iMetos weather station
Description
iMetos weather stations are designed for tough, long-term outdoor use and are fully modular. The power supply is solar, and a wide selection of different sensors is available. The sensors can be connected either directly to the station, or via sensor bus or radio nodes to the base unit.
iMetos stations are very sophisticated and robust. As early as 2004, the manufacturer of iMetos weather stations was one of the first to introduce automated data transfer to a data cloud, setting today's standard. Some of the iMetos stations, which were installed right after the market launch by MMM tech support in 2004, are still running today without interruptions or failures.
iMetos stations send the recorded measured values via the conventional mobile phone network and can therefore be used worldwide without any problems. The data is sent to the multi-secured data cloud (server www.ng.fieldclimate.com with daily backup) at adjustable intervals.
The data can be accessed via computer, tablet or smartphone. Each user account can be assigned the status of master or read-only access.

In addition to data collection and display, iMetos weather stations offer additional functions:
Warning function:
The warning function is available by default at no additional cost. iMetos stations can automatically send warnings via SMS to up to 8 different cell phone numbers based on adjustable thresholds for the measured values. This function can also be used in parallel for several sensors.
Calculation of temperature and rainfall totals
A calculator for temperature and rainfall totals is standard and available free of charge.
Prediction models for plant diseases and pests:
Numerous forecast models for a wide range of plant diseases are available as an additional service. The forecast models are paid subscriptions; they are made available alongside the free services on www.ng.fieldclimate.com after booking.
Site specific weather forecast
The highly accurate, site-specific weather forecast is provided alongside the free services at www.ng.fieldclimate.com and when booked, provides a 7-day weather forecast tailored to one's location with hourly resolution.
