Who knows the power of a connected farm? Metos Knows.
µMETOS CLIMA
MicroFARM is a cost-effective option for monitoring crops, disease risk, and pinpointing spray windows.
LPWAN DATA LOGGER FOR REMOTE (LoRaWAN®) AND URBAN (NBIoT) AREAS
μMETOS CLIMA is a LPWAN weather station that connects to and operates on any existing LoRaWAN® or NBIoT network, if present at your location. This is a new generation of cost-effective weather stations for monitoring crops, disease risk and pinpointing spray.
Get quick access to highly reliable information for your farm. μMETOS CLIMA monitors basic climate parameters (rain and temperature, humidity, frost, leaf wettness, solar radiation, wind speed), soil characteristics (soil moisture and soil temperature), as well as water level, water EC and pH.
μMETOS CLIMA can handle a variety of sensors. Data is permanently measured in 5-minute intervals and sent every 15 minutes to the server. All the data is synchronized with FieldClimate platform giving you easy access through your mobile and desktop devices. With μMETOS CLIMA monitoring your fields, you get key information when you need it most so you can troubleshoot issues before problems arise.
KEY BENEFITS
- Monitoring crop evapotranspiration lets you integrate more effective irrigation planning into your operation to save you water, money and time.
- Access to crop/disease models helps to improve plant protection and prevent crop losses.
- Monitoring climatic conditions is important to help prevent animal health issues that can occur in barns without standard climate conditions.
- Save time and increase your operation’s efficiency by incorporating work planning on the farm.

Measurement, logging and transmission intervals can be customized to fit the client’s needs.
Measurement interval: occurrence, when the station measures the attached sensors Logging interval: occurrence, when the station calculates the minimum, maximum and average values of all measurements which happened in this logging interval Transmission interval: occurrence, when the station transmits the stored data from the logging interval to the FieldClimate.
Logging and transmission intervals for LoRaWAN communication-based products are the same.
