LoRaWAN Temperature, Humidity & LUX Sensor
The ioX-Connect LoRaWAN Temperature, Humidity & Lux Sensor (TH01LX) is a long-range wireless device that combines indoor climate monitoring with precision light-level measurement. Its built-in temperature and humidity sensor covers ambient conditions, while the external BH1750 illuminance probe on a 50 cm cable enables flexible placement for accurate lux readings. Pre-provisioned with unique LoRaWAN keys, the TH01LX ships ready for rapid onboarding to your ioX-Connect platform.
Designed for multi-year unattended operation, this sensor runs on a 2,400 mAh non-rechargeable battery rated for 10+ years of field deployment. It supports LoRaWAN Class A for optimal power efficiency, and a tri-color LED provides at-a-glance status. Remote configuration is available via AT commands or LoRaWAN downlink, eliminating the need for on-site adjustments. The combination of temperature, humidity, and lux monitoring in one compact package makes the TH01LX a versatile tool for smart building management, greenhouse automation, and energy-efficiency programs.

Deploy and Optimize Your Operations
Deploying the TH01LX is straightforward: mount, connect, configure, and monitor. Your ambient data flows wirelessly to your platform, enabling real-time climate decisions, energy optimization, and documented compliance.
Four Simple Deployment Steps:
- Unbox and Inspect: Verify the sensor body, external BH1750 illuminance probe, and battery are undamaged. Check the 50 cm probe cable for integrity.
- Mount and Position: Attach the TH01LX to a wall, ceiling, or equipment surface. Route the 50 cm illuminance probe cable to the optimal light-reading position—near a window, above a workstation, or alongside grow lights.
- Connect to LoRaWAN: The sensor ships pre-provisioned. It joins your LoRaWAN network automatically via OTAA or ABP credentials. Configure advanced settings via AT commands or LoRaWAN downlink if needed.
- Monitor and Optimize: Access real-time temperature, humidity, and lux data in the ioX-Connect platform. Set alerts, automate HVAC and lighting responses, and track energy and compliance metrics.
It’s Not Just a Sensor, It’s a System
The TH01LX doesn’t operate in isolation. It’s part of the ioX-Connect platform—a complete IoT ecosystem designed to turn ambient data into business outcomes. While standalone environmental sensors measure and report, the ioX-Connect platform translates those measurements into actionable intelligence.
Our system integrates wireless sensors, secure cloud infrastructure, advanced analytics, and mobile-first interfaces. You get real-time alerts, historical trend analysis, predictive climate recommendations, automated gateway management, and compliance documentation—all built for enterprise reliability. That’s why facility managers, greenhouse operators, and energy consultants trust ioX-Connect to deliver measurable ROI.

1. Smart Building Daylight Harvesting
Commercial building managers deploy the TH01LX to measure natural light levels throughout the day. The lux probe, positioned near windows or skylights, feeds real-time illuminance data to the building management system. When natural light exceeds thresholds, automated systems dim artificial lighting—cutting electricity costs while maintaining occupant comfort. Paired with temperature and humidity data, the TH01LX enables comprehensive building intelligence.
- Reduce lighting energy consumption by aligning artificial lights with available daylight
- Improve occupant comfort with consistent, data-driven illumination
- Document energy savings for green building certifications (LEED, ENERGY STAR)
- Optimize grow-light schedules based on actual lux measurements, not timers
- Prevent mold and disease by monitoring humidity alongside temperature
- Reduce supplemental lighting costs by verifying natural light availability
- Identify under-conditioned or over-conditioned zones across your facility
- Correlate temperature, humidity, and light data for comprehensive energy audits
- Document HVAC performance for regulatory compliance and ESG reporting
- Detect occupied vs. unoccupied zones without cameras or motion sensors
- Optimize HVAC and lighting schedules for actual usage patterns
- Reduce energy spend in underutilized areas of your portfolio
- Protect artifacts from light damage by tracking cumulative lux exposure
- Maintain stable humidity and temperature for long-term preservation
- Generate compliance reports for insurance and accreditation requirements
2. Greenhouse and Grow-House Climate Control
Greenhouse operators need precise control over temperature, humidity, and light—the three factors that determine plant health and yield. The TH01LX monitors all three from a single device. The external lux probe can be placed at canopy level while the sensor body remains above the grow zone. Automated alerts trigger ventilation, heating, or supplemental lighting adjustments before conditions damage crops.
3. HVAC Optimization and Energy Efficiency
Facility managers deploy TH01LX sensors across zones to create a granular map of building conditions. Temperature and humidity data drive HVAC scheduling, while lux readings verify that occupied zones have adequate lighting without waste. The result: a data-driven approach to comfort and energy spend that replaces guesswork and scheduled timers.
4. Workspace Occupancy and Comfort Analytics
Corporate real estate teams use lux data as a proxy for workspace utilization—lights on in a conference room correlate with occupancy. Combined with temperature and humidity metrics, the TH01LX provides a low-cost, non-intrusive approach to understanding how spaces are used and whether they’re comfortable. No cameras, no privacy concerns—just ambient data that drives smarter space planning.
5. Museum, Archive, and Artifact Preservation
Museums and archives require stable environmental conditions to protect sensitive collections. The TH01LX monitors temperature and humidity to prevent deterioration, while lux tracking ensures exhibits and storage areas stay within acceptable light exposure limits. The 10+ year battery life and LoRaWAN range make it practical to monitor large facilities with dozens of zones and no wired infrastructure.

Please reach out to us at: sales@iox-connect.com if you have any additional questions that are not addressed below. You can also check out our content library for more information and content on wireless sensors and IoT.
The TH01LX measures three ambient parameters: temperature (–40 °C to +80 °C / –40 °F to +176 °F), humidity (0–96% RH with ±3% accuracy), and illuminance (0–65,535 lx with 1 lx resolution) using an external BH1750 light sensor on a 50 cm cable.
The BH1750 illuminance probe connects to the TH01LX via a 50 cm cable. You position the probe where you need light readings, near a window, at workstation height, or at plant canopy level, while the main sensor body can remain mounted elsewhere. The probe measures visible light in lux with 1 lx resolution.
The TH01LX includes a built-in 2,400 mAh non-rechargeable battery rated for 10+ years of operation. Actual battery life depends on your reporting interval and environmental conditions, but the LoRaWAN Class A protocol is designed for minimal power consumption.
Yes. The TH01LX supports remote configuration via AT commands and LoRaWAN downlink through the ioX-Connect platform. You can adjust reporting intervals, thresholds, and other parameters without visiting the sensor in the field.
Yes. Every TH01LX ships pre-provisioned with unique LoRaWAN keys for the ioX-Connect platform. You can also connect it to any standard LoRaWAN network server using OTAA or ABP activation.
Yes. When paired with ioX-Connect Smart Relays or a building management system, TH01LX lux and temperature data can trigger automated responses—dimming lights when natural light is sufficient, activating ventilation when humidity rises, or adjusting HVAC setpoints based on real-time conditions.
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a low-power, long-range wireless protocol designed for IoT sensors and devices. It operates in unlicensed ISM bands (915 MHz in the US), which means no recurring cellular data fees. LoRaWAN is managed by the LoRa Alliance, with over 125 million connected devices worldwide.
LoRaWAN sensors typically achieve 3–5 km in urban environments and up to 10–15 km in rural, line-of-sight conditions. Range depends on antenna height, building density, and environmental factors. Indoor deployments typically cover an entire commercial building from a single gateway.
Yes. LoRaWAN uses AES-128 end-to-end encryption with two separate security keys—one for the network layer and one for the application layer. Data is encrypted from the sensor to your platform, preventing interception or tampering. Speak with an IoT Speacialist today.
