Overview: The Simple Rainfall Station combines a tipping-bucket rain gauge with IoT communication technology for effective rainfall monitoring and early warning. It addresses the shortcomings of traditional systems—high power consumption, strict site requirements, complex installation, and high costs—by offering 24/7 automated rainfall monitoring and timely data transmission.
This simple rainfall station uses the traditional tipping-bucket approach for rainfall detection, where accumulated rain triggers a mechanical tilting bucket. Each tilt represents a known volume of precipitation. IoT communication modules report data and alerts in real time while maintaining robust, fallback mesh connectivity. The voice alert capability allows multi-recipient notifications even with a single monitoring point.
◀◀ Key Selling Points ▶▶
Reliable Rainfall Data Collection: Utilizes a tipping-bucket mechanism for accurate, real-time measurement of rainfall.
IoT Connectivity: Supports 4G public network communication and LoRaMesh for local mesh networking. Capable of reporting rainfall and operational status data to multiple platform centers.
Robust Data Reporting & Integrity: Compatible with the SL-651-2014 hydrological data communication protocol. Includes up to 1-month backlog of hourly data retransmission for missed transmissions.
Customizable Alerts: Supports setting up to 5 time-periods and 2+ alarm levels, providing “prepare to evacuate” and “immediate evacuation” warnings. Integrated intelligent voice alert module enables “one-point monitoring, one-point response, multi-house voice alert.”
