Based on the open source Meshtastic firmware, appropriately configured to be compatible with our service. To use EcoSensors you need a user account on app.EcoSensors.cloud. The sensors can also be operated stand-alone (web interface) or with a local installation of Home-Assistant (optional). The HC-50 measuring system is a modular system and communicates with each other over long distances (several kilometers) using LoRa radio technology. Almost any number of measuring stations (nodes) can exchange data with a base station (gateway). Stationary gateways are operated with a USB power supply, but can also be configured for remote use (e.g. as a repeater) with battery or solar. The Nodes are usually powered by rechargeable LiFePo4 batteries, a solar option is in development. |

The HC-50 Systems is a mesh network. Therefore, Nodes can also be designed as “forwarding stations”, so-called Repeaters. More informations: EcoSensors Topology |
