Meet NODE, a handheld powerhouse with Low-Energy Bluetooth 4.0, a 9 degrees-of-freedom motion engine, a gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer, in addition to the interchangeable modules you can add to either end.

With NODE, you can measure movement, or add meaning to it. Your call. Attach any of the modules, LUMA, CLIMA or THERMA, to enhance your NODE.

Interchangeable Module

A high-quality remote-controlled flashlight module, Luma uses 8 LEDs to light the space around you or wherever you place it. With the NODE app from Variable, you can select how many of those LEDs you want to turn on or off and even assign a flashing pattern. Adjust the mood-lighting from your phone. Or just have fun with it.

Highlights:

8 High-brightness LEDs
Use one or all of the 8 LEDs
Extra-long sleep life via Bluetooth Low-energy
Programmable flash patterns
Adjust the lighting remotely from your smartphone

Directly useful for:

Compact flashlight for a car or bag
Altering the mood-lighting right from your phone
Remote signal lighting
Turn on remotely during a power outage
A helpful addition to other modules...
Interchangeable Module

Whether you spend a lot of time on the trails or just want to better manage your greenhouse, the Clima module allows you to measure the climate around you. Sensing barometric pressure, ambient light, temperature, and humidity, NODE+Clima allows you to find your elevation while hiking up a mountain, check how well the landlord insulated the attic, or inspect the basement for humidity. Its fun and functional.

Highlights:

Measures humidity, temperature, and barometric pressure
Senses ambient light
Tells the climate of wherever you place it

Directly useful for:

Testing basements for humidity
Monitoring for changes in temperature in a controlled environment
Testing insulation in the attic
Light- or temperature-based cues like walking the dog after dark or covering the flowerbed in the cold
Transmitting temp readings from firefighters in a building to the fire chief outside
Pairing with other modules for very sophisticated applications...
Interchangeable Module

How do you find the temperature of items you cant reach or touch? With the Therma module, Variable Technologies provides the perfect one-tool solution to measuring temperature at a distance. Use NODE+Therma to inspect your home for poor insulation, check the heat of heavy machinery, or painlessly check your drink temperature. This is the first of several infrared sensors were cooking up, and were thrilled to make it available. (Its a lot of fun to play with!)

Highlights:

Measure heat or cold at a distance
2 LED aiming guides
Use the Therma App to mark heat signatures

Directly useful for:

Inspecting heavy machinery at a distance
Looking for weak points in insulation
Testing for hotspots in walls
Monitoring cooling systems
Determining external food temperature
Touchless thermometer
