Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
FAQs
HOBO offers two categories of weather monitoring solutions:
- Pre-configured weather station kits — choose from three standard kits for common applications, or configure your own
- HOBOnet wireless sensor networks — scalable, multi-sensor deployments using the RX3000 or MicroRX cellular station as the hub, supporting up to 50 wireless sensors
- Stand-alone USB stations — the HOBO U30 and H21-USB for offline data collection in research and educational settings
HOBO weather stations can measure temperature and relative humidity, wind speed and direction, rainfall, leaf wetness, soil moisture, PAR and solar radiation, barometric pressure, water level and flow, and calculated evapotranspiration (ET). The RX3000 supports up to 10 wired smart sensors simultaneously, covering nearly all standard meteorological parameters.
Yes. The RX3000 and MicroRX stations use cellular connectivity to automatically transmit data to LI-COR Cloud (formerly HOBOlink), giving you 24/7 remote access to current conditions, historical trends, and configurable alarm notifications. The HOBO U30 and H21-USB are stand-alone USB stations and require manual data download using HOBOware software — they do not have built-in cellular connectivity.
Yes. All HOBO weather stations are designed with a NEMA 4X-rated enclosure providing superior protection against corrosion, dust, and moisture — suitable for harsh outdoor environments including rain, snow, humidity, and salt air. The H21-USB stand-alone station runs on 4 AAA batteries for approximately one year, with large onboard memory to store data over extended periods.
Yes. The RX3000 and U30 stations support analog input modules (RXMOD-A1 and VIA modules) that accept standard 4–20 mA and 0–20 VDC signals, allowing integration of third-party sensors. The RX3000 can also support 0–2.5V sensor inputs with excitation power. This gives users flexibility to incorporate preferred or specialty sensors alongside the HOBO Smart Sensor ecosystem.
Memory varies by model: the RX3000 holds 32 MB (2 million measurements, continuous logging), the MicroRX holds 16 MB (1 million measurements), the U30 holds 512 KB (~330,000 measurements), and the H21-USB holds 512 KB (~330,000 measurements). RX cellular stations also benefit from continuous cloud storage via LI-COR Cloud, so local memory primarily serves as a buffer during connectivity interruptions.
Yes. With the versatile RX3000 you can connect one water level sensor module (RXMOD-W1) and one HOBOnet Manager (RXMOD--RXW-XXX), giving you the power to expand your network with up to 50 wireless sensors, including water level sensors.
The H21-USB is designed to operate on 4 AAA batteries for approximately one year and has a large onboard memory to store data over longer periods of time.
All HOBO weather stations are designed with a NEMA 4X-rated enclosure for harsh weather environments, providing superior protection against corrosion.
