CHESTER connects to the internet via LPWAN communication technologies (NB‑IoT, LTE‑M, and LoRaWAN are supported). Choose the built‑in internal antenna or connect an external antenna for any of those options. For diagnostics, parametrization, and device firmware upgrades, CHESTER comes with a Bluetooth Low Energy interface available in modern smart devices and notebooks.
CHESTER has been designed from the ground up as a low‑power device and provides years of operation from the primary lithium cells. Another way to power the device is to use a rechargeable battery backup module with the optional photovoltaic panel input. For applications where batteries are not applicable, it is possible to energize the device from a standard 24 V DC line power or 230 V AC line.
With CHESTER expansion modules, you can quickly expand or transform your device's functionality. Adding up to two X‑modules allows you to utilize a Battery Charger, 4-channel input, Step‑Down, and much more. The modules are small and fit seamlessly on the back of the CHESTER mainboard.
Seamless management of your devices, user‑defined Callbacks, and REST API. Our Cloud serves as a middleware between our physical devices and your chosen software. We provide manuals for integrating CHESTER with Microsoft, Ubidots, and Blynk, or you can access the data in your system.
Use the Microsoft Azure IoT services to collect data and visualize them using the Power Apps/Office 365 tools.
Create stunning dashboards with rich set of widgets. The Datacake platform provides a powerful scripting.
Easy to use IoT application platform for dashboards and notifications. You can share its data via link in the QR code.
You can connect CHESTER device to your cloud service and/or to your dashboard with a business logic behind it.
HARDWARIO Manager is the easiest way to configure and manage your CHESTER devices in the field without using a computer. Available on iOS and Android, it allows you to connect to the CHESTER via Bluetooth and quickly install new firmware on the device.
Build your own application on top of nRF Connect SDK with the underlying Zephyr OS. With embedded C as a primary programming language and support for Visual Studio Code as the development IDE you can use Windows, macOS or Linux development environments.
