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.

💧 You can't use the same sensor for every body of water.

Whether it’s a roaring river, a calm lake, a fish tank, deep in a well, or out in the snow – the environment dictates the physical principle.

That’s why our lineup includes distinct technologies, all transmitting reliably over LoRaWAN:

🔹DL-MBX — water level, open water surface, flood monitoring, waste water management, tank level
https://www.decentlab.com/products/ultrasonic-distance-/-level-sensor-for-lorawan

🔹DL-LID-002 — water level monitoring, flood monitoring, snow level monitoring, generic ranging
https://www.decentlab.com/products/laser-distance-level-sensor-with-mounting-for-lorawan

🔹DL-PR21 (G1/4" pipe thread) — pipelines, district heating, water distribution networks, leakage detection, pump monitoring
https://www.decentlab.com/products/pressure-/-liquid-level-and-temperature-sensor-with-g1/4-pipe-thread-for-lorawan

🔹DL-PR26 — groundwater and wells, boreholes, tanks, leakage detection, pump monitoring

.. and this is just a small fraction of our water monitoring sensors!

Where do you need to measure? Let's discuss in the comments. 👇

🛠️ It takes many steps to reach the finished product — many of them still done by hand. Every single device is assembled and tested in-house in Dübendorf, Switzerland before it goes out into the field.

The DL-MBX measures distance and water level by ultrasonic time of flight:

• Range from 0.5 … 10 m and 0.3 m up to 10 m, depending on variant
• 1 mm resolution
• 1 % accuracy or better, factory calibrated
• LoRaWAN class A, 2 C alkaline batteries

Used in the field for water level, flood monitoring, waste water, and tank level applications.

DL-BLG & DL-SHT35-003, installed by Umwelt- und Gesundheitsschutz Zürich (UGZ) to measure radiant heat, air temperature and humidity — together with a DL-ATM22 (wind), these are the inputs needed to compute Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and assess heat stress in urban environments.

A nice example of how environmental sensing can blend into existing city infrastructure — in this case, a historic Zürich lamppost.

Many thanks to Stefan Fluck, UGZ, for the great picture!

An asphalted road became canals, footpaths, and trees.

Then they measured what it actually did — for six years.

In Dordrecht (NL), the Municipality and OnePlanet Research Center ran this as part of the European LIFE Critical project. A sensor network monitored temperature, humidity, NO₂, and particulate matter across parks, homes, and roadsides from 2019 to 2025 — with 15 Decentlab DL-SHT35 sensors providing the temperature and humidity data.

What the data showed:

• Park and blue-green areas stayed consistently cooler than built-up zones, especially during heat events
• Results suggest the transformation narrowed extreme temperature differences from 1.4 °C to 0.9 °C
• NO₂ was systematically lower in green, low-traffic areas

Green infrastructure doesn't just look better. With six years of data, you can show it measurably cools and evens out a neighbourhood's climate.

We're proud our 15 DL-SHT35 sensors delivered the temperature and humidity data behind these findings — stable and continuous, for six years. 🌍

Heat period or heatwave – what’s the difference? 🌡️

Last week, Switzerland saw an intense early-summer heat event — over 30°C in May, weeks before summer even began.

Despite peaks of over 33°C, it was officially classified as a heat period, not a heatwave.

The reason is mathematical: A formal heatwave requires the 24-hour average temperature to exceed a critical threshold for three consecutive days. Because rural areas cooled down significantly at night, that official average wasn't met.

In cities, however, cooling down happens at a much slower pace. While open fields and green spaces outside the city begin to cool immediately after sunset, asphalt and concrete hold onto the daytime heat and release it very gradually.

This highlights a crucial point: General weather reports provide vital macro-data—but how fast and how effectively our immediate surroundings actually cool down is determined entirely by the local microclimate.

We're back! 👋
For those who had a long weekend — hope you enjoyed it. For those who didn't — well, neither did our sensors.

Take our DL-SMTP for example — measuring soil moisture and temperature year after year, without a break. But at least it gets to do so surrounded by nature at its most beautiful.

Happy Pentecost weekend! 🌿

In Switzerland, we celebrate next Monday as a public holiday — time to recharge. Our sensors, however, have other plans.

See you Tuesday!

Our DL-LP8P in action! Somewhere above the rooftops of Zurich, located next to passive sampler diffusion tubes ...

This compact sensor captures:
- CO₂
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Barometric pressure

Key parameters for understanding urban air quality. It contributes to Zurich's growing network of real-time environmental data.

The Limmat River is the heart of Zurich’s outdoor life.

Right now, the river is quiet. In a few weeks, it will be filled with thousands of rafts and swimmers. But while the city waits for summer, our sensors are already working.

Mounted along the riverbank, DL-ATM22 sensors are recording the urban microclimate every ten minutes.

- Wireless via LoRaWAN®
- Battery-powered
- Zero maintenance

We don't wait for the rush to start measuring. We build the baseline today, so the data is there when the questions arise.
