6478 Lufft says its new all-in-one weather sensor has a temperature accuracy of 1% and can be used to monitor smart city and smart home applications. The device is expected to cover ten measurement parameters simultaneously.

The WS10 sensor comes with an integrated compass which enables a direction-independent installation to help it suitable for building management systems, the company adds. 

WS10 measures temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, wind speed and wind direction, precipitation intensity and rainfall, UV index, the position of the sun, brightness and twilight and global radiation.

According to Lufft, the integrated rain sensor can record precipitation with an accuracy of 1% and can differentiate between rain, snow, sleet, ice storm and hail.

Lufft’s sensor also features a Wi-Fi interface to help users integrate into a network or control system more easily.

    Near-fit technology can provide the solution - just ask the question.
    When a company launches a product it never quite knows how that product will be used and what else it may be required to do. Lufft’s mobile weather sensor MARWIS is a prime example. Last winter Lufft introduced MARWIS, its mobile road weather sensor, handing it initially to long-term sales partners to test and improve. What was known was the sensor’s fast reaction rate (up to 100 Hertz), combined with its wide range of measurement information, and would provide users with a gapless overview of the road stat
