RanchSense Rainwater Monitor
RanchSense Rainwater Monitor
The weather report twenty miles away isn't the rain on your ranch. The RanchSense Rainwater Monitor tracks actual rainfall at the spot you mount it — so you know exactly how much fell on the north pasture, the calving lot, or the hayfield. Solar-powered, satellite-connected, and installs in about 10 minutes.
Stop guessing about rain. Know exactly what fell, where, and when.
What you get
- Solar-powered satellite rainwater gauge
- Mobile app (iOS & Android) and web dashboard
- Text alerts on rainfall events
- Cumulative tracking by day, week, month, and year
- No cell service required
Why ranchers buy this
- Real rainfall data per pasture. The county airport gauge doesn't reflect what fell on your place. This does.
- Document for insurance and lease tracking. Verified, timestamped rainfall data helps with hay leases, grazing leases, drought programs, and weather-related claims.
- Plan operations smarter. Burning, spraying, hay cutting, and grazing rotation all benefit from knowing actual on-ranch rain, not the regional average.
- Affordable entry to Smart Ranch Tech. At $150, this is the most accessible way to start using satellite ranch monitoring. Add a Water Monitor or Gate Monitor later from the same app.
How it works
- Mount the unit in an open area (away from tree cover and buildings)
- Solar panel powers it indefinitely — no batteries to replace
- Configure rainfall thresholds and alerts in the RanchSense app
- Get live readings and rainfall alerts 24/7
Rainwater Monitor vs Weather Station
The Rainwater Monitor is the standalone rain gauge — perfect if rainfall is the data point you care about most. If you also want wind speed, temperature, and freeze alerts, step up to the full RanchSense Weather Station ($1,199). Compare all four RanchSense products side-by-side on our comparison page.
Includes monitoring service
Hardware ships with the RanchSense monitoring service for ongoing satellite data and app access. Service options and renewal terms presented at checkout or by quote.
