HydroNode

Monitoring network for your own sensors, since February 2026

ESP32, Arduino and LoRaWAN devices send their readings to HydroNode. There they are stored, charted and checked for outliers. Firmware updates arrive over the air. HydroNode is free for up to 20 sensors.

HydroNodeStation

Open monitoring station for outdoors

The station runs on a small solar panel and a battery, with no mains power and no Wi-Fi. It sends its readings to HydroNode over LoRaWAN. It measures CO₂, particulate matter, temperature, humidity, air pressure and UV.

Board, firmware and enclosure are open source, and the enclosure is 3D printed. One station is already measuring outdoors.
