Add smart notifications to your project. This circuit board plus the included processor with our code is all you need to make a Smart Sensor:  short the pins on the white connector and you will get an alert!   The connector we use is a JST XH 2.5mm 2-pin male. Use the included cable as is or cut it and connect to your own sensor.
 
Use your imagination and our portal to configure your custom device!
 
 

Note: only email and pushover/pushbullet alert notifications are supported.  3 AAA batteries required, not included. To add SMS notification using email-to-SMS gateway see here.

DIY Sensor Configuration

 

 

Note:  press the 'TEST' button or short the two pins of the white connector to trigger an alert. 

  • Connect your device to WiFi and trigger an alert
  • Create new account at myspool.com and click on email link to confirm it or login to your existing account
  • Confirm your email subscription for AWS for this device to receive alert notifications
  • Trigger an alert from your device again and receive an email notification!

We hope that you find this device useful and share with us how you are using it in your application.

 

 

Add smart notifications to your project. This circuit board has many sensor connectors to choose from:

  • 1 Temperature Sensor connector
  • 2 Water Sensor connectors
  • 2 Continuity (Short) sensor connectors
  • 8 Voltage sensors, 0-60 VDC connectors

It is powered by A/C and comes with a 10 ft cable. It also comes with one rugged Water Sensor with a 5 ft wire. Additional sensors are available on this site. You can enable any or all of the sensor connectors on the board to send alerts when water or a short is detected or when temperature or voltage exceed high or low thresholds.

We designed a multi-sensor board for a boater and realized that this board can be used in many different situations. Use your imagination and our portal to configure your custom device! 

Note: only email and pushbullet alert notifications are supported. 

Connections:  refer to markings on the board. Multiple GND connections are available including pins and screw pads, all going to DC ground.  V7 and V8 sensors can use green screw connectors or on-board screw pads.

See this board level connection diagram for reference.

Alerts are limited to 1 every minute by default, that value and many other settings for sensors can be changed by going to My Devices on myspool.com

INCLUDED:  multi-sensor board, rugged enclosure with a transparent top, 10 ft usb power cable and power supply, 1 rugged Water Sensor with a 5 ft wire; support for email and pushbullet notifications

 

Multi-sensor DIY board Configuration

 

Note: Short two pins marked GND and S2 (above the CLEAR button) to trigger an alert when required for setup. 

  • Connect your device to WiFi and trigger an alert
  • Create new account at myspool.com and click on email link to confirm it or login to your existing account
  • Confirm your email subscription for AWS for this device to receive alert notifications
  • Trigger an alert from your device again and receive an email notification!

  

You can trigger an alert by using any enabled sensor, we use S2 for convenience.

One Hub and one or more Nodes are required for the Extended Range DIY Alert operation. This is only the Node, a Hub can be purchased separately, see the last device on this page.

 

The Node and the Hub communicate over the air. Only the Hub requires WiFi to send alerts to MySpool cloud servers. This combination greatly increases the range of the standard MySpool DIY device which uses WiFi and does not require a Hub. Our tests have shown reliable alerts sent at 300 feet by a standard MySpool DIY and at over 1200 feet by DIY Alert Nodes. These Nodes can be placed in locations without WiFi access, behind stucco and cinder block walls, and still reliably communicate with a MySpool Hub as long as they are within 1200 feet of each other.

Note: only email and pushover/pushbullet alert notifications are supported.  3 AAA batteries are required, not included. To add SMS notification using email-to-SMS gateway see here

DIY Extended Range Configuration

 

Note: press the 'TEST' button or short the two pins of the white connector to trigger an alert.;

  • Connect your HUB to WiFi and trigger an alert
  • Create a new account at myspool.com and click on email link to confirm it or login to your existing account
  • Confirm your email subscription for AWS for this device to receive alert notifications
  • Trigger an alert from your device again and receive an email notification!

  

We hope that you find this device useful and share with us how you are using it in your application.

 

 

  • Wireless alert at over 1200 feet; WiFi and A/C required 
  • Works as a gateway for MySpool Nodes:  Mailbox, Water, Water and Temperature, Water Level, DIY Sensor
  • One Hub can support up to 128 nodes, more nodes can be added at any time
  • Use multiple Hubs to create a fault-tolerant configuration; they can be connected to the same or different WiFi networks

 

MySpool Hub uses LoRa technology to enable communications at over 1200 feet through walls and other obstacles. It should be placed within 200 ft of the WiFi router for optimum performance. Supported Nodes:  Mailbox Alert Node,  Water Alert Node, Water and Temperature Node, Water Level Alert Node, DIY Sensor Node.  

 

 

 

 

  • Rigorously tested with all MySpool plugin devices
  • Double the power capacity than regular power adapter
  • UL and FCC certified, no interference with any WiFi products
