The SMSEagle NXS series SMS gateways are more than just reliable message senders – when paired with smart sensors, they provide an excellent solution for monitoring environments where water ingress or temperature fluctuations require immediate action. Whether it's a server room, cold storage, or technical area, the system sends real-time alerts to help prevent serious damage.

SMSEagle devices can be expanded with sensors connected via 1-Wire or digital inputs. These sensors can immediately signal the presence of water in the environment or detect when the temperature rises above or drops below a defined threshold.

🔥 Temperature sensor

The SMSEagle device features a built-in thermometer, but it can also be connected to an external waterproof 1-Wire probe (measuring from –10 °C to +85 °C with ±0.5 °C accuracy).

Alert thresholds can be configured via the web interface, enabling the system to automatically send SMS, email, or SNMP notifications when temperatures exceed or fall below the defined limits.

Key Benefits:

Accurate measurement even in industrial environments
External waterproof probe (available in 1 m or 3 m lengths)
Easy configuration via web interface
Support for multiple alert channels (SMS, email, SNMP)

Ideal for cold storage rooms, server rooms, livestock facilities, and machine rooms where temperature monitoring is critical.

💧 Water leak sensor

The water leak sensor is an industrial-grade, IP66-rated device that connects directly to the SMSEagle's digital input. Upon contact with water, it activates a relay that automatically triggers an SMS alert.

Thanks to its low power consumption, it can be safely used even in flammable environments.

Key Benefits:

Durable, waterproof design
Quick and easy installation
Stable operation with strong interference protection
Full compatibility with SMSEagle devices

Ideal for server rooms, machine rooms, or basements where water leakage could cause serious damage.
