The HOBOnet Leaf Wetness Sensor provides accurate leaf wetness data for a variety of growing and research applications.
The sensor is ready to use and does not require any painting or coating. It uses a capacitive grid that is less sensitive to surface residues than resistive grid-based sensors, and comes preconditioned for long-term stability and consistent measurements between sensors. HOBOnet Wireless Sensors communicate data directly to the HOBO RX3000, or the HOBO MicroRX station, or pass data through other wireless sensors back to the central station.
Sensors are easily linked to the HOBOnet network, and data can be accessed through HOBOlink, Onset's innovative cloud-based software platform.
Sensor Features
- Does not require any painting or coating
- Preconditioned for consistent measurements
- 3-metre cable and mounting bracket included.
Wireless Features
- 868 MHz wireless mesh self-healing technology
- 450 to 600 metre (1,500 to 2,000 feet) wireless range and up to five hops
- Up to 50 wireless sensors or 336 data channels per HOBO RX station
- Simple button-push to join the HOBOnet wireless network
- Onboard memory to ensure no data loss
- Powered by rechargeable AA batteries and built-in solar panel.
Note: A complete HOBOnet system requires at least one HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station, a HOBOnet Wireless Manager, and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor, OR one HOBO MicroRX Station (which has an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager) and a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor. HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters can be added to extend the range.
