Sensor data interpreter/converter methods and apparatus interpreting and converting sensor data transmitted by a plurality of sensors in a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) (in the up-link) in a unidirectional network and, in a bidirectional network, also converting human readable formatted information into sensor compatible machine-readable byte array data (in the downlink) are described. The interpreter/converter methods and apparatus utilize blueprints that fully define the sensors (nodes) connected in the LPWAN. The blueprints include components providing information of every possible input and output an associated sensor has. The blueprints determine how the interpreter/converter functions when converting sensor data to human readable formatted information in the uplink, and when converting human readable formatted information to sensor compatible machine-readable byte array data in the downlink. The blueprints are structured to optimize the efficiency of transmissions in limited data bandwidth LPWANs.

The invention relates to a system for determining and/or monitoring a state variable of a measurement object comprising an analysis sensor, a control apparatus and a read-out apparatus. The analysis sensor is configured to be introducible into the measurement object for remaining within the same, to be sensitive to an ion type and to generate measurement data based on a concentration of the ion type in the measurement object. The control apparatus controls the analysis sensor with respect to the generation of the measurement data. The read-out apparatus reads the measurement data out of the analysis sensor. Further, the invention relates to a respective method.
