Onset Computer Corporation, a data logger company, has unveiled its new the HOBO U30/WiFi Remote Monitoring System.

 
A Web-based monitoring system—the latest addition to Onset’s line of HOBO U30 Remote Monitoring Systems — HOBO U30/WiFi (News - Alert) provides real-time, remote access to energy and environmental data over any WiFi network.  
 
This system helps in verifying the effectiveness of green roofs, solar power systems, wind turbines, and other types of renewable energy systems. In addition, officials said, it measures, records and documents critical performance data that can be used to obtain green/energy-related rebates and credits.
 
Also, HOBO U30/WiFi provides around-the-clock monitoring of various types of renewable energy systems such as tracking wind turbine efficiency and solar power applications.
 
Moreover, HOBO U30/WiFi combines rugged data logging hardware with integrated Wi-Fi communications, and can be used in both indoor and outdoor environments.
 
Officials at the company explained that users can easily plug in their choice of sensors and connect to a WiFi network, and sensors are available for measuring air temperature, relative humidity, sunlight, wind, kW, kWh, AC voltage, AC amps, DC amps, pressure, CO2, and more.
 
To view and analyze data, the company offers HOBOlin , a new, Web-enabled software platform. Officials pointed out that HOBOlink allows users to access current and historical data, set alarm notifications and relay activations, and manage and control remote HOBO U30/WiFi systems from their desktop.
 
“The HOBO U30/WiFi makes it easy to measure and verify system performance over time, and provides alarms for instant notification of any system problems that might be occurring. For installers, this can reduce or eliminate diagnostic time in the field,” said Tom Wineman, owner of Clean Energy (News - Alert) Design, a renewable energy design company.
 
The HOBO U30/Wi-Fi is currently available from Onset, and is priced at $724.
