WeatherStation overview

WeatherStation is a professional Emiko-connected weather monitoring solution for sites that need reliable local weather and climate data over time. It combines robust field instruments, a controller/data layer, and Emiko presentation so measured values can be monitored, logged, shared, and used in daily decisions.

The customer buys a WeatherStation solution. DataGuard is the data layer that collects selected sensor values and sends them to Emiko under the correct WeatherStation equipment and data types.

Where WeatherStation is used

WeatherStation is used where local measurements are more useful than a distant forecast station or a generic online weather feed.

Ports and marine sites can use local wind, pressure, precipitation, and visibility-related data for operational awareness.
Agriculture and irrigation sites can use rainfall, temperature, humidity, wind, and soil or field temperature values as decision support.
Industrial, construction, and utility sites can use local weather values for safety, documentation, alarms, and operational follow-up.

Current model range

Start with WeatherStation LX9 eco for new standard installations. The delivered sensor set depends on the site requirement, but the documentation path is the same: install the controller, connect the required instruments, configure the source values, and then configure DataGuard reporting.

Values in Emiko

WeatherStation values can be shown in Emiko when the connected sensor path and DataGuard reporting are configured. Values can be used for live overview, history, graphs, sharing, and alarm or warning workflows when those options are part of the delivered solution.

Typical weather values include air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind, precipitation, and selected site-specific measurements.
Analog, digital/counter, 1-Wire, and RS485/driver instruments can be used when the instrument and setup path are supported.
DataGuard controls which Emiko equipment type and data type each value is reported under.

WeatherStation and DataGuard

DataGuard can be installed as a standalone data product, but inside WeatherStation it is documented as the WeatherStation data layer. WeatherStation pages explain the site-specific weather solution first, then link to DataGuard for the shared reporting parameters.

For the current Thies Hydro Termo Baro driver package, WeatherStation uses DataGuard driver reporting with DEVEQT# 23 and DEVDATATYPE# 8000 when temperature, pressure, and humidity must be sent as one package.

Professional installation principles

WeatherStation documentation should always keep the measured data chain visible: field instrument, mounting and exposure, cable and signal path, source value, DataGuard reporting, and Emiko presentation.

Select solid instruments that match the site, measurement purpose, and expected lifetime.
Mount sensors so the measured value represents the site and is not dominated by nearby buildings, heat sources, shielding, or turbulence.
Keep service access, cleaning, inspection, calibration, and replacement in the planning from the start.
Verify live values before values are used for alarms, reports, forecasts, or operational decisions.
