Results of AIRLAB for our awarded Indoor Ambiance Monitor
/Results of @AIRLAB_Airparif Challenge for our Indoor Ambiance Monitor with CO2, TVOC, Motion/Activity, Hum, Temp, Air Pressure, Illuminance communicating over LoRaWAN. And we continuously work on it to improve! Full report at http://www.airlab.solutions/sites/default/files/20181114_Resultats_Tous_Capteurs.pdf …
Successful Indoor Ambiance Monitoring at Smart City Expo in Barcelona
/We look back at a very successful @SmartCityexpo in @firabarcelona. We monitored as a demo expo ambiance, air quality and activity on site with our LoRaWAN Indoor Ambiance Monitor at one booth. Prefect conference conditions! @LoRaAlliance @nokiaIoT
Airlab Airparif awards two devices for their performance in indoor air quality
/We have been awarded by @AIRLAB_Airparif @Airparif for our Indoor Ambiance Monitor capturing CO2, TVOC, Illuminance, Motion, Temperature, Humidity, and Barometric Pressure and sends data over LoRaWAN in the category "Sensibilation sur la qualité de l'air intérieur".

Heavy rain event and flood of River Chriesbach
/Last Friday, 08-Jun-2018, we recorded a heavy rain event in Dübendorf. In parallel, precipitation and the level of the River Chriesbach were recorded. In only half an hour an amount of 30 millimeter rainfall has been recorded. Nearby river levels raised by1 meter in only 1.5 hours and flooded the walkways!
All measurements realized with our rain gauge and ultrasonic level meter sending data over LoRaWAN to our cloud infrastructure. Precipitation data provided by Eawag (absolute rain depths are still subject to verification).
Report about Decentlab in Einstein on Swiss Television SRF
/On 24th May Decentlab was featured in Einstein on SRF1. Two relevant projects in research, Carbosense/swiss.co2.live, initiated by Empa, Swisscom and Decentlab and the Urban Water Observatory of Eawag and ETHZ were presented. We are in both projects the main partner for the LoRaWAN based instruments and data services.
The whole program Einstein of that day was dedicated to Internet of Things with a special focus on LoRaWAN.

First snow fall in this season measured at Holzegg
/We monitor for WSL, Hydrological Forecasts snow level for monitoring of a catchment with a variant of our Level/Displacement Sensor using an ultrasonic sensor. Beginning of this week we caught first snow fall measurements and now we can observe how it melts down or more layers of snow will add up on the cover over the next weeks and months.
Frost hollow monitoring with our air temperature and humidity LoRaWAN sensors
/Kaltluftseen.ch, an initiative by Stephan Vogt, monitors frost hollows in Switzerland. In this season he started to use Decentlab's air temperature and relative humidity with radiation shield (LoRaWAN) and the Data Access platform to monitor Hintergräppelen, a promising site to reach lowest temperatures in Switzerland.
On Tuesday morning we recorded a new minimum of this season with -21.89 °C. We are looking forward for a really cold winter.

CO2 sensors for Carbosense in pressure chamber
/Empa, Laboratory for Air Pollution / Environmental Technology is calibrating and testing our LoRaWAN CO2 sensors in the pressure chamber at Metas.
Read more about our project Carbosense
Outdoor calibration time for Carbosense
/Since mid of April Empa, Laboratory for Air Pollution / Environmental Technology, operates our LoRaWAN CO2 sensors next to their Nabel reference site to conduct outdoor calibration. The devices transmit readings over Swisscom LPN, based on LoRaWAN technology. In the next months we will roll out more than 300 CO2 sensors over whole Switzerland.

Decentlab's devices at MWC17 @ LoRa Alliance
/See our LoRaWAN sensor devices at the booths of Orbiwise, Actility and LoRa Alliance during Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona. Thanks to all the partners which exhibit them.
Real time level monitoring demo with our new partner OrbiWise
/Check out our new demo together with OrbiWise. OrbiWise provides a full network software solution for LoRaWAN-based networks. Our sensors and application server fits perfectly in combination with the network server from our partner. The demo shows a piezoresistive pressure and temperature sensor for level metering applications like water supply, waste water, ground water or surface water.
