Description

The ThermalOnline Cat-M is an industrial-grade thermal monitoring kit for remote, non-contact temperature detection. It combines an MLX90640 thermal sensor, M5Stack BASIC ESP32 control, and a SIM7080G Cat-M/NB-IoT communication module, while Wi-Fi remains available through the core controller. The ThermalOnline Cat-M thermal monitoring kit supports Cat-M, NB-IoT, and Wi-Fi communication, and its base exposes I2C, UART, GPIO, RS485, DC input, and battery interfaces for sensor expansion. This MLX90640 thermal sensor solution is built for remote monitoring, automation, and data acquisition where a compact CAT-M thermal monitoring kit is easier to deploy than a separate camera, controller, and modem.

Other Content

The ThermalOnline Cat-M keeps the MLX90640 thermal sensor, controller, cellular modem, antenna, power adapter, terminals, and DIN rail hardware in one kit. The thermal monitoring kit can send data through the SIM7080G module or use Wi-Fi through the BASIC core, while RS485 and GPIO make it easier to integrate with nearby sensors or controllers. For projects that need remote temperature alerts or periodic thermal data collection, ThermalOnline Cat-M reduces wiring and enclosure work.
