GS601 - LoRaWAN Vape Detector
The GS601 is a LoRaWAN® vape detector designed to identify vaping and smoking events and send alerts. Equipped with a suite of powerful embedded sensors, the GS601 simultaneously measures temperature, humidity, TVOC, and PM parameters. The device features a unique vape index sensor using laser scattering technology to detect vaping and smoking events in real-time, making it ideal for deployment in schools, restrooms, and other sensitive areas where smoking and vaping need to be monitored.

Thinger.io Integration
The GS601 integrates seamlessly with Thinger.io through LoRaWAN®, enabling real-time monitoring of vaping events, air quality parameters, and environmental conditions.
Requirements
A LoRaWAN server is required to communicate the GS601 into Thinger.io, some options are:
Alongside, the corresponding plugin for the selected LoRaWAN server needs to be installed in your Thinger.io instance.
Get Started
Installation
Look for the plugin in the Thinger.io Plugin Store and install it in your Thinger.io instance. Once the plugin is installed a new Product will be created for this device.
Configuration
The Product is already preconfigured, check that the auto provision prefix matches the one selected in your LoRaWAN server plugin in Thinger.io, or change it to your desire.
Configure the device using NFC via mobile app or LoRaWAN downlinks. Set appropriate threshold alarms for vape index, TVOC, and PM parameters based on your monitoring requirements.
Usage
Start sending uplinks for autoprovisioning devices and buckets. This product also provides a predefined dashboard and downlinks.
