MMOCREO Hub Selection Guide
Pick the right hub for your coverage and growth. LoRa for large areas, BLE for small areas, or Standalone for single-point monitoring.
- Large areas / multi-room / multi-floor / heavy walls → choose a LoRa hub (H5Pro / H6Pro). LoRa hubs are compatible with all MOCREO sensors (LoRa + BLE).
- Small areas / single room / short range → choose a BLE hub (H5Lite / H3 / H4) with BLE sensors.
- No hub / single-point monitoring → choose a Standalone device (e.g., NS1 / ST7CL / NM1) that connects over Wi-Fi.
Rule note: LoRa hubs support all MOCREO sensors (LoRa + BLE). BLE hubs support BLE sensors only.
Quick Decision Table
| Need / Condition | Recommended hub / device | Typical bundle | |
| Multi-floor, large area, heavy obstacles | LoRa hub (H5Pro / H6Pro) | Hub + LoRa temp/RH/leak/door; can add BLE too | |
| Single room, short range | BLE hub (H5Lite / H3 / H4) | Hub + BLE temp (ST5/ST6) or leak (SW2), etc. | |
| No hub / single point / need simple install | Standalone device | NS1 / ST7CL / NM1 over Wi-Fi | |
| Already on BLE, want wider coverage later | Upgrade to LoRa hub | Keep BLE sensors; add LoRa nodes as needed | |
Model Recommendations
LoRa Hubs (Large Area)
- Best for: warehouses, multi-store restaurants, multi-floor sites, basements, thick walls.
- Why: wide coverage, higher capacity, and compatibility with all MOCREO sensors (LoRa + BLE).
- Models: H5Pro / H6Pro
BLE Hubs (Small Area)
- Best for: kitchens, racks, single rooms and short-range spots.
- Why: lightweight deployment and great value for single-zone coverage.
- Models: H5Lite / H3 / H4
Standalone Devices (No Hub required)
- Best for: single-point monitoring or temporary/flexible installs.
- Examples: NS1 / ST7CL / NM1
Example Bundles
- Kitchen/Garage — LoRa or BLE
- Best: LoRa hub + ST5 (temp) + ST6 (temp/RH) + SW2 (water leak)
- Essential: BLE hub + ST5
- Refrigerator / Cold storage
- Essential: LoRa or BLE hub (based on coverage) + ST5 (temp)
- Warehouse, multi-zone — LoRa hub + multi-point temp/RH, door, and leak sensors (optimal coverage; easy to expand)
Pre-Purchase Checklist
- Coverage: multi-floor / heavy walls / large area? → LoRa. Otherwise → BLE or Standalone.
- Compatibility: check the Compatibility section on the product page (App/System and Hub/Sensor match).
- Deployment: Ethernet and power available?
- Growth: planning more nodes or longer distance later? Start with a LoRa hub.
FAQ
Add more BLE Hub to increase the signal coverage.
Or upgrade to a LoRa hub (H5Pro/H6Pro). It works with your existing BLE sensors and lets you add LoRa nodes.
New deployments should use the MOCREO Smart App. Some current devices are Sensor-App-only—always check Compatibility. Both apps remain actively supported.
