If your sample/transmission rate is set to 15 minutes and you were getting that poor of a battery life out of your stations, then they definitely aren’t going into sleep mode, so I’d suggest investigating the code that’s running on the Mayfly to learn more about its behavior.

I don’t believe any lights are on during the 15 minutes between data transfers. In the summer and fall lights would start blinking every 15 minutes, then stop for 15 minutes, etc. I’m not sure if there was something happening during the 15 minute break. Once I get the battery charged up with a powerbank i’ll check the dip switches.
Crazy, today…[Read more]

Thank you!
I will see if I can setup a route and test it out.

If you can create a POST request, you can get data to Monitor My Watershed. There’s information about the POST format here:

<p style=”font-weight: 400;”>Hi there,</p>
<p style=”font-weight: 400;”>I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to route our data to your website. We have a couple water quality monitoring buoys that currently send data to ThingSpeak (using HTTP POST I believe) and I’m wondering if your Monitoring My Watershed data sharing portal is an option…[Read more]

@shicks I agree it would be good to see the software. For my systems I look to have it last 14days before it reaches 3.8V and it is a difficult target unless its being tested for and the time taken on the radio is also characterized.
I see the issue is how to keep the sensor readings delivered reliably while there is enough power, and then when…[Read more]

We certainly understand how valuable it is for Monitor My Watershed users to share their data on their own websites. While there isn’t a direct way to share Monitor My Watershed webpages, there are several ways to automate the data download process for reprocessing and posting your data in a separate service. First, you can retrieve a csv file of…[Read more]

James, your station seems to be using power at a rate much higher than a usual CTD station. Our Mayfly v1.1 boards with EnviroDIY sim7080 LTE board and a CTD sensor will see a decrease in the battery voltage overnight of 0.045v during a 12 hour period with absolutely no sunlight, and transmitting the data to the portal every 5 minutes. Your s…[Read more]
