VegeSim™(Cellular Connectivity Module) - Details

The VegeSim™ adds built-in cellular connectivity to the VegeHub product line, allowing your sensors to send data to the internet anywhere there is cellular coverage — no Wi-Fi, no network configuration, and no local infrastructure required.

Perfect for gardens, fields, greenhouses, remote sites, rental properties, and off-grid installations.

Uses Low-Cost SIM Cards

You can use any low cost IoT SIM cards with the VegeSim. An IoT SIM card looks similar to a phone SIM, but it’s designed for machines instead of people. Instead of enabling voice calls and high-speed data for smartphones, an IoT SIM provides low-cost, low-bandwidth, highly reliable data connectivity for devices like sensors, controllers, and data loggers.

Typical carrier costs are only a few dollars per month.

Designed for Long Battery Life

One of our primary design goals for all of our products is long battery life. We wanted you to be able to place this anywhere without worrying about power connections.

The VegeSim only powers up when the VegeHub is ready to send data. Depending on battery size and update rates, you can extend battery life up to a year.

For faster data rates a solar panel and rechargeable battery is recommended.

Built-in Security For Your Sensors

The VegeHub uses TLS 1.2 SSL for secure Internet connections, allowing it to do secure HTTPS posts to servers. If you don't care about security, you can still post using regular HTTP.

The VegeHub comes with the most commonly used website certificates, or you can easily install your own.

Connect to Common 3rd Party Sites

Your VegeSim allows you to connect your VegeHub to data aggregation websites such as VegeCloud, ThingSpeak, or your own server right out of the box. These sites will graph your data, and allow you to create actions, such as send an email, when your sensor data has crossed a particular threshold.

We especially recommend: VegeCloud.com which will store your data, and allow you visualize it with graphs, and allow you to set triggers on your data so that you can get text alerts and email messages, when your sensors have passed a threshold value.

Vegecloud.com also allows you to remotely change your hubs settings. When your VegeHub posts data to VegeCloud it checks to see if any of it's settings have changed, and updates accordingly.

If you want to post to your own website, this is also possible, using our simple VegeHub Cloud API.

Rugged and Waterproof for Long Life in Harsh Conditions

You can put this box outside in the rain or snow. The rugged PET plastic box has silicone rubber gaskets making it waterproof. All of the cable entry points use cable glands, so that no water or insects can get in.

The box has screw holes for easy mounting, so that you can put it anywhere.
