Each new cloud session erased old data and started a new log. We were hoping that pushing data to the cloud would cause it to log data and perhaps save it, but this didn’t happen. As a warning, this connection is not encrypted and it’s rather useless.

Hands-On With Texas Instruments Bluetooth Temperature SensorĪll that said, there is an option to push data to the cloud. Unfortunately, that is the only easy part.
As complicated as this all sounds, setting up the device is easy: download the app, remove the battery tab, select your SensorTag from the device list, and you’re good to go. They also support more devices, and you can access the web using a BeagleBone gateway.Īll of the sensors include mobile app access, but you also gain access to design files and open source software, created by other makers. The 6LoWPAN and ZigBee options have a longer range, extending from 150 feet to 300 feet via a mesh network. They sell a Bluetooth Smart version (what we tested), the 6LoWPAN, a ZigBee device, and a Wi-Fi version (coming soon). Texas Instruments makes different versions of the same sensor. It seemed like the sensor was aimed at developers and those looking to test and prototype IoT devices, not consumers, but with little information found online, we wanted to test it out for myself. We selected this sensor because it is considerably different from the other options. SimpleLink™ SensorTag is one of the two sensors we tested.
