The HOBOnet Analog Mote can accept up to four analog inputs from third-party sensors and
supports excitation power, scaling, and sampling measurements. It is designed to work with the
HOBOnet (HOBO® RX) Wireless Sensor Network in which data is transmitted wirelessly from the
sensor mote across the network to the station and then uploaded to LI-COR Cloud™. With LI-
COR Cloud, you can monitor sensor readings, view graphs, set up alarms, download data, and
more.
