Nature 4.0 Third-Party Devices - Overview

You will find information about the third-party sensors in use. For a description of the sensors and how they work, please refer to the manufacturer’s pages.

In the current state, the sensor system consists of the following third-party sensor systems:

• TreeTalker +: TreeTalker monitors: Water transport inside the plant, diameter growth, quantity and quality of foliage (light transmission in 12 spectral bands, temperature, humidity, tree stability, the data is transmitted via radio

• Fine Offset: Weather and environmental sensors. The sensors from Fine Offset are rebranded and partly modified by the resellers. We currently use sensors from froggit DP-series and ecowitt GW-1000 series.

• audio-moth:AudioMoth is a low-cost, open-source acoustic monitoring device used for monitoring wildlife. AudioMoth is not only sensitive to audible sounds but well into ultrasonic frequency range.

Open Source

These Sensors are commercial hardware. However we are implementing an open data policy with open source interfaces to obtain and deliver the data streams.
