects the amount of pressure in a system or environment, providing data on the intensity of the force applied per unit area. The sensor outputs this measurement as a pressure value, which can vary depending on the fluid's conditions.
A proximity sensor measures the distance between the sensor and a nearby object. It detects the presence or absence of an object within a specified range without physical contact, providing data on how close or far the object is from the sensor.
A range sensor measures the distance between the sensor and a target object. It detects the distance by emitting either ultrasonic or laser signals, and calculating the time it takes for the signal to return after reflecting off the object, providing data on the object's range from the sensor.
An RGB sensor measures the intensity of red, green, and blue light in its environment. It detects the levels of these primary colors and provides data on the overall color composition and brightness of the light source. The sensor outputs information about the color and light characteristics based on the combined RGB values.
A smoke sensor measures the presence and concentration of smoke particles in the air. It detects the particulate matter or gases produced by combustion, providing data on the level of smoke, which may indicate fire or burning materials.
A sulfur dioxide (SO₂) sensor measures the concentration of sulfur dioxide gas in the air. It detects the presence and levels of SO₂, providing data on air quality and the amount of this gas in the environment.
A temperature sensor measures the thermal energy of an environment or object, providing data on its temperature. The sensor outputs readings in both Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), allowing for the monitoring of heat levels or temperature changes.
A UV2 sensor measures the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the UV-B wavelength range, typically between 280 and 320 nanometers. It detects the levels of UV radiation, providing data on its strength and potential exposure to UV light in the environment.
A UVC sensor measures the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the UV-C wavelength range, typically between 100 and 280 nanometers. It detects the levels of UV-C radiation, providing data on its strength and potential effects on surfaces and organisms in the environment.
A volatile organic compounds (VOC) sensor measures the concentration of volatile organic compounds in the air. It detects the presence and levels of these organic chemicals, providing data on air quality and potential contamination by harmful substances.
A voltage sensor measures the electrical potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. It detects the level of voltage, providing data on the strength of the electrical signal or power in the system.
A wind sensor measures the speed and direction of wind in the environment. It detects wind velocity and provides data on its strength, with readings expressed in kilometers per hour (km/h).
