Raspberry Pi HAT · Open Firmware

Anytime. Anywhere.
Know your water.

Six sensor channels, LoRaWAN telemetry, and an on-board relay — continuous readings from any tank, pond, or treatment system, shipped from Austin.

The Device

One board. Six probes.

A Raspberry Pi HAT that reads six channels of water chemistry, holds them in an on-board buffer when the link drops, and ships them out over LoRa. When a reading crosses a line you set, the same board trips a relay — a pump, a valve, an aerator. Hover or focus any pin to see what it is.Tap any badge to see what it is.

What It Watches

Six channels.

Six parameters, read every six minutes. Here’s what each one tells you.

A0 · BNC

pH

Acid or base — drifts before the fish do.

A1 · BNC

TDS

Dissolved salts, climbing or holding steady.

A2 · Analog

Turbidity

Cloudiness — the first sign of a bloom.

A3 · BNC

ORP

Whether your disinfection is working.

GPIO · 1-Wire

Temperature

The reference everything else leans on.

UART · NMEA

GPS

Geo-stamps every batch of readings.

System Overview

How it all connects.

From probe to dashboard. The WQM-1 reads, buffers, and transmits over LoRaWAN to BlueSignal Cloud; thresholds fire alerts and the relay closes the loop. The same readings power the WaterQuality.Trading network.

Storage

Offline-First SQLite Buffer

WAL-mode database holds readings locally when the link drops. Syncs automatically once the LoRa link returns.

Radio

LoRaWAN Class A

SX1262 transceiver, 15 km line-of-sight. Cayenne LPP payloads, AES-128 encrypted.

Control

Relay Output

10 A relay for pumps, valves, and dosing systems. Fires on a threshold rule or a cloud command.

Expansion

I²C Expansion Bus

Exposed I²C header for more probes — barometric pressure, dissolved oxygen, or custom sensors.

Every connector, voltage, protocol, and tolerance is on the datasheet — compute, radio, power, and I/O in full.

Where It Lives

Where it’s already running.

🐟

Aquaculture

Dissolved oxygen crashes before dawn. Wire the relay to your aerator and it kicks on at the threshold, before the fish notice.

🌿

Algae Control

Turbidity and ORP climb days before a bloom shows. Catch the trend, trip an ultrasonic transducer, skip the manual dosing.

🏗️

Stormwater

Retention-basin readings, GPS-tagged and logged for MS4 compliance — already in the format the report wants.

🏠

Residential

Well water and rainwater harvesting. A text the moment pH drifts or TDS spikes, before it reaches the tap.

Pricing
