This rainfall gauge sensor for agriculture has filaments to prevent birds from landing on it and destroying it. It has a capacity of up to 214 cm2, is highly robust and collects precision data.
Connect the Rainfall Gauge Sensor to the Irrigation Controller
The controller receives information from the rainfall gauge sensor to pause the running irrigation schedule, when it is raining.
With the Maher App, you can also view all the data recorded by the rainfall gauge on your mobile, PC or tablet. It shows the amount of precipitation that has fallen, even if you’re not on the farm. The irrigation schedule can also be paused manually from your mobile.
