WisBlock Home and Office Security Kit Datasheet

Overview

Description

The WisBlock Home and Office Security Kit is a comprehensive and customizable IoT kit that is designed to provide security for homes and offices. This kit includes a range of sensors and modules that focus on detecting intrusion and access control. The intrusion detection sensors include PIR, radar, and ultrasonic sensors that provide reliable and accurate detection of movement and intrusion. The access control modules include fingerprint, NFC, and barcode sensors that provide secure and convenient access to your home or office.

Depending on the use case, this kit supports different connectivity options, including LoRaWAN, BLE, LTE-M, and NB-IoT,enabling long-range and short-range communication. With this kit, you can easily monitor your home or office remotely, receive real-time alerts, and take appropriate action in the event of an intrusion or unauthorized access attempt.

Hardware

WisBlock Base and Core

WisBlock Kits require WisBlock Base and WisBlock Core to be useful for any IoT application. The sensor and IO modules included in the kit will not work without the base and core.

The table shows the base and core included in the kit.

RAK Model	Function	Feature
RAK19001	WisBlock Base	USB-C, 6 sensor slot, 2 IO slot, battery/solar connector
RAK19007	WisBlock Base	USB-C, 4 sensor slot, 1 IO slot, battery/solar connector
RAK4631	WisBlock Core	Based on nrf52840 (BLE) and SX1262 (LoRa), IPEX connector for antenna

NOTE

RAK4631 is compatible with Arduino IDE. You can add the module to the board manager by following either the Installation Guide in the Learn section or the RAK Arduino BSP GitHub Repo.
