water meter shows the complete amount of rainfall in meters (m³/m²).Values of the rainfall are display in 3 different units: water meter, rain meter and generic sensor.Report to association groups as soon as it stopped raining (delay of 512 sec.) and the value of mm/h goes back to 0.Report to association groups as soon as a defined threshold is recognized in mm/h (heavy rain alert).Report to association groups as soon as there is a rainfall stronger than 0.5 mm/h (internal rocker tilts once).Because of the integrated battery booster technology the Z-Rain could possibly have lifetime of up to 5 years depending on the wake-Up interval. Thanks to Z-Wave and the operation with two standard AAA batteries the Z-Rain can be placed anywhere in your garden. With that you can turn off your garden watering with the beginning of a rainfall and turn on the next watering cycle based on the measurements of the last rainfall. Afterwards the value will become nil again. When the rainfall stops the last measured value will be sent to the gateway. During a rainfall the Z-Rain reports the amount of rain every 1024 seconds in m3 (total sum of the rainfall), mm per m2 and mm/h (current strength of the rainfall) to the Smart Home Gateway. You can also configure the value of rain, when you want to be informed about the rain. A small little shower is not always a reason to close your side windows.

The great advantage of the Z-Rain is, that it not only detects rain but also measures the exact amount of rain. Then you can get a push-message or E-Mail, if one of your windows is still opened and your awning will close automatically. With the first tilt of the rocker and therefore right to the beginning of the rain you will receive the first value from the Z-Rain. Based on that the rainfall will then be calculated. The tilting will be registered from a reed sensor and counted as well. The Z-Rain has an internal rocker, where the rainwater is collected until the weight of the water tilts the rocker. You want to be informed when it starts raining and your windows are still opened? Or you want to control your garden watering intelligently and you want to note the rainfall as well? The POPP Z-Rain enables your Z-Wave Smart Home to make your Smart Home even smarter.
