LoRaWAN sensors are a type of IoT sensor that uses a low-power, long-range wireless communication protocol called LoRaWAN. Here are some types of LoRaWAN sensors:

  1. Temperature Sensors: Temperature sensors can be used to monitor temperature in various environments, including indoor and outdoor spaces. They are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cold chain logistics.
  2. Humidity Sensors: Humidity sensors can be used to measure the amount of water vapor in the air. They are commonly used in indoor environments to ensure optimal air quality and to prevent damage to sensitive equipment.
  3. Motion Sensors: Motion sensors can be used to detect motion and movement in various environments. They are commonly used in security and surveillance systems.
  4. Light Sensors: Light sensors can be used to measure light levels in indoor and outdoor environments. They are commonly used in smart city applications, such as street lighting and traffic monitoring.
  5. Pressure Sensors: Pressure sensors can be used to measure pressure in various environments, including industrial and medical applications.
  6. Gas Sensors: Gas sensors can be used to detect and monitor the presence of harmful gasses in various environments, including industrial and agricultural settings.
  7. Water Quality Sensors: Water quality sensors can be used to monitor water quality in various environments, including water treatment plants, swimming pools, and aquaculture systems.
