Inputs module – WiFi sensor

“BleBox inputSensorD” is a miniature smart WiFi sensor with two independent inputs. It is perfect for any application where you want to integrate any sensor or device from another manufacturer into the BleBox automation system.

With the “BleBox inputSensorD” state sensor, you can easily expand the capabilities of the BleBox system or integrate an existing third-party system with BleBox automation.

The free wBox app, available for smartphones and computers, allows you to read data from multiple modules simultaneously from anywhere in the world.

Safety sensors

The “BleBox inputSensorD” WiFi input module enables reading of state signals (so-called “alarm” – NO or NC) and tamper signals (so-called “tamper” – NO or NC) from various types of safety sensors and detectors.

This allows it to work with existing devices such as fire, smoke, carbon monoxide, natural gas (LNG), or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sensors.

Home and industrial sensors

The “BleBox inputSensorD” WiFi input module enables reading of state signals (NO or NC) from various types of sensors used in homes, offices, and industrial environments.

This allows it to work with existing devices such as motion and presence sensors, liquid flow detectors, pressure sensors, parking space occupancy sensors, tank fill level sensors, and septic tank level sensors.

In cooperation with various sensors, it is even possible to create solutions such as a mail detection sensor in a mailbox.

For a parking space occupancy sensor, we recommend:

 “blebox parkingSensor”

State of window and door opening

The “BleBox inputSensorD” WiFi input module allows you to read the state of reed switches and inductive sensors that are factory-installed by window or door manufacturers.

This enables real-time monitoring of the open state of windows as well as terrace, balcony, or entrance doors.

Additionally, it can also be used to monitor the open state of gates, wickets, stable boxes, animal enclosure gates, drawers, medicine cabinets, electrical boxes, or IT cabinets.

ReedSwitch BleBox

“blebox reedSwitch”

If you need not only to monitor but also control a gate, we recommend:
“blebox gateBox”
“blebox gateBox PRO”

If you need not only to monitor but also control doors or wickets, we recommend:
“blebox doorBox”
“blebox doorBox PRO”

For roof windows, if you need not only to monitor their open state but also control the opening level, we recommend:
“blebox shutterBoxDC”

Integration with other devices

The “BleBox inputSensorD” WiFi input module enables integration with various electrical and electronic devices, allowing the BleBox system to be expanded with information from other devices or external automation systems.

Example applications:

  • Connect the sensor inputs to the outputs of an alarm control panel to check in the wBox app whether the alarm is armed or to read the status of motion detectors.
  • Connect the sensor input to a dedicated terminal of a camera or video intercom to read a preconfigured “alarm” signal.

Customize the interface, UI/UX!

The device offers a wide range of binary icons in the wBox app, allowing you to match an icon to a specific application. This makes the interface clearer and more intuitive — the user can easily recognize the device and its status just by looking at the icon, without reading its name or state description.

Additionally, when the icon is changed, the descriptions of the detected states are automatically adjusted, for example:

  • on / off
  • event detected / no events
  • alarm armed / alarm disarmed
  • gas leak detected / all clear
  • smoke detected / all clear
  • open / closed
  • space occupied / space free

Automation, actions

The “BleBox inputSensorD” smart WiFi sensor not only allows you to monitor the state of devices and sensors but also to create functional home automation scenarios.

Based on the received signals, it is possible to wirelessly control other BleBox devices, such as:

 

Example automation scenarios:

  • When the alarm arming signal is detected, automatically close all shutters in the house.
  • When the alarm arming signal is detected, automatically turn off all lighting in the house.
  • When a smoke detection signal is received, automatically activate the alarm siren and smoke ventilation system.
  • When a gas detection signal is received, automatically activate the alarm siren, start the ventilation, and close the gas valve.
  • When a signal from a projector is detected, automatically lower the screen when it is turned on and raise it when it is turned off.
  • When a window opening signal is detected — if the window remains open for more than 5 minutes, turn off the air conditioner.
  • When a balcony door opening signal is detected — send a command to disable the shutter schedule (to prevent accidentally closing yourself outside on the terrace).

Notifications and alerts

The “BleBox inputSensorD” smart WiFi sensor allows sending warning and push notifications directly to your smartphone.

Additionally, it is possible to personalize the notification content, allowing you to tailor messages to your own needs.

Examples of custom notifications:

  • “Alarm activated!”
  • “Warning! Smoke detected!”
  • “Warning! High gas concentration detected!”
  • “Alarm disarmed!”
  • “Motion detected in the garden!”
  • “Septic tank is almost full.”
  • “Warning! Electrical distribution box opened!”
  • “Parking space is occupied.”
  • “Animal enclosure gate has been opened.”
  • “Balcony door has been opened.”
  • “Living room window has been open for more than 2 hours.”
  • “Device has been running for more than 3 hours.”
  • “Mail received – check your mailbox.”

Historical data, state chart

In the wBox app, you can view historical data.

Archived data is available for up to 12 months and displayed on an interactive chart, making it easy to analyze changes over time.

For advanced users, there is an option to export data to files in the following formats:

  • “.csv”
  • “.xlsx” (Excel)

This makes it easy to process, compare, and archive measurements in external systems and analytical tools.

Operating time monitoring

Connecting the operating state output or power supply voltage to the input of the “BleBox inputSensorD” WiFi sensor allows collecting data on the operating time of the connected electrical or electronic device.

Interactive charts with historical data allow you to quickly check the device’s operating time over a day, week, or month, making it easier to analyze and plan regular maintenance.

Safe power supply!

The “BleBox inputSensorD” WiFi sensor is powered by a safe 5–24V DC voltage, allowing it to operate in FELV, PELV, and SELV systems.

Support for ELV (Extra Low Voltage) on both the power supply and input terminals makes the “inputSensorD” ideal for use in home automation as well as in more advanced industrial systems.

Directly, locally, or remotely

The “BleBox inputSensorD” WiFi device offers three communication methods:

  • Directly – via the WiFi network broadcast by the controller itself
  • Locally – through the home WiFi network, without Internet access
  • Remotely – from anywhere in the world, thanks to the free BleBox Cloud

Thanks to local communication, automations work reliably even in the event of an Internet outage.

Multiple users!

Thanks to the free BleBox Cloud and the wBox app, you can manage access to the sensor from anywhere in the world and easily share it with other users.

BleBox Cloud servers are located in the European Union, the USA, and Canada to ensure greater reliability and privacy.
