Ich hatte Mitte Juni das Vergnügen, bei einem Blockkurs mitzuhelfen: in diesem Zusammenhang wurden in Zürich-Witikon einige Temperatursensoren (diverse Modelle, u.a von @decentlab.bsky.social, teils geschützt, teils ungeschützt) aufgestellt und zusammen mit Daten von stadtklima-zuerich.ch geplotet.

🔧 Today on a bench in Dübendorf, Switzerland. Soon at the bottom of a well. This DL-PR36 is still being programmed and tested before it heads out to track groundwater levels — high-precision pressure & temperature, sent over LoRaWAN. Check out device: buff.ly/3K9bKgX #LoRaWAN #IoT #Groundwater

Spotted on a summer hike near Gstaad: our Laser Distance / Level Sensor. Elsewhere it tracks water levels and floods. Here it points at a meadow — no water in sight. Why? In summer it measures down to the grass, in winter down to the snow. The difference is the snow depth. Device: buff.ly/oT4tJuz

Nahfrosterfahrung heute morgen in Hintergräppelen: Kurz nach 6 Uhr Lokalzeit wurde ein Minimum von 0.6 °C registriert. Unten in der Senke war es dabei gut 15 Grad wärmer als auf ähnlicher Höhe ausserhalb der Senke.

📍 Sap flow sensor, spotted in Zürich. Our DL-ISF | Sap Flow Sensor for LoRaWAN® on a city street tree, deployed for UrbaNature — measuring how much water urban trees move and how they cope with heat and drought. Device DL-ISF: www.decentlab.com/products/sap...

First the heat, then the water. Europe's record heatwave broke into thunderstorms and flash floods. Here's one of our DL-MBX sensors catching the water level climb on 1 July — ultrasonic, sent over LoRaWAN. Doesn't stop a flood, just flags it early. Check out real-time data: buff.ly/HfZEtxM

Last chance — Atmospheric Commons runs until 4 July at the American Academy in Rome. A network of 47 sensors reads the gardens' microclimate, making the cooling effect of trees visible. Decentlab contributed seven DL-SHT35-001 temperature & humidity sensors. atmosphericcommons.com

Fertig Schnee - von 170 auf 0 in 30 Tagen: In Hintergräppelen wird seit heute wieder der Abstand zum Rasenteppich am Boden gemessen. Durch die Lage in der Senke wird die Schneedecke im Vergleich mit den Stationen Iltios und Schwägalp vom @slfdavos.bsky.social besser konserviert. Danke an... ./.

One week to go — we're on the panel at the LoRa Alliance webinar Precision at Scale: Where LoRaWAN Wins in Agriculture. Soil, water, microclimate, pest risk, ROI — what works in the field. 🗓 8 July, 5pm CET 👉 Learn more and register: buff.ly/dB4qwbi

Switzerland is known for clocks that keep accurate time. Our black globe temperature sensors are built in the same spirit – just for a different kind of measurement. The DL-BLG measures radiant temperature – a key input for the WBGT heat stress index. Check out Datasheet 👉 buff.ly/Oqu2gjK #heat

📊 Almost six years of air data from a single DL-PM in Dübendorf — every 10 min, over LoRaWAN. Fireworks spikes, winter inversions, Saharan dust, wildfire smoke, and six clean annual T/humidity cycles. No recalibration.

Summer is here, and with it the urban heat island effect. ☀️ 4 sensors from our range for urban heat monitoring over LoRaWAN: 🔹 DL-BLG, Black Globe Temperature Sensor 🔹 DL-SHT35, Air & Humidity 🔹 DL-ATM22, Wind Speed, Direction and Temperature 🔹 DL-ATM41G2, Weather Station Datasheets on our website

Our DL-SMTP in the field in the French Département de la Loire. Goal: monitor the structural road temperatures at multiple levels in real time, to better manage frost and thaw. Thanks to #OPTIMIZ-NETWORK for sharing this deployment with us.

💧 You can't use the same sensor for every body of water. Whether it’s a roaring river, a calm lake, a fish tank, deep in a well, or out in the snow – the environment dictates the physical principle. That’s why our lineup includes distinct technologies, all transmitting reliably over LoRaWAN:

🛠️ Assembled and tested in Dübendorf, Switzerland — before going into the field. The DL-MBX ultrasonic distance/level sensor: • Range up to 10 m • 1 mm resolution • 1 % accuracy, factory calibrated • LoRaWAN class A Real-time data 👉 buff.ly/sHIgaTP Device 👉 buff.ly/2LZfr84

DL-BLG & DL-SHT35-003, installed by Umwelt- und Gesundheitsschutz Zürich (UGZ) to measure radiant heat, air temperature and humidity — together with a DL-ATM22 (wind), these are the inputs needed to compute Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and assess urban heat stress. #urban #climate #iot #lora

An asphalted road became canals, footpaths & trees. Over 6 years in Dordrecht 🇳🇱, data suggests the change cut extreme temperature differences from 1.4°C → 0.9°C, with green areas staying cooler. Proud our 15 DL-SHT35 sensors delivered the temp & humidity data.

Over 33°C in Switzerland last week, but officially a "heat period", not a heatwave. Why? 🌡️ A formal heatwave requires the 24h average to hit a threshold 3 days in a row. Because rural Switzerland cooled down at night, that average wasn't met. The reality is Microclimate.

Every spec. Every detail. Always available to download. Measurement ranges, accuracy values, battery life, device specifications — our datasheets have it all. For example 👉 DL-TRS21 | Soil Water Potential and Temperature Sensor for LoRaWAN®. Find all datasheets at: decentlab.com/support

We're back! For those who had a long weekend — hope you enjoyed it. For those who didn't — well, neither did our sensors. Take our DL-SMTP for example — measuring soil moisture and temperature year after year, without a break. Check out real time demo: buff.ly/fXdYo0E

Happy Pentecost weekend! 🌿 In Switzerland, we celebrate next Monday as a public holiday — time to recharge. Our sensors, however, have other plans. See you Tuesday!

Our DL-LP8P in action! Somewhere above the rooftops of Zurich, located next to passive samplers ... This compact sensor captures: - CO₂ - Temperature - Humidity - Barometric pressure --> Check out DL-LP8P | CO₂, Temperature, Humidity and Barometric Pressure Sensor for LoRaWAN®: buff.ly/YBWeoMH

Low Snow Reserves – again. Switzerland heads into spring with 30–60 % of normal snowpack. Rain gauges won't show you what's underground. Direct measurement will. Sensor devices for LoRaWAN giving insights for soil moisture and groundwater: www.decentlab.com/products #Groundwater #SoilMoisture

All you need to know – in one document. Our datasheets go beyond specs. Take the DL-ATM41G2: 11 sensor specs, mounting guide, battery planning, LoRaWAN® message format, CE compliance – everything to evaluate, deploy, and maintain. All datasheets at: www.decentlab.com/support

Frisch war es übrigens auch heute Morgen: -25 °C in Hintergräppelen und unter -30 °C am Sägistalsee. Hier fehlen aufgrund der extrem schwierigen LoRaWAN-Empfangsbedingungen Werte (nominal 2 min Frequenz) - zum Glück speichert das Gerät von @decentlab.bsky.social alle Werte auf SD-Karte…

Die automatische Schneemessung von @decentlab.bsky.social funzt im Übrigen sehr ordentlich: Referenz bilden 10 Handmessungen mit Lawinensonde (min: 110 cm, max: 137 cm, avg: 129 cm)

🧵 1/2 Last week: 15°C, sunshine. Today: snow in the lowlands. March is when road ice is most dangerous — exactly because nobody expects it. The DL-CWS2 monitors road surface temp, humidity & dew point year-round. Battery-powered, sending data via LoRaWAN, weatherproof, maintenance-free for years.

Floods, droughts, leaks — are you measuring from the right direction? 💧 From above: radar, ultrasonic, laser — no contact needed. From below: pressure sensors for tanks, groundwater, boreholes. All battery-powered, all LoRaWAN. No wires even in the most remote spots. decentlab.com/products

This little box doesn't look like much 👀 It's the DL-LID: a laser distance sensor that runs on battery, talks over LoRaWAN, and now comes in a weatherproof housing. 40 m range, 1 mm resolution Snow depth, flood monitoring, fill levels — it just measures and sends. DL-LID: buff.ly/XWcN4CH
