4G LTE Air Monitor

Introduction

This air monitor, with the detection of air temperature and humidity, carbon dioxide, air quality TVOC, light intensity and other functions, mainly used in greenhouse environmental detection.

Its built-in 4G module, can transmit temperature, humidity, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and TVOC to the Internet to achieve remote wireless communication.

This air monitor is powered by internal 18650 lipo battery charged by solar panel, the power down current lower as 165uA. With the solar panel to charge the battery and low power consumption, the device can operate for extended periods. And then transmit the data via the 4G LTE network, so user can monitor the field status or have them recorded for long-term analyze.
