Meteo and environment
Among the peripheral modules supported by IoT.Cafe are sensors for
- Temperature
- Atmospheric pressure
- Humidity
- Air quality
- Wind velocity
- Wind orientation
- Soil moisture
This makes IoT.Cafe a convenient platform for creating weater stations.
And combined with some other features of the system, things can get quite nifty
- GPRS connectivity - allows for internet connection practically wherever the station is located. This means it's also accessible and controllable remotely from anywhere
- Data accumulation - see not only current readings, but keep record on previously received data
- Histogram and statistics - visualize data and see how it has changed through time, get statistical information on it
- Web API call - pass data to third party web services like meteo services
In addition to that, an IoT.Cafe meteo station can be also a central controlling device, which controls irrigation through valves and dispatches precise amounts of fertilizer if needed - either automatically or upon user request.
