Simple, but effective. 🌾
"Two heads are better than one" — turns out that's true for humidity sensors too. That's just one of the reasons BaleTime uses two, not one.

Can you spot the second sensor? 👀 Not always obvious — a bit like moisture inside a windrow of hay.

BaleTime notifies you just before dew forms, ensuring optimal conditions for baling.

Two humidity sensors, not one. Here's why. 🌾

Years ago, testing my first BaleTime prototypes, I mounted a sensor on the outside of an enclosure (an old fishing tackle box, if I'm honest) and compared it to one just sitting out on the hay. The one on the box read wrong — turns out the box itself was holding heat, even overnight.

That's why BaleTime's sensors sit out on a cable, away from anything physical.

And why there's two of them. Hay isn't the same all the way through a windrow — top, bottom, one side to the other. Two sensors, placed differently, give a true picture instead of one number guessing for the whole thing.

New electronics, new charts 📊 BaleTime can now graph your data straight from the paddock — humidity, temp, whatever you need to see. And now that I've cracked how to build them, I can put together pretty much any chart you want. Got something specific in mind? Ask away. 🌾

New PCB, new trick: BaleTime now has GPS and knows exactly where it is in the paddock. 📍 That also means better data logging behind the scenes — helping make your life more efficient. 🌾
