Sensors as a service

Stick-on sensors.
Sent-to-you answers.

The freezer hinting it's about to quit. The lift station one stuck float from a spill. The Saturday rush you can't quite prove. Whatever your operation runs on, Synse watches it around the clock and hands you the call to make, with dollars attached.

What data are you looking for?

Describe it in plain language. Synse's AI asks the couple of questions that matter, designs the right kit (which pods, which heads, where they go), and shows your exact monthly price on the spot, hardware included. A human confirms every order within two business days, and no one calls unless you ask.

How Synse works

1
Describe the problem
Tell Synse what you need to know, in plain language. No part numbers, no spec sheets.
2
Get your kit
Synse designs a kit for your situation: which pods, which heads, where they go, and what it costs. It arrives pre-paired in a labeled box, with a how-to video for every sensor. You never buy the hardware; the monthly price includes it.
3
Hear what matters
Synse's AI reads every reading so you don't have to: an alert the moment something goes wrong, and a short weekly brief with recommendations and the estimated cost of each.

Catch failures early.
Count what you never could.

Some signals are warnings. Some are opportunities. Synse makes sure you hear both.

Not everything is broken.
Some things are just unknown.
How many people walk in on a rainy Tuesday. How fast the creek is rising. Synse replaces guessing with numbers: it counts, it never identifies anyone.

Not another dashboard.

A closed, secure AI reads your sensors around the clock, on your data only, inside Synse's own system. It alerts you the moment something is wrong, then keeps reading for the patterns you'd never have time to find: changes that save money or time, with the dollars attached.

✓An alert the moment something goes wrong
✓A one-page weekly brief with clear recommendations
✓Ideas you didn't ask for: service pump 2 this month, shift the compressor off-peak, staff up after 11 am
✓Records the health inspector, the insurer, and the council accept, instead of recollections
✓Works with the equipment you already own. No wiring, no IT

What people use Synse for.

Setup is the easy part.

Every kit ships pre-paired and labeled for the spot it goes. Sticking it up is the install. And you are not doing it alone.

Self-install, in minutes

Magnets and straps, no wiring, no electrician, no IT. Every sensor comes with a short how-to video for exactly where yours goes.

Installing a Synse pod on a pole

It can't touch your controls. On purpose.

Synse watches your equipment without ever connecting to it. Not to your controls, not to your network, not to anything that moves.

✓Sense-only. It reads temperatures, levels, runs, and counts. It controls nothing.
✓Outbound-only. Data leaves over its own cellular. No inbound connections, no open ports, no remote access.
✓Off your network. No Wi-Fi, no passwords, no tie-in to your systems. Nothing we ship adds a way into anything you own.
✓Closed AI. The intelligence that reads your data runs inside Synse's own system. Your readings are never shared or sold.
Why it matters

Connected equipment keeps making the news for the wrong reasons: exposed controllers, default passwords, vendors with remote access. Synse sidesteps the whole category. It can tell you a pump is wearing out or a freezer is drifting. It cannot touch either one, and neither can anyone who finds it.

No two kits are the same.

Every kit is designed for the place it's going. Here's the kind of week six kits in the field see.

No wiring. No IT. No lock-in.

The Hub ships with its own cellular connection and is online within two minutes of being plugged in. Pods mount with magnets and run 2+ years on their internal battery. One monthly price includes the equipment, batteries, repairs, and upgrades. Cancel anytime: a prepaid return label comes with the kit, and the $99 deposit returns with the equipment. If setup has you stuck, a human joins a video call for free.

Common questions

What is Synse?+

Battery pods you stick on things, heads that turn them into different sensors, one hub with its own cellular, and a service that turns the readings into alerts and a one-page weekly brief with recommendations. You describe the problem; Synse designs the kit.

Is this an IoT platform?+

It's a box of sensors and a text message. So: no.

What does it cost?+

One monthly price with all the hardware included. Describe your problem above, answer a question or two, and your exact number appears before you pay anything. Setup help is free, including a live video call with our support team if you want one.

What does the AI actually do?+

It reads every reading from your kit, around the clock, inside Synse's closed system. It alerts you the moment something crosses a line, learns what normal looks like for your operation, and flags changes worth money or time: a compressor drawing more than it used to, a door open longer than it should be, a quieter Saturday than your staffing assumes. Your data stays yours; it is never shared or sold.

Can someone hack it and reach my equipment?+

No, and not because of a policy. Synse only senses, and data only flows out. It never connects to your equipment, your controllers, or your network, so there is no path from Synse to anything that moves.

What's a head?+

A yellow-collared cap that clicks onto a pod's top and changes what it measures: temperature probes, leak rope, radar level, current clamps, contacts and pulses, Modbus, or vision. Swap it in seconds; every wired head is supervised, so a cut or unplugged lead reports itself instead of going silent.

Can it count people or track what customers do?+

It counts; it never identifies. The Vision head works everything out on the device and sends only numbers, over a radio physically too small to carry video even if someone wanted it to.

Do I buy the hardware?+

No. Synse owns every pod, head, and hub. One monthly price includes the equipment, batteries, repairs, and upgrades. Cancel anytime; a prepaid return label comes with the kit.

What does the $99 deposit get me?+

It reserves your kit and locks pilot pricing. Fully refundable any time before the kit ships. After shipping it becomes the equipment deposit, returned when the gear comes back.

How is it powered?+

One sealed USB-C on everything. Pods run 2+ years standalone, forever on any wall adapter, or off-grid on the Solar Charger. The Hub plugs into any outlet; where there's no outlet for miles, Solar XL (a 20 W panel with about a week of no-sun battery) powers the Hub and a Pod on a pole.

Does it work with old equipment?+

Especially old equipment. Clamps go around existing wires, contacts land on floats and relays that are already there, and the Bridge head reads the 4–20 mA and Modbus instruments you already own. Nothing is cut, rewired, or replaced.

Do I need IT help to install it?+

No. The hub carries its own cellular (no Wi-Fi, no passwords, no port openings) and pods arrive pre-paired and labeled for each spot, with a short how-to video for every sensor. If you want a hand, our support team joins a free video call and walks through setup with you.

Will it ever tell me it can't help?+

Yes, and on purpose. Pressurized propane tanks, vehicles on the road, code-required safety alarms, anything that needs actual video: the designer will tell you no, tell you why, and offer the nearest thing it can honestly do.

Know before it costs you.

Reserve your kit for a refundable $99 deposit. Before anything ships, we confirm your exact price with you, and you can walk away then for a full refund. One monthly price, hardware included, cancel anytime.
