WeatherHub

WeatherHub is a comprehensive home monitoring application that connects to a range of wireless sensors. This system allows users to remotely track environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and water leaks within their property. Users want WeatherHub to receive instant alerts on their smartphone, enabling them to prevent potential damage and maintain optimal conditions in their home, greenhouse, or aquarium from anywhere.

Real-Time Temperature and Humidity Tracking

The WeatherHub system provides continuous monitoring of ambient conditions. Users start by placing a wireless sensor, such as the temperature/humidity model, in a desired location like a greenhouse. The sensor automatically transmits data to the WeatherHub gateway connected to the home router. Through the WeatherHub app, users view live readings and historical graphs. They can configure custom high and low alarm thresholds; if these are breached, the WeatherHub app sends an immediate push notification, allowing for a quick response to protect sensitive environments.

Leak Detection and Water Alert System

This function is critical for preventing water damage. A user places the WeatherHub water detector sensor on the floor near appliances like a washing machine or under a sink. The sensor actively monitors for the presence of water. Upon detecting moisture, it instantly sends an alert to the user's smartphone via the WeatherHub application. This immediate notification enables the user to address the leak before it causes significant property damage, making the WeatherHub system a proactive safeguard.

Precipitation Monitoring with a Wireless Rain Gauge

For gardeners and homeowners, tracking rainfall is essential. The user installs the WeatherHub rain gauge in an open outdoor area. It automatically measures and records every precipitation event. This data is sent to the gateway and then seamlessly integrated into the WeatherHub app. Users can review daily, weekly, or monthly rainfall totals directly on their phones. This information provided by WeatherHub helps in efficient garden watering planning and provides valuable local weather data.

Remote Aquarium and Terrarium Climate Control

Maintaining a stable environment for pets or plants is simplified. A user employs a WeatherHub sensor with an external cable probe, submerging or placing the probe in the water or substrate of an aquarium or terrarium. The sensor feeds temperature readings back to the WeatherHub system. The user can set precise upper and lower limits for temperature. If the water gets too warm or too cold, the WeatherHub app issues an alert, enabling timely adjustments to heaters or filters to ensure a healthy habitat.

Extended Data History and Export Functionality

For users requiring deeper analysis, a specific WeatherHub sensor offers enhanced data capabilities. This specialized device not only monitors conditions but also stores recorded data for up to 18 months in the associated SensorCloud, far beyond the standard 90-day history. Within the WeatherHub app interface, users can select a date range and export the corresponding data logs into a file. This feature of WeatherHub is designed for detailed review or for further processing in other applications.

System Setup and Sensor Registration Process

Initiating the WeatherHub system is a streamlined process. After downloading the free WeatherHub app, the user connects the gateway to power and their internet router. The next step involves inserting batteries into the chosen wireless sensors. The user then opens the WeatherHub application and uses its scanning feature to register each sensor by capturing its unique QR code. Once completed, the dashboard populates, and the system is fully operational, requiring no personal registration or ongoing fees for the alert service.

Customizable Alerts and User Interface

The WeatherHub application provides a user-defined monitoring experience. After a sensor is registered, the user can personalize it within the app by assigning a specific name and location. The core action involves navigating to the alert settings for that sensor to set custom minimum and maximum values for triggers. The intuitive WeatherHub interface allows for easy management of all connected devices, ensuring that the alerts received are relevant and specific to each user’s unique home environment.
