SenseCAP Indicator is a 4-inch touch screen driven by ESP32 and RP2040 dual-MCU and supports Wi-Fi/BLE/LoRa communication. The board comes with Type-C and Grove interfaces, supports ADC and IIC transmission protocols, and can easily connect to other peripherals with rich GPIOs.
SenseCAP Indicator is a fully open-source powerful IoT development platform for developers. One-stop ODM Fusion service is also available for customization and quick scale-up.
SenseCAP Indicator native firmware enables you to use it as a desktop air quality detector or you could customize one of your own styles. There are built-in tVOCs and CO2 sensors, and a Grove TH sensor is provided to connect externally to reduce heat interference to get more accurate temperature and humidity results.
The embedded SX1262 LoRa module enables you to build the LoRa application and connect your local LoRa sensors to the Cloud via Wi-Fi. For example, you could build a LoRa hub device to connect your LoRa sensors to your smart home ecosystem to implement Matter over Wi-Fi. In this way, the LoRa devices could be connected to the Matter ecosystem via Wi-Fi, without the need to buy a new Matter-compatible device.
