Temperature data-logger ML-IoT/W

WiFiwithout displayrain gauge

The ML-IoT/W data logger turns a TB7 tipping bucket rain gauge into an IoT precipitation monitor. The low-cost and low-power device including its antenna fits easily inside the TB7 enclosure. The ML-IoT/W collects the pulses from the rain gauge, accumulates them over a user-defined interval and sends periodic rain reports via WiFi connection. With its temperature sensor the ML-IoT/W provides a fair estimate of ambient temperature useful to determine trends, diurnal cycles, etc. The use of WiFi data transmission keeps operational costs under control: no SIM card needed, no recurrent fees, no data volume-related fees. Whenever and wherever a WiFi hotspot is available within a 100 m reach (direct line of sight), the ML-IoT/W is a cost effective option to transmit data. Data communication settings, router credentials, receiver IP/FTP address and other configuration can be entered via a browser on a mobile device (no app needs to be downloaded). In order to inform the user of its performance, the ML-IoT/W can send a summary email through an SMTP server to two recipients every day. Deployment of a TB7 equipped with an ML-IoT/W is easy. The rain gauge is simply installed on a solid, levelled basis (e.g. a concrete pad) or mounted on a 2” thread ed pole. Due to the black colour of the TB7 and no visible electronics or antennas, the rain gauges are unobtrusive and do not attract the attention of vandals.
