How does the Davis EnviroMonitor Gateway work?
The first thing you need to do is to decide where and what type of data you want to collect. You need to decide how many sensors you need and where they should be placed. Once your system arrives, you should install the EnviroMonitor app on your smartphone. You can find it in the Google Play Store or iOS App Store. The app will guide you through setting up the system and connecting it to WeatherLink.com. It will also instruct you on connecting the Nodes to the Gateway and installing your sensors on the Node.
The instructions walk you through everything you need from confirming your cellular signal strength at intended node sites to finding the optimal sites for placing your nodes. You will also receive a user’s manual with diagrams and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. The manual is also available here on the Davis Instrument website.
What can I use to access the data from my EnviroMonitor Gateway?
You can access your data in four different ways. You can use your phone, tablet, or computer to view it via WeatherLink.com. The WeatherLink mobile app lets you access the data from anywhere you have a cell phone signal. You can also use the Mobilize app that is geared toward agricultural operations and crop management.
Where can I use my Davis EnviroMonitor Gateway?
One of the best features of this system is that you can use it almost anywhere there is a cellular connection. You do not need to house it in a building or be near a power outlet. The EnviroMonitor Gateway comes with a 5-watt solar panel that provides sufficient power to operate it for a long time in addition to a 6-volt rechargeable battery for backup. It is also housed in a self-contained weather-resistant shelter to protect the electronics. If weather conditions should become unfavorable, you can have the system send you an email to let you know.

With the capability to connect up to 32 Nodes which can transmit to each other, you can cover a large area fwith a seamless mesh of data sensors. The unit is only designed for use in the United States, and you can use it anywhere LTE cellular service is available.
