SensDesk: Online sensors monitoring provided for free by a new portal.

SensDesk Free web service for LAN and GSM remote sensor monitoring. With HW group products, the user can monitor electricity consumption (kWh, A, CosPhi, W), temperature, humidity, dry contacts, battery voltage, industrial sensors (4-20mA, 0-10V, Pt100, ..). Values from all sensors at different locations are presented at a single web page.

When a sensor is disconnected, or its reading is out of a safe range, SensDesk.com sends e-mail alerts or text messages to an unlimited number of users. iPhone and Android smartphone users can also benefit from the “SensDesk mobile” app. It is available free of charge in the app store.

The SensDesk Portal is based on M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communications, and is a typical example of an IoT (Internet of Things) platform. The function of the SensDesk.com portal is similar to a cloud application.

Typical users of the SensDesk.com portal are IT administrators responsible for 2–5 sites with IT technology and air-conditioning. Until now, they relied on e-mail or text messages for alerts about air-conditioning malfunctions. Thanks to the SensDesk.com service, they don't have to worry about overlooked e-mails and can check everything easily using their smartphone.
