New LoRaWAN Wireless Sensors

LoRaWAN: Long-Range Wireless Sensors, No Wiring Required

Connect ONE now supports LoRaWAN wireless sensors, giving you an easy way to add temperature, humidity, and door/window monitoring to a site without running a single wire. Sensors run on an approx. 4+ year battery life and communicate over a long-range wireless network to a gateway placed anywhere on the property — one gateway comfortably supports up to 500 sensors. Each sensor's battery level and signal strength show right on the Zones page, and a sensor can be swapped out in seconds if it ever needs replacing — the zone keeps its name, thresholds, and full history. It's a fast, low-cost way to add monitoring points that would otherwise be impractical to wire.


Temperature & Humidity Sensor
Onboard sensing in a single battery-powered unit — no external probe to place.

External Probe Temperature Sensor
A wired probe lets the transmitter sit outside a freezer, cooler, or enclosure while the probe reads the actual temperature inside.

Door/Window Sensor with Temperature & Humidity
A magnetic contact for door/window monitoring, plus onboard temperature and humidity sensing, all in one unit.

Please refer to the Configuration tab for the Device on the Connect ONE Dealer Application Portal for step-by-step gateway and sensor setup instructions.

Coming Soon: Central Station Reporting for LoRaWAN sensors.

Virtual Area Arming and Expanded CAP Integration

Virtual Area Arming — Now Across More System Types

Area arming and disarming is now available for LoRaWAN, BarioNet, NVR systems (Exacq, EyeQ, OpenEye, AVA Security, Digital Watchdog, and Hanwha), and Cansec access control panels, in addition to the traditional control panel types that have always supported it. This means a tripped sensor, camera motion event, or access control zone that happens while the area is armed is now correctly reported as a real alarm — not just a routine status change — giving you and your customers a clearer, more reliable picture of what's actually happening on site. Areas on these systems can be armed manually, put on a schedule, or synced to an intrusion panel's arming area, so it fits however the site is already being run.

Coming Soon: Central Station Reporting for BarioNet, NVR, Cansec, and National Weather Service alerts.

CAP Integration Expanded — Now Enabling Custom Integrations

Our Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) integration now supports full areas and zones with arm/disarm capability and temperature/humidity monitoring, plus a simple new way for third-party systems to push events in directly over a lightweight web request — no CAP formatting required. This opens the door to easier custom integrations with virtually any system capable of sending a basic web request.

Featured Solutions That Help Dealers Differentiate

Give customers more than a security system. Give them a platform that helps them operate more efficiently.

Manufacturer Apps Are Built Only for Their Own Hardware

Your customers' systems increasingly span multiple manufacturers, so they end up switching between platforms to see the whole picture. Manufacturer apps are designed around their own systems and don't cover environmental monitoring, severe weather alerts, or mass notification, capabilities more commercial customers are starting to ask for.

With Connect ONE, your customers' existing systems connect with video and other critical systems in one platform, without costly replacement of equipment they already know and trust. And with an open API, Connect ONE can be tailored into custom applications that fit the way each customer runs their business.
