How is a small automatic weather station defined?

Small Automatic Weather Station

Definition: Small weather station is a compact, easy to install and carry intelligent weather monitoring device.

Application Scenario: These weather stations can be widely deployed in education and research sites, orchards, forests, livestock areas, farmlands, and breeding facilities.

The Small Automatic Weather Station is a device capable of monitoring a number of environmental parameters including light, PM2.5, PM10, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, rainfall, precipitation conditions, evaporation and soil moisture. It benefits from advanced data acquisition and remote transmission technologies, allowing users to view and analyse meteorological data and its historical trends in real time via multiple platforms such as apps and web pages.

Fengtu Technology can also provide customised solutions according to the specific needs of customers by adding auxiliary functions such as extended weather projects, large LED screen display and video surveillance.

The power system can be either solar or mains powered. Where it is difficult or costly to pull wires, a solar system can be used, which consists of solar panels, batteries and a management system to ensure continuous power. Where it is less expensive and easy to access the power supply, the mains power can be used directly, which is both cost-effective and meets the need for additional power.

A diverse range of mounting bases are available, including robust triangular brackets for uneven ground and strong ground spike flanges for concrete or pre-set floor installations. Together, these options ensure the stability and mobility of the equipment in a variety of scenarios.

The Weather Station integrates a variety of data transmission technologies such as RS485, Ethernet, WIFI, LORA and 4G to ensure flexible communication connectivity.

When using RS485, an additional gateway device is required to complete the upload of data to the cloud.

Ethernet, on the other hand, connects directly to the router via a network cable for stable network access.

WIFI connections are popular and convenient, but may require users to perform some basic network setup.

LORA offers a low-cost solution that requires no wiring, but deployment requires consideration of distance between devices and environmental factors.

The 4G option, on the other hand, provides users with a convenient means of communication with simple installation and plug-and-play features, although it will incur some traffic costs.
