7 SENSOR TYPES
VW sensors
Vibrating wire sensors for pressure, strain, movement and load.
Every Ackcio VW sensor connects to a Vibrating Wire Node. Use a BEAM-VW-S1 for one sensor, or a BEAM-VW-S8 for up to eight at one spot.
The node reads each sensor's frequency and temperature and sends them over the Ackcio mesh to your gateway.
