Get Started with SenseCAP Indicator
Overview
SenseCAP Indicator is a 4-inch touch screen driven by ESP32-S3 and RP2040 Dual-MCU and supports Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/LoRa communication.
The device comes two Grove interfaces, which supports ADC and I2C transmission protocols, and two USB Type-C ports with GPIO expantion pins inside, so user can easily expand external accessories via USB port.
SenseCAP Indicator is a fully open source powerful IoT development platform for developers. One-stop ODM Fusion service is also available for customization and quick scale-up.
Please do not flash the Meshtastic firmware on indicators that do not support Meshtastic. This may cause hardware damage. If you want to purchase the device for Meshtastic, please buy this Sensecap Indicator for Meshtastic.
Features
- Dual MCUs and Rich GPIOs Equipped with powerful ESP32S3 and RP2040 dual MCUs and over 400 Grove-compatible GPIOs for flexible expansion options.
- Real-time Air Quality Monitoring Built-in tVOC and CO2 sensors, and an external Grove AHT20 TH sensor for more precise temperature and humidity readings.

Grove
There are two Grove interfaces for connecting Grove modules, providing more possibilities for developers.
Grove is a modular, standardized connector prototyping system and a strong open source hardware ecosystem. Click here to learn more
LoRa®
The embedded Semtech SX1262 LoRa® module enables you to build the LoRa® application and connect your local LoRa sensors to the Cloud via Wi-Fi. For example, you could build a LoRa hub device to connect your LoRa sensors to your smart home ecosystem to implement Matter over Wi-Fi. In this way, the LoRa devices could be connected to the Matter ecosystem via Wi-Fi, without the need to buy a new Matter-compatible device.
