Which Hexanode do I have?

There are two generations of SiteHive Hexanode devices in use on sites: current devices (which we call Next-gen) and original devices. They have different form factors but are installed and set up the same way on site.

SiteHive Hexanode devices (Next-gen)

These are the current set of SiteHive Hexanode devices deployed to sites.

Four of the five Next-gen SiteHive Hexanode devices side by side: Noise+Dust (tall hexagonal body with a spherical black foam windshield on top), Noise (spherical windshield on a shorter body), Dust (flat-topped hexagonal column with no windshield), and Vibration (compact hexagonal puck that mounts flat against a surface).

There are five types of devices:

  • Noise+Dust: combines the Noise and Dust capabilities in one device.

  • Noise, for noise monitoring.

  • Dust, for dust monitoring.

  • Vibration, for vibration monitoring.

  • Weather, for weather monitoring: wind, rainfall, temperature and humidity.

Original devices

Sites may have a combination of current (Next-gen) devices and original devices.

The three original SiteHive Hexanode devices: the compact hexagonal Vibration puck, and the column-style Noise and Noise+Dust devices with large round weather caps on top.

There are three types of original devices:

  • Noise+Dust

  • Noise

  • Vibration
