Nexmosphere controllers
Pick-up, push-button, touch-button and LED units from Nexmosphere work through the generic serial preset.
Sensors
Sensor-triggered signage that reacts to the room.
Someone picks up a product and the screen shows its details. A traveler walks past a motion sensor and the screen changes page. A badge touches an NFC reader, or a building system posts a message. Wallboard players read each of these as a sensor event carrying an ID, an event name and a value, and the content decides what happens next, so the same editor your team uses for everyday signage also runs the interactive installations.
How it works
How a sensor project comes together.
Check the license
Sensor events need an Interactive license, formerly called Premium, on the device. Other licenses ignore them.
Pick a preset
In the device’s sensor config, choose Nexmosphere, UDP, HTTP, HTTP with basic auth, GPIO or a custom config.
See what it sends
Turn on the device console. Use the sensor and note the ID, event and value it prints.
Map events to actions
Add sensor events that match those values. Each one can jump to a page, change a widget or send an output.
Sensor features.
Network inputs
An HTTP server on port 8181 and a UDP server let other systems post events. MQTT subscribes to a broker topic.
Readers and scanners
A keyboard emulator turns barcode and NFC readers into events. ProDVX NFC and Samsung kiosk scanners have guides.
GPIO and M5 units
BrightSign GPIO pins and M5 units, like the PIR motion sensor, send simple events.
Outputs as well as inputs
Content can send output events to relays and printers, such as the Nexmosphere NEO 540 power and relay control.
Rules for busy content
Match values with regular expressions. Page events are checked before content-wide ones, and Final stops the rest.

Tell us what should trigger the screen.
Name the sensor and the player you plan to use. In the demo we’ll check the preset and port together, because a wrong port is the most common reason a sensor stays silent, and our support team can help when you wire up the real hardware.
