Low-power Micro Automatic Weather Station for Smart Agriculture

The JW-WDC9(HY10) Low-power Micro Automatic Weather Station is a compact multi-parameter weather monitoring device designed for smart agriculture, farmland microclimate monitoring, smart city applications, environmental observation and distributed IoT weather networks.

Depending on the selected configuration, the station can measure wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, visibility, PM2.5 and PM10, with optional modules for solar radiation, illumination and UV radiation.

With a 12–24 VDC power supply, IP65 protection, compact ASA engineering plastic housing and support for RS232, RS485 and optional SDI-12, it is suitable for field monitoring systems where installation space, power consumption and system integration are important considerations.

Product Overview

The JW-WDC9(HY10) combines several meteorological measurements in one compact field device, helping reduce the number of separately installed sensors at one monitoring point.

Standard or commonly configured parameters include:

Wind speed
Wind direction
Air temperature
Relative humidity
Atmospheric pressure
Rainfall

Optional parameters include:

Solar radiation
Illumination
UV radiation
PM2.5
PM10
Visibility

This modular configuration allows the weather station to be selected according to the actual monitoring requirements of different projects.

Note: The final product height, sensor combination and power consumption depend on the selected modules. Please confirm the final configuration before ordering.

Communication and System Integration

The station supports RS232, RS485 and optional SDI-12, allowing it to connect with compatible:

Data loggers
RTUs
IoT gateways
Industrial controllers
Environmental monitoring systems

A typical monitoring architecture can be:

Micro Weather Station
→ RS485 / RS232 / SDI-12
→ Data Logger or IoT Gateway
→ Communication Network
→ Monitoring Platform

This makes the JW-WDC9(HY10) suitable for OEM projects and system integrators that need to incorporate local weather data into a larger monitoring system.

Smart Agriculture Applications

Local weather conditions can vary between fields and growing areas. A compact weather station allows agricultural projects to collect environmental data directly from the actual monitoring location.

Typical applications include:

Farmland microclimate monitoring
Smart agriculture IoT systems
Crop environment observation
Greenhouse external weather monitoring
Irrigation-related environmental monitoring
Agricultural research stations
Remote field monitoring

Temperature, humidity, rainfall and wind data can provide useful environmental context for agricultural decision-support systems.

Remote and Solar-Powered Field Monitoring

The low-power design of the JW-WDC9(HY10) makes it suitable for integration into properly designed solar-powered or battery-supported monitoring systems.

This is useful for remote fields and environmental monitoring points where mains power is not available.

When designing a solar-powered system, the total power budget should also include:

Data logger
Communication device
Gateway
Battery
Solar charging system
Other connected sensors

Solar panel and battery capacity should therefore be determined according to the complete monitoring system, not the weather sensor alone.

Smart City and Environmental Monitoring

The compact design also makes this station suitable for distributed urban and environmental monitoring.

Possible deployment locations include:

Parks
Campuses
Residential communities
Roadsides
Rooftops
Public infrastructure sites
Environmental monitoring points

Optional PM2.5, PM10 and visibility monitoring can be added where additional environmental parameters are required.

Installation Considerations

For reliable field measurements:

Install the station at a representative monitoring location
Avoid unnecessary obstruction from nearby buildings or trees
Consider airflow and rainfall exposure when selecting the mounting position
Plan power supply, communication and cable routing together
Confirm the required sensor modules before finalizing the installation structure

Because station height changes according to the selected parameter modules, the final configuration should be confirmed before installation.
