Cable Probes

Cable Probes are a family of miniature environment sensors measuring ambient temperature, humidity, and light. The family also includes an IR receiver/transmitter. Cable Probes are primarily intended for use with our Tibbo Project System (TPS) devices. Each Cable Probe has a Tibbit counterpart and you can think of CPs as "Tibbits on a cable." Of course, you can wire the Cable Probes to other hardware as well.

At the moment, Tibbo offers four Cable Probe types:

• Ambient temperature sensor (CP#01): This Cable Probe is functionally compatible with Tibbit #29, whose accuracy is affected by the internal heat generated by the host TPS device. A Cable Probe is immune to such negative influence by virtue of being outside of the TPS.
• Ambient temperature and humidity sensor (CP#02): This Cable Probe is functionally compatible with Tibbit #30. Again, the accuracy of this Tibbit is affected by the internal heat generated by the host TPS device. A Cable Probe is immune to such negative influence by virtue of being outside of the TPS.
• Ambient light sensor (CP#03): This Cable Probe is functionally compatible with Tibbit #28. This Cable Probe has an advantage over the Tibbit in that, unlike its Tibbit counterpart, it can easily be pointed in the desired direction.
• IR receiver/transmitter (BP#04): This Cable Probe is functionally compatible with Tibbit #27. Again, the advantage of this Cable Probe over the Tibbit implementation is that the CP can easily be pointed in the desired direction.

Cable Probes are inconspicuous and can be mounted on walls and ceilings without attracting unwanted attention. The Cable Probes come with a 100cm cable and are available with and without mounting ears. To simplify the installation on smooth and flat surfaces, a double-sided sticker is included with each Cable Probe.
