Purpose
This overview serves as the SmartHomeConcierge.ai master reference for the Pessl Instruments (METOS) ecosystem. It provides a comprehensive summary of products, platform features, mobile app capabilities, precision agriculture technologies, environmental monitoring systems, weather stations, cloud connectivity, remote monitoring, firmware management, smart alerts, connected sensors, and common configuration categories used by SmartHomeConcierge.ai technicians when assisting customers and creating device-specific configuration articles.
Pessl Instruments® develops the METOS® family of intelligent weather stations, environmental monitoring systems, agricultural sensors, IoT field devices, and decision-support platforms for agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, research, hydrology, smart cities, flood warning, and environmental monitoring. Through the FieldClimate® cloud platform and METOS mobile applications, compatible devices provide real-time weather monitoring, localized forecasting, irrigation management, disease prediction models, insect monitoring, soil monitoring, historical reporting, automated alerts, and advanced farm decision support. The METOS ecosystem is designed to help users make informed decisions using field-specific environmental data rather than regional weather information.
