Principle of Operation

Monnit ALTA Wireless Humidity (RH) Sensor measures the relative humidity at the device. The sensor returns RH and temperature values to the iMonnit Online Sensor Monitoring and Notification System. The system calculates dew point from the data and stores all three data points in the online system where the data can be reviewed and exported as a data sheet or graph. Notifications can be set up through the online system to alert the user when defined thresholds have been met or exceeded.

Example Interfacing

  • Greenhouse humidity monitoring
  • Agriculture environmental monitoring
  • Art gallery and museum environmental monitoring
  • Humidor monitoring
  • General weather and environmental monitoring


Features of Monnit ALTA Sensors

  • Wireless range of 1,200+ feet through 12+ walls *
  • Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)
  • Improved interference immunity
  • Improved power management for longer battery life **
  • Encrypt-RF ® Security (Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange + AES-128 CBC for sensor data messages)
  • Datalogs 2000 to 4000 readings if gateway connection is lost (non-volatile flash, persists through the power cycle):
  • 10-minute heartbeats = ~ 22 days - 2-hour heartbeats = ~ 266 days
  • Over-the-air updates (future proof)
  • Free iMonnit basic online wireless sensor monitoring and notification system to configure sensors, view data and set alerts via SMS text and email Wireless Range Comparison

*Actual range may vary depending on environment. **Battery life is determined by sensor reporting frequency and other variables. Other power options are also available.
