The LORD MicroStrain® ENV-Link™ -Mini -LXRS® is
an environmental monitoring node designed to continuously acquire
sensor data in an outdoor or harsh setting. The ENV-Link -Mini
accommodates a relative humidity/temperature (RHT) sensor, and 3
additional 0-5 VDC sensors. Possibilities include pyranometer (light
measurement), soil moisture, leaf wetness, rain gauge, wind speed and
direction, water level, barometric pressure, conductivity, strain
gauges, thermocouples, etc. Multiple units may be deployed up to 2
kilometers from the wireless gateway, and data is either stored locally
or forwarded to a cloud server, providing analysis tools, scripting,
alerts, and downloads. Long-life batteries allow long term untended data
acquisition.
