Onset Computer Corporation, the “HOBO” data logger company, has unveiled the US$799 HOBO Remote Monitoring System, a research-grade weather station that provides growers, researchers and others with instant access to data anywhere, anytime via the Internet.
The new system combines research-grade weather station hardware with built-in GSM cellular communications and HOBOlink, a new web-enabled software platform. HOBOlink allows users to access current and historical data on their Macs, set alarm notifications and relay activations, and manage and control HOBO Remote Monitoring systems without having to go into the field.
The HOBO Remote Monitoring System’s alarm capabilities enable users to set up alarm conditions for any connected sensors and receive automatic notification via email or cell phone text messages when monitored conditions exceed user-defined limits. The system also includes a relay that can be activated by alarm conditions for automatically turning equipment on and off, such as irrigation controllers.
