Add-on soil and temperature sensors on an Ambient Weather console
Connect your Ambient Weather sensors to an online dashboard
Ambient Weather consoles accept add-on sensors, such as extra soil moisture probes and extra temperature and humidity sensors, that all report through the same base station. SensorConsole reads those add-on sensors through your Ambient Weather account and shows them on a dashboard with your other brands, so you can monitor them remotely without opening another app.
What you can monitor
