Six-Parameter Micro Weather Station: Core of Distributed Meteorological Sensing

In vertical fields such as smart agriculture, disaster-resilient cities, intelligent energy dispatching, and industrial safety monitoring, system integrators, IoT solution providers, project contractors, and engineering companies have an increasingly urgent demand for high spatiotemporal resolution and reliable, durable local meteorological data. The NiuBoL six-parameter micro weather station, centered on an ultrasonic integrated design, highly integrates six key elements—wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and rainfall—into a single compact device, delivering industrial-grade accuracy and open interfaces. It has become the preferred component for numerous meteorological station partners building distributed meteorological sensing networks, real-time decision-making closed loops, and multi-scenario data foundations.

Integrated Ultrasonic Sensor Architecture: High Reliability and Low-Maintenance Design

The NiuBoL six-parameter micro weather station adopts an ultrasonic measurement principle with no moving parts and piezoelectric ceramic rainfall detection technology, achieving maintenance-free and long-lifespan operation. Key technical features are as follows:

The overall device features low power consumption (average 0.4 W, excluding extended sensors), DC 12–24 V power supply, supports solar + lithium battery combination, IP65 protection rating, operating temperature -40～80℃, and MTBF exceeding 50,000 hours, suitable for complex outdoor, industrial, and urban environments.

Communication Protocols and System Integration Capabilities: Engineering Deployment-Friendly

The NiuBoL six-parameter micro weather station prioritizes integration efficiency for B2B projects, offering standard industrial interfaces and an open ecosystem:

• Signal Output: RS485 (standard), supports Modbus RTU protocol, baud rate 9600 bps (configurable).

• Cloud Access: Supports direct connection to Alibaba Cloud IoT, Huawei Cloud IoT, AWS IoT, and other mainstream platforms.

• Edge Processing: Supports local threshold judgment, data caching, and retransmission on network disconnection, reducing cloud load.

• Extension Interface: Provides complete Modbus register mapping table.

System integrators can directly connect to PLC, RTU, or edge gateways; engineering companies can quickly build multi-node distributed networks (hundreds of devices under unified management).

6-Parameter Micro Weather Station Application Scenarios and Integration Value

Smart Agriculture Closed-Loop Control System

In precision irrigation, pest & disease early warning, and farming optimization projects, six-parameter data serves as core input:

• Combined with ET0 model and crop water demand curves for on-demand irrigation control;

• Composite judgment of temperature, humidity, wind speed & direction to optimize pesticide/foliar fertilizer spraying windows, avoiding drift and loss;

• Rainfall + barometric pressure anomaly monitoring to trigger disaster prevention plans (e.g., frost, hail protection).

Typical integration: Modbus RTU access to agricultural controllers or edge computing gateways, MQTT upload to cloud platforms for model training and predictive scheduling.

Disaster Early Warning and Emergency Response Platforms

Dense node networks deployed in flash flood, landslide, and wind disaster-prone areas:

• Real-time collection of local heavy rainfall and strong winds, combined with DEM terrain data to improve warning accuracy;

• Threshold-triggered alerts pushed to emergency command systems or SMS gateways;
