Abstract:
1. A remote monitoring system for monitoring a plurality of volumetric moisture sensors, the remote monitoring system comprising: a sensor interface communicatively coupled to the plurality of volumetric moisture sensors, the sensor interface configured to receive sensor information concerning environmental moisture conditions from the plurality of volumetric moisture sensors and to calibrate the plurality of volumetric moisture sensors for data measurement concerning the environmental moisture conditions by downloading executable code into the volumetric moisture sensors; a processor configured to process the sensor information to form at least one data packet, the sensor information including a data measurement concerning an environmental moisture condition and an identifier associated with a sensor from the plurality of volumetric moisture sensors; and a wireless communication interface in communication with the sensor interface, the wireless communication interface configured to transfer the at least one data packet over a wireless communications network to a server configured to communicate the executable code for calibrating the plurality of volumetric moisture sensors to the sensor interface via the wireless communication interface and to generate a notification to a customer indicating that the data measurement concerning the environmental moisture condition meets a preset alarm level.
