Smart devices or a central portal: Simple single-purpose devices (SD devices) do their job, too
HW group devices support two trends in modern sensor technology. First, there are single-purpose devices with IoT network topology, dependent on a central application for control. Then, there are smart devices for autonomous operation and networks.

SNMP – Interface description
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is suitable for primary system information exchange using short packets.
-
STE2 r2 – More than just a software facelift
The most visible differences between the STE2 r2 and the first generation include HTTPS support, more modern web design, reworked method of setting targets for SMS and e-mails, and the ability to configure sensor safe ranges remotely from the SensDesk.
