The SensorTag Story
The next-generation IoT demo kit that combines sensor data with cloud connectivity
IoT made easy, with a secure connection to the cloud
Use the SensorTag app (available for iOS and Android) to get your data connected to the cloud in minutes
One kit, multiple wireless connectivity technologies
The SensorTag comes in three variants, each offering unique features:
- CC2650STK – Multi standard supporting Bluetooth low energy, 6LoWPAN, and ZigBee
- CC1350STK – Bluetooth low energy and Sub-1 GHz long range wireless
- CC3200STK-WIFIMK – Low-power wireless SimpleLink Wi-Fi
Low-power or battery-less operation
All MCUs featured in our SensorTag kits require little to no battery power, which enables designs that last months to years

Multi-standard SensorTag
(Bluetooth low energy, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN)
The multi-standard SensorTag kit, based on the SimpleLink ultra-low power CC2650 wireless MCU, supports development for Bluetooth low energy, 6LoWPAN and ZigBee. This SensorTag has a unique feature that allows developers to change between different 2.4 GHz technologies by simply loading new software images directly from the SensorTag app over-the-air.
Dual-band SensorTag kit
The Bluetooth low energy and Sub-1 GHz long range wireless SensorTag kit, is based on the SimpleLink dual band CC1350 wireless MCU. The CC1350 SensorTag allows direct connection via Bluetooth to smartphones and tablets, combined with several Km range for the Sub-1 GHz radio interface.
Wi-Fi SensorTag
The Wi-Fi SensorTag kit is designed for use with any Wi-Fi network (no gateway needed). Leveraging the low-power SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 wireless MCU, the Wi-Fi SensorTag is optimized for battery operated applications and can run for months on a pair of AAA batteries.
