WIFI Rain Level Sensor
SKU: RANWIE01
Version: 1.1.0
Product Description
This rain sensor measures the amount of rain at its location in milliliters using a tipping bucket
mechanism and transmits the quantity within a 15-minute interval with an accuracy of 0.5 mm of water
column, along with the temperature. In the case of heavy rain exceeding 15 l/h, a heavy rain alarm is
triggered promptly. Both the heavy rain threshold and the measurement interval are configurable.
The device is entirely open-source, and both hardware and firmware can be downloaded from
https://github.com/aqua-scope/lorain.
The device communicates via WLAN, either to the Aqua-Scope Cloud and thus to an app on your mobile
phone or PC, or through MQTT to a server of your choice, or as a JSON object to a Smart Home Gateway.
The device is powered by two AAA batteries. The provided VARTA batteries allow for an approximate
runtime of about 2 years. A low battery level is reported wirelessly, allowing for battery replacement
before the device shuts down.
