Questions

Before you map.

Will it work on my property?

Each node connects to the NZ cellular network using LTE-M and NB-IoT, the 4G technologies built for sensors on rural properties. When you send us your map, we check coverage for each point before anything is ordered.

Can I really install it myself?

Yes. Everything arrives pre-configured and labelled for each point on your map. Mount the node on the tank or a post, attach the sensors and switch it on, and it connects itself. Allow about an hour per monitoring point. If you'd rather not do it yourself, we work closely with your existing service providers. Pump control units need an electrician to wire them in. If you get stuck, email our support team.

What does the monthly fee cover?

The network connection for each node, the Knode app on desktop and phone, alerts by text and email, and support.

What about power and batteries?

Choose a solar node for remote sites or a power node near a shed or pump house; they cost the same. The solar node's backup battery runs 8–12 weeks with no sun. The power node plugs into a standard wall outlet, keeps reporting through a power cut on its backup battery, and alerts you when the mains goes off. The app shows battery level for every node.

How long does delivery take, and is there a warranty?

Delivery is usually 1–2 weeks. All Knode hardware comes with a 2-year warranty.

Is there a contract?

No lock-in. The platform plan is month to month, charged to your card. Cancel any time and it ends at the end of that month. The hardware is yours once it's paid for.

Can I add more later?

Yes. Add sensors to an existing node up to its limits, or add new monitoring points anywhere on your property. Just map them and send them through.
