LoRaWAN Proximity sensors are used to build a contact between two wires. It detects the proximity using magnet and range with an ultrasonic signal. The Wireless Proximity Sensor is capable of sensing when objects are either taken away from or positioned in front of it. In addition to sending regular heartbeat signals every 15 minutes, the sensor also communicates a notification whenever an object is either removed from or placed in its proximity. It can be used for outdoor as well as indoor applications.
