Hobby Boards’ UV Index Meter allows you to monitor this important environmental element using your 1-Wire network. If your primary concern is UV, you can use this device on your 1-Wire network on its own; it also nicely rounds out any 1-Wire weather monitoring system.

This device detects and measures UV radiation in both the UVA and UVB spectrum, with peak detection at a wavelength of approximately 365 nm. It will detect both direct and reflected UV, and the product manual will help you locate your device in order to maximize the accuracy of its reading. The device reports results as a UV Index (standard scale 0-16), to a resolution of one decimal place.

The UV Index Meter requires external power such as that provided by our Hub, Master Hub, or Power Injector. In addition, the UV sensor is more sensitive to environmental conditions than some of our other devices. While we always recommend our cases, for this device a case such as our Hobby Boards UV Index Meter Case is required.
