Data and analytics with FreeStation //Smart:

Data calibration, visualisation and download using FreeStation //Smart:

This page provides access to our //Smart: web based analytical tools for visualising and analysing your FreeStation or FreeSensor data. See our FreeStation FAQ to submit or review answers to commonly asked questions. The //Smart: system brings together low cost monitoring technology from FreeStation with the WaterWorld, Co$tingNature and EcoActuary Policy Support Systems to develop and deploy reliable, low maintenance continuous monitoring and short term forecasting.

An Introduction to FreeStation //Smart:

//Smart: for Generation 2 (Particle) and 3 (ESP32)

The analytical platform for FreeStation data is called //Smart:

To use //Smart: build a FreeStation, upload the FreeStation firmware and start collecting data.
Generate a //Smart: console for your station here to view, analyse and manage your station.
Use the //Smart: API to access your data and carry out analyses as described here.
To manually upload data from a Freelay (field to internet data relay) or SD card backup click here (G2.0)
Examples of //Smart: consoles are here: //Smart:River | //Smart:Soil | //Smart:Water | //Smart:Weather

//Smart: for Generation 1 (Arduino)

To use //Smart: build a FreeStation, upload the FreeStation firmware and start collecting data.
Generate a //Smart: console for your station here to view, analyse and manage your station.
Use the //Smart: API to access your data and carry out analyses as described here.
If you have a Generation 1.0 (Arduino) FreeStation or FreeSensor click here to upload and calibrate retrieved data.

Flavours of //Smart analytics:

Smart analytical functionality is directed at a range of applications under the headings //Smart:River, //Smart:Soil, //Smart:Water, //Smart:Weather and //Smart:Air as described below

The //Smart:River system is low-cost, reliable, low maintenance, continuous monitoring of weather and water level for river basins.

The FreeStations deployed measure rainfall, temperature, humidity, air pressure and water level, reporting these to //Smart:River.

Analytical tools focus on flood alert and on evaluating the effectiveness of flood mitigation actions, including natural flood management.

//Smart:River works alongside the EcoActuary tool for better understanding insurance risk by flooding and drought and the role of grey and green infrastructure in mitigating those risks.

//Smart:River was first developed as part of the H2020 NAIAD project and further developed in the H2020 ReSET project.

The //Smart:Soil system is low-cost, reliable, low maintenance continuous monitoring of soil water storage and hydrological drought forecasting.

The FreeStations deployed measure rainfall, temperature, humidity, air pressure and soil moisture, reporting these to //Smart:Soil.

Analytical tools focus on drought alert and on evaluating the effectiveness of flood mitigation actions, including natural flood management through soil management.

//Smart:Soil was first developed as part of the H2020 NAIAD project and further developed in the H2020 ReSET project.

The //Smart:Water system is reliable, low maintenance continuous monitoring of water quality with applications in agriculture, hydrology and environmental regulation.

//Smart:Water was first developed as part of the H2020 ReSET project.

The SmartWeather system is reliable, low maintenance continuous monitoring of meteorological variables.

The FreeStations deployed measure rainfall, rainfall intensity temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, wind direction and solar radiation, reporting these to //Smart:Weather.

Analytical tools focus on applications in hydrology, agriculture, urban climate and climate extremes

//Smart:Weather was first developed as part of the H2020 NAIAD project and further developed in the H2020 ReSET project.

The //Smart:Air system is low-cost, reliable, low maintenance, continuous monitoring of air pollution.

The FreeStations deployed measure particulates (PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10), volatile organic compounds, ozone, nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, reporting these near real time.

Analytical tools focus on exposure to pollution.

//Smart:Air was first developed as part of the ReSET project
