BleBox rainSensor - rain and precipitation sensor with WiFi communication

Description

The rainSensor rain sensor is an ideal tool for detecting the onset and end of rainfall. With it, you can track the history of rainfall and check if it has recently rained using charts and remote access. You no longer have to worry about unexpected rain ruining your laundry outdoors - set up notifications on your phone, and the rainSensor will inform you when rainfall begins. Additionally, if you have open skylights, the sensor will automatically close them in case of rain, protecting the interior from moisture.

The rainSensor not only alerts you to rain but can also intervene with other systems. For example, if you are watering your garden, the sensor can send a signal to stop watering when rain is detected, saving water and protecting plants. With an additional logic output, the sensor can be integrated with other building automation systems, providing versatile functionality.

Its compact size and functional housing allow for installation in a convenient location using screws or mounting tape. This allows the rainSensor to be easily adapted to different conditions and user needs. Use the sensor to automate skylights - when rain is detected, the sensor can send a signal to automatically close the windows. Combined with the shutterBox controller, you have full control over window opening and closing based on weather conditions.

With the rainSensor, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home is protected from rain, and your plants are watered at the right time, making it an indispensable tool for anyone who cares about their environment and quality of life.
