Local weather data, from your own field

A single-pole, self-powered weather station that puts accurate, real-time conditions where the decisions are made — on the plot, not at the nearest regional station forty kilometres away.

Smart Weather Station

How it works

One pole, full install

Every sensor, the controller, the power system and the uplink mount on a single pole. One person can install it in a morning without site works.

Runs itself

Solar charging with battery buffer, automatic recovery after power or network interruption, and no scheduled maintenance beyond an annual check.

Real-time telemetry

Readings pushed continuously and buffered locally when connectivity drops, so no observation is lost to a weak signal.

Readable at every level

The same data presented as a plain recommendation for a farmer and as raw calibrated series for a researcher.

Built for the field

Sealed enclosures rated for monsoon rain, dust and sustained heat. Designed to sit unattended through a full season.

Open to integration

Data available by API for irrigation control, advisory platforms and institutional research systems.

Why on-location matters

Regional weather data is an average over an area large enough to contain several distinct microclimates. A plot in a valley, shaded in the morning, on heavier soil, behaves differently from the station reporting for the district.

For a decision like do I irrigate today or is this the window to spray, that difference is the entire question. The station exists to close it.

Designed around how it fails

Field hardware does not fail in the ways a lab predicts. It fails because a connection corroded through one monsoon, because the battery drained during a cloudy fortnight, because nobody could get a vehicle out to the site for three months.

So the design priorities were power autonomy, local buffering, automatic recovery, and an install simple enough that it is done correctly by whoever is on site.

Built in collaboration with agricultural research institutions, including deployments with MPKV.

Frequently asked

About Smart Weather Station

What does the Smart Weather Station measure?

Temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure and solar radiation as standard. Soil moisture and leaf-wetness sensors can be added as plot-level extensions without changing the mast or controller.

How is the data accessed?

REST API with authenticated endpoints for live readings, historical ranges and station health. Common consumers are the APx PIAS irrigation controller, OSDA decision support, and third-party analytics and research platforms.

What's the installation and maintenance footprint?

One person, half a day, no civil works. Maintenance is an annual visual check and sensor re-calibration; the solar + battery design runs autonomously through a full season.

Can it integrate with IMD or other weather feeds?

Yes. Local station data can be blended with IMD regional forecasts or any third-party forecast API to feed downstream advisories — especially useful for forward-looking irrigation and spray-window decisions.
