YSI HydroRIG
Smart Environmental Data Logging & Telemetry
The YSI HydroRIG is an intelligent IoT gateway that combines a data logger, modem and sensor interface into a single compact device. Designed for remote environmental monitoring, HydroRIG connects Xylem and third-party sensors directly to the cloud via HydroSphere, enabling real-time data access without complex configuration.
Simply connect your sensors, power the unit, and HydroRIG automatically begins transmitting monitoring data to the cloud for visualisation, analysis and remote management.
