Dragino WSS-08 Optical Rain Gauge

The Dragino WSS-08 Optical Rain Gauge is a precise sensor designed to accurately measure rainfall amounts through pulse output. The sensor uses optical technology, enabling precise and reliable measurement of rainfall without any moving parts. This makes the sensor particularly robust and durable. The WSS-08 is connected to the Dragino WSC2-L transmitter via pulses, which counts these pulses and transmits the data over a LoRaWAN network. Thanks to its high sensitivity, the WSS-08 detects even the smallest amounts of rainfall and provides reliable data under various weather conditions. With its weatherproof housing, the sensor is optimally suited for use in demanding environments and guarantees a long service life. This sensor is ideal for applications in agriculture, climate research projects, or smart city initiatives where precise monitoring of rainfall amounts is important.
