Onset, a supplier of data loggers, has announced the HOBO ®  ZW Series, a family of wireless data nodes for centralized monitoring of energy use and environmental conditions in buildings. 

HOBO ZW Series data nodes reduce the cost and complexity of data collection by measuring, recording and transmitting real-time energy use and environmental data – from dozens of points – to a central PC, the company explains. 

The company says the system is different from traditional data loggers because HOBO data nodes work together in a self-healing wireless network to transmit logged data to a PC at regular intervals, eliminating the need to spend time retrieving collected data from individual data loggers deployed throughout a facility. 

The wireless nodes can measure temperature, relatively humidity, kilowatt hours, CO 2, AC voltage, amps, gauge pressure, and a variety of other parameters.  

Accompanying HOBOware® Pro 3.0 software lets you quickly and easily configure data node networks, view real-time energy and environmental data, and set alarms for any sensors on the network. Alarm notifications can be sent via text messaging to your cell phone, and/or email to your PC. The software also provides a Network Map feature that provides an at-a-glance view of your network, and allows data exporting to Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet programs with a single click.
