Introducing the New HOBOnet Field Monitoring System
In this webinar you will learn a whole new way to collect and view data for crop management, research, and greenhouse operations, with the new HOBOnet Field Monitoring System.
Watch NowA Flexible, Scalable, Remote Wireless Monitoring System
Build a HOBOnet system to compare conditions across farm fields, research plots, restoration areas, and other monitoring sites. Compatible wireless sensors send measurements to a central HOBO station, which uploads data to LI-COR Cloud for remote access.
For outdoor deployments, choose a MicroRX Station for HOBOnet (RX2106), or an RX3000 station with a HOBOnet Manager. Select sensors and radio frequencies appropriate for your region, and plan power, wireless coverage, cellular coverage, and an active RX data plan before installation.
Field-Proven, Scalable, & Deployment-Ready
How to Set Up A Remote Sensor Network
Step 1
Mount the RX station, a wireless receiver, and any sensors
Step 2
Install and link any RX wireless sensors
Step 3
Configure sensors, logging rates, alarms, and more via LI-COR Cloud
Step 4
View your data and receive alerts on your computer or mobile device
Key Advantages of a HOBOnet Wireless Sensor Network
- Connect up to 50 wireless sensors through a compatible RX station.
- Combine wireless sensors and supported station inputs to match your monitoring requirements.
- Use a mesh network to relay sensor data to the station, with coverage planned for the site's terrain, vegetation, and structures.
- Review measurements remotely through LI-COR Cloud dashboards.
- Configure measurement thresholds and receive notifications when those thresholds are crossed.
How Does a Wireless Sensor Network Help Growers?
- Compare soil moisture and local weather to guide irrigation timing.
- Set temperature thresholds and receive alerts that support frost-response decisions.
- Use compatible measurements with crop disease and insect-pest models, including supported NEWA configurations.
- Review field conditions over time to inform crop-management practices.
Environmental Monitoring Beyond the Farm
HOBOnet also supports environmental monitoring and field research. Place compatible sensors across a study area to compare soil conditions, local weather, or water levels over time. Shared access in LI-COR Cloud helps teams review measurements from dispersed sites and document changes during seasonal studies or restoration monitoring.
Choose sensors to match your research question, then plan the station location, wireless coverage, power, and cellular connection for the site.
