Environmental monitoring
Measure forests, soil and city climate far from any power line
Climate research and city networks need readings from many places, most of them far from mains power, and data collected by hand is days old. CHESTER measures on site on batteries and sends every reading over NB-IoT or LTE-M.
How it works
From the field to your researchers
Sensors
Weather, soil moisture, tree growth

CHESTER
Our IoT device, measures on site
HARDWARIO Cloud
Keeps every reading, passes it on
Your tools
Grafana, REST API or CSV export

Device, firmware and cloud
-
Weather
CHESTER Meteo measures wind, rain, pressure, temperature and humidity.
- One station
-
Soil and trees
CHESTER reads our capacitive soil-moisture sensor and a dendrometer.
- Tree growth
-
Networks
One CHESTER reads Bluetooth tags, so it serves several points nearby.
- Up to eight tags
Reference
Forest Research measures the climate in British forests
Each CHESTER carries a temperature and humidity sensor, our soil-moisture sensor and a dendrometer, reports over Vodafone’s NB-IoT network and feeds the researchers’ Grafana, REST API and CSV exports. We also service a city climate network of Bluetooth tags, weather stations and soil probes.

Adapted for you
We designed it, so we can change it
For Forest Research we fitted CHESTER with these sensors, and Vodafone UK tested NB-IoT coverage at the sites. Tell us what you measure and where.
