Select the measurements and their recording periods before sizing the logger, radio and charging system.
Which weather readings does the farm need?
| Choice | What to compare | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Rainfall only | Gauge output, total period and reset behaviour | Clean the collection path and check freezing conditions where relevant |
| Wind and local climate | Instrument exposure, units and update interval | Avoid positions dominated by buildings or obstructions |
| Weather with soil readings | Compatible inputs and named soil positions | Include all sensor loads and maintenance tasks in the station plan |
