Please test and validate before adopting to your system
If you wish to use any of the BLE devices from other manufacturers introduced on the obniz official website, you do so at your own risk, and you should thoroughly review and test them prior to use. obniz Inc. makes no warranty to you regarding the suitability of such devices for any particular purpose, their reliability and accuracy, or any results obtained when used with the products themselves or in combination with obniz products.
Please contact us if you need to order a large lot or if you need kitting (Wi-Fi settings, etc.) during shipment.
Case Studies
Linking data from BLE sensors and beacons to services
The obniz BLE Gateway Series easily connects BLE devices (BLE-compatible sensors and beacons) to the network. You can easily start various IoT services by combining the gateway with sensors that detect various conditions such as movement of people and objects, temperature, brightness, humidity, and CO2 concentration.
BLE/Wi-Fi gateway
for programming in the Cloud
With a power supply and Wi-Fi environment, BLE sensors and beacons can be connected to the cloud for BLE scanning and connection, all remotely controlled and updated from a dedicated cloud (obniz Cloud). With Nodejs, development is completely free, and BLE sensor values can be instantly linked to any database or API server.
const LOGTTA_CO2 = Obniz.getPartsClass('Logtta_CO2');
await obniz.ble.initWait();
obniz.ble.scan.onfind = (peripheral) => {
const targets = ['a8f7c7d9'];
if (!targets.includes(peripheral.address))
return;
if (LOGTTA_CO2.isAdvDevice(peripheral) ) {
const data = LOGTTA_CO2.getData(peripheral);
console.log(data.co2); // => CO2 ppm level.
}
};
await obniz.ble.scan.startWait();
Scan and rich filters
The gateway can scan for a variety of conditions. It is possible to filter completely freely, such as only those from a specific vendor or only those of a specific strength.
Connection and Pairing
Can be connected to 7 devices at the same time. Passkey-based pairing is also supported.
Free beaconing
It can send out beacons in any format and can even be time-varying. It can also accept connections from outside.
easy to develop, operate, and manage with obniz
Remotely and centrally manage
all devices and equipment in the Cloud
Adding BLE devices or changing their specifications is as simple as modifying the program on the server. The system can be modified and updated immediately after operation. It is also easy to support new models and versions of sensors.
Management functions and security
are all provided by obniz.
The dedicated cloud (obniz Cloud) provides device management and dead/active monitoring functions and TLS communication as standard, allowing you to check the status of the gateway, including Wi-Fi signal strength and connection logs, as well as network connection status from a web browser.
obniz features/services for management and operation
Device Management
Function to manage owned devices in the cloud, including changing various statuses, managing apps in use, issuing device keys, and OTA.
Operation Monitoring
Function to view and manage device status (online/offline), connection history, and other device operating conditions
Issue Management
Function that notifies the management screen or email as an issue when a problem occurs with a device.
Issue Management
Remote OS Update (OTA)
Remotely update the device's OS (obnizOS) via the Internet. Multiple devices can be updated by bulk operation.
Security Setting
You can choose to put on an Access Token to each obniz. Access Token can be disabled and regenerated anytime.
Update network settings remotely
This function allows you to write network settings for online devices in remote locations from the cloud.

Facility Manegement
We support kitting and installation work when introducing a large number of devices to a facility.
Wi-Fi MESH
This function allows obniz devices to automatically connect to each other via Wi-Fi to expand the Wi-Fi area.
Just connect to the network,
Easy to set up
The only work required to install the gateway is network configuration. Just plug it into an outlet and connect it to the network to start operation. There is no need to write anything on the gateway. This drastically reduces the human cost and time required for Set up.
Support for a variety of BLE sensors and beacons
Environmental sensors such as temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration, beacons, BLE beacon sensors from various manufacturers such as blood pressure meters and thermometers, and BLE devices can be used.
The following is an example of supported beacon sensors.See List for supported sensors. If you would like to purchase beacons/sensors, you can purchase or request a quote from the official store. If you do not see the product you want listed, please contact us>.
