Sentek’s IOT In Action

Since their official release of Sentek IOT DTU in August 2023, Sentek have received plenty of positive feedback from their distributors and end-users. Main points of difference regarding IOT loggers are related to ease of setting-up process and user-friendliness of the app. The fact that users can confidently set up Sentek IOT with their mobiles via BT and the Sentek App (instead of having a laptop and programming cable, and mobile to hot spot) is very appealing.

Having a solar panel and a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery in the Sentek IOT unit is also another positive feature that was well-received and admired. This feature was also part of Sentek’s CSR and commitment to increase sustainability and environmental friendliness of their products.
