Water Rat Trough Sensor

The Farmo Water Rat (patent pending) is the world's easiest to set up tank and trough water sensor on the market. It comes with a Telstra NB-IoT SIM card inside so you can just throw it in a trough, or tether it to a tank, and start getting low water level alerts on your phone or computer right away. When it's floating in a trough, cattle will inspect the Water Rat then quickly leave it alone once they realise they can't push on it (and break it) like a fixed object.

How it works:

The Water Rat looks simple but has some smart technology inside including an accelerometer tilt sensor to detect movement, an NB-IoT chip to send data, and GPS to report location. When the water level reaches a low point, the Water Rat tilts over and sends an alert. When the water level rises another alert is sent to let you know the water is OK again.

The device requires a Farmo/FSG subscription which covers all data charges, dashboard and alerts. The SIM card, Tank tether cord are included.
