Sensors

The MINKE sensor portfolio is a selection of sensors from the Smart Citizen project, and aims to create a boilerplate for individuals and communities with different sensing expertise levels in a modular, expandable and intuitive way. We have made a selection of sensors to get started with the most common use cases.

How to get them?

If you are interested, and have an use case or project that needs of some sensors, support or maybe some enclosures, this is for you! We will be creating a series of open calls.

Sensor packs

• Citizen Kit: for those cases where a low cost sensor is needed for basic monitoring of climate metrics, or some basic air pollution setups
• Citizen Water Kit: a combination of water and air sensors, to choose between pH and ORP for water sensors, water temperature, and adding an air temperature and humidity
• Citizen Water Station: a flexible solution for water monitoring. Includes metrics like pH, DO, Conductivity, ORP and submergible temperature, with optional GPS

Kit	Use	Available units	Metrics	Power	Battery only?
Citizen Kit	Air quality	60-90	T, H, P, PM, Noise, Light and VOCs	USB or AC with Power supply	Yes
Basic Water Station	Air/Water	40-50	Air T, H; Water pH, ORP or T	USB or AC with Power supply	Yes
Advanced Water Station	Water	16	Water pH, ORP, DO, COND, T and optional GPS	USB or AC with Power supply	No (yes with external battery pack)

Looking for mobile measurements?

We also include GPS readings in some of the sensors, to be able to measure dynamically like in the Pati Cientific

IDs for platform registration
