Decentlab

Decentlab is a Swiss company providing wireless sensor devices and services for distributed, cost-effective monitoring solutions.

The main products include sensors and services based on LoRaWAN wireless communication technology that allow for continuous and cost-effective monitoring of physical characteristics in natural and artificially built environments. The sensor devices communicate wirelessly over LoRaWAN® and are designed for ultra low power consumption, capable of operating on batteries for several years. The devices are built for industrial applications and are ready to be deployed in any harsh indoor or outdoor environment. The service framework provides convenient access to measurement data and enables seamless integration into existing monitoring and control systems. Application areas are environmental and air quality monitoring, hydrological measurements, smart agriculture and smart cities.

Back from Berlin – Smart Country Convention 2026 is over, and we’re taking a lot home with us. 🚀

Three days full of impressions, great conversations and new contacts with municipalities, districts, utilities and companies driving smart city and smart village projects forward.

Together with iot-shop, LB Elektronik and Kerlink we had a joint booth and showed our LoRaWAN sensors. Thank you to everyone who stopped by – we really enjoyed the conversations and the exchange with you.

Thank you Smart Country Convention for the great event. We’ll be back!

Back from Valencia, and already preparing for the next event. 🇪🇸➡️🇩🇪

A big thank you to everyone who visited us at IoT Sparks yesterday in Valencia, and to the organisers for a great event. We really enjoyed the conversations.

Now we're getting ready for the Smart Country Convention in Berlin next week, from 13 to 15 October at Messe Berlin. It's the leading event for digital government and public services, covering smart cities, mobility and sustainability.

We are at the booth of -shop together with and Elektro- und Verkehrsanlagenbau.

Meet us there, we look forward to seeing you!

📍 Next week, we're heading to Valencia for IoT Sparks!

On October 7th, 2026, we'll be joining innovators and decision-makers from across the IoT ecosystem in Valencia, Spain.

At 12:40, we'll be part of the panel Implementation of Solutions in Urban Environments and Services, sharing insights on bringing sensor solutions into real-world urban applications together with Steve Carr (Talking IoT), Annalena Zottmann (mioty alliance) and Alex Gluhak (OASC).

Visit us at our booth to see our LoRaWAN® sensors up close and talk about your next project.

We look forward to meeting you there!

“So, what does Decentlab actually make?”

We get this question a lot. Usually the answer takes a few minutes. Now it takes one picture.

From soil moisture profiles to air quality. From water level and conductivity to sap flow and dendrometers. From winter road surface temperature to solar radiation, wind and rain. From leaf wetness to a weighing scale for beehives.

All on LoRaWAN®, all on batteries, all built to be installed once and left alone for years.

Measuring when ice is about to form – not when it already has.

The Albula valley is famous for the Rhaetian Railway's UNESCO-listed line. Far fewer people notice the road beside it, until winter, when this shaded stretch between Tiefencastel and Surava can ice over within an hour of sunset.

Our DL-CWS winter road maintenance sensor sits at the top of the mast, measuring road surface temperature without touching it, plus air temperature, humidity and dew point – the parameters that matter most for assessing road conditions. Data goes out wirelessly over LoRaWAN®, so the road crew knows about icing risk before the first car drives through.

Still summer here. Not for much longer.

❄️ Winter is planned in autumn – in our workshop too.

From assembly to installation: right now, DL-WRM | Winter Road Maintenance Sensors for LoRaWAN® are being built in Dübendorf – tubes, cable glands, radiation shields, screw by screw – so they're ready when the first cold nights come.

The DL-WRM-002 measures:

• Surface temperature (infrared pyrometer, no contact with the road)
• Air temperature
• Air humidity

Wireless via LoRaWAN®, battery-powered. No cabling, no power supply, no setup – just place and measure.

Applications: winter road maintenance, frost alarming, ice alert, outdoor remote monitoring – and smart agriculture, for those who worry about frost in the field rather than on the road.

🌳💧 100 of our DL-SMTP Soil Moisture and Temperature Profile for LoRaWAN® sensors are now in the ground in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Since July 2026, they have been continuously measuring soil moisture and temperature in the root zone of 100 young trees – at six depths across a 600 mm profile. Six readings per tree instead of one.

And that distinction is exactly what makes the difference. According to the parks department, early results point to a pattern: watering mostly reaches the upper layers, which dry out quickly in the heat. The deeper layers often get too little – right where a young tree's roots are meant to grow.

The soil looks watered. The profile shows where the water stopped.

The data should show which trees actually need water, where it's most urgent, and how long it stays available in each layer. The first step toward a city-wide network.

It doesn't replace the watering can: the city still asks residents to help water during dry periods.

New in our portfolio: the DL-RAD.

A river gauge on a bridge. A wet well in a pump station. A stormwater overflow basin. A culvert outfall. These are levels you need to trust during a storm, not just on a dry Tuesday.

Radar measures from above. Nothing in the water. Nothing to freeze, corrode or dig out. Sediment, foam and turbulence don't touch the reading, because radar measures the distance to the surface, not the weight above a probe.

That is what the DL-RAD | Radar Distance / Level Sensor for LoRaWAN® is built for:
- Robust measurement due to Radar for all kind of surfaces
- Range 0 … 20 m
- Resolution 1 mm
- Contactless 80 GHz radar with narrow beam angle 8°
- Two Type C alkaline batteries for autonomous operation
- Data send wireless over LoRaWAN®

Applications:
- Flood monitoring
- Water level monitoring
- Fill Level monitoring
- Generic ranging and proximity monitoring

Missed it? The recording is now online.

We joined the LoRa Alliance webinar "Precision at Scale: Where LoRaWAN® Wins in Agriculture."

Our part: soil moisture — the single most useful measurement in the root zone, and where irrigation stops being a calendar assumption and starts being a decision based on real field data.
