Hardware Overview
Application
Seeed Studio SenseCAP S500 V2 5-in-1 Compact Weather Sensor is designed for smart agriculture, smart city infrastructure, power transmission monitoring, renewable energy projects, and transportation & traffic management. It delivers precise microclimate data to support accurate forecasting and sustainable development.
Localized weather data, known as microclimates, is increasingly important for precision weather forecasting. As data collection becomes more granular and grid-based, compact weather sensors like the SenseCAP S500 V2 are in high demand for IoT-enabled climate monitoring.
The SenseCAP ONE S500 V2 5-in-1 Compact Weather Sensor enables collection and monitoring of environmental parameters essential for smart city projects and other IoT applications. With IP66 certification, it withstands harsh outdoor environments. Its ultrasonic wind speed and direction sensors replace traditional mechanical anemometers, reducing moving parts, minimizing maintenance, and ensuring long-term precision.
SenseCAP ONE Series integrates multiple sensors into a compact device, monitoring up to 10 parameters: air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, light intensity, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, PM2.5, PM10, and CO2.
The SenseCAP ONE series supports RS485 (MODBUS-RTU) and SDI-12 communication protocols, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial data loggers and IoT platforms.
We also provide the SenseCAP S2100 - LoRaWAN® Data Logger and the Sensor Hub 4G Data Logger. These solutions allow seamless data transmission to public LoRaWAN® network servers (Helium, TTN, etc.) or private servers, enabling flexible integration into IoT ecosystems.
