To enhance the functions of communication, sensing, localization and calculation within a wireless network, Monnit Corporation introduced three new low-cost wireless sensors designed for commercial, industrial and consumer applications. The new sensors complement Monnit's existing line of low-cost wireless sensors and include the following: wireless humidity sensor, wireless dry contact sensor and wireless analog sensor.

According to a press release, Monnit has also enhanced its Sensor Monitoring Software to include a sensor mapping tool and an advertisement generation tool. The wireless humidity sensor can be used to monitor relative humidity and temperature for critical applications with a low and high threshold setting. The wireless dry contact sensor can be used to detect contact between two wired contact points. This sensor can be used with an external mechanical switch or a contact plate. The wireless analog sensor allows for integration of external sensors to the Monnit wireless communication protocol. The system will output raw data from the user's analog sensor.

The sensor mapping tool allows users to upload a graphic of their facility and graphically tag (News - Alert) a sensor graphic on top of the facility image to serve as a visual map of where sensors have been placed. By clicking on the sensor graphics within this tool you have immediate access to the sensors' last readings and configuration data. The advertisement generation tool allows Monnit resellers to create and push advertisements to their customers through sensor triggered events such as a water sensor that creates an on-screen or email advertisement for a local plumber in the event of leaking pipes.

Brad Walters, Founder and CEO of Monnit said that these new sensors are important because they address critical needs, but they also help businesses and consumers that have already invested in old or outdated technology to benefit from the strength of our sensors and monitoring software.
