Silvanet Gen4 Pro wildfire sensor
Dryad's solar-powered Gen4 Pro sensors combine VOC, carbon monoxide, PM2.5, temperature, humidity, and air-pressure sensing with embedded AI. This node demonstrates the built-in UHF direct-to-satellite option. The satellite itself is an external relay, not a Dryad product.
