Thingsee POWERCOVER
Power supply accessory for extending the battery life of selected Thingsee sensors
Overview
Thingsee POWERCOVER (TSPC01) is a power supply accessory for selected Thingsee sensor devices. It extends battery life up to 10 years using 3× AA lithium batteries, making it ideal for installations in hard-to-reach locations such as high ceilings where battery changes are impractical.
POWERCOVER also supports micro-USB power for continuous, unlimited operation. When USB power is available, the device automatically prefers it over battery power and switches back to batteries if USB power is lost, providing extra reliability during power outages.
