Today the Fellbach sensor manufacturer Lufft announces the official launch of the WS10. The new all-in-one weather sensor is primarily used to monitor building automation, smart city and smart home applications as well as solar power systems. Thanks to its digital interfaces and an open protocol, the sensor can be easily installed. The integrated compass enables a direction-independent installation, making the sensor particularly suitable for building management systems.
HOW DOES THE LUFFT WS10 WORK?
The smart WS10 sensor covers a total of ten measurement parameters simultaneously. The measurable parameters of the compact weather sensor are air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, wind speed and wind direction, precipitation type, precipitation intensity and rainfall, UV index, the position of the sun, brightness and twilight and global radiation.
- The integrated rain sensor measures the precipitation type, intensity, and quantity. It differentiates between rain, snow, sleet, ice storm and hail. The precipitation is recorded with an accuracy of 1 percent.
- The silicon pyranometer provides information on the global radiation, solar direction, brightness, the UVA/UVB index and the twilight. The radiation sensor has an accuracy of 10 percent.
- The temperature sensor has an accuracy of percent.
- The air pressure is measured with a distinction of a maximum of 0.5 hPa.
- The relative humidity is recorded with an accuracy of 5 percent.
- The wind direction is also recorded and the wind speed is measured accurately down to 1 m/s.
Another special feature of the WS10 is the Wi-Fi interface for easy and wireless integration into a network or control system. In addition, the sensor contains no moving parts, resulting in a maintenance-free operation.
THE DIFFERENCE TO OTHER WEATHER SENSORS
The WS10 has a wider range of measurement parameters compared to other sensors. Many different weather conditions can be determined with a single device. In addition, the handling of the WS10 was simplified and the measuring accuracy significantly improved. Easy data access is ensured via Config Tool.NET and Weather Underground. In addition, the "everything-measuring" is much cheaper than other weather sensors in the same category.
