Weather Induction Sensor Rain Snow IP65

Dimensions: not specified in source; Weight: not specified; Operating environment: outdoor, freezing conditions supported; Ingress protection: IP65 rated for dust and low-pressure water resistance from any direction; Housing material: plastic; Output interface: RS485 digital signal output; Core functionality: analog-based rain and snow detection with integrated heating element to prevent icing. Engineered for continuous environmental monitoring, the sensor interprets analog input from its exposed surface to determine precipitation type based on conductivity, thermal mass and response time differences between liquid rain and crystalline snow. Its RS485 output enables seamless integration with cloud-connected data platforms or local SCADA systems. The heating function remains active only when needed, extending component lifespan. Deployed in contexts ranging from Welsh upland sheep farms tracking storm onset to Dutch greenhouse clusters adjusting ventilation upon snow detection, this sensor provides actionable, context-aware weather intelligence — not just raw data — supporting both operational efficiency and climate adaptation planning.
