Overview
The HOBO MX Analog/Temp/RH/Light (MX1104) and HOBO MX 4-Channel Analog (MX1105) data loggers measure and transmit data wirelessly from indoor environments to a mobile device or computer using Bluetooth Low Energy technology.

Mechanics
The MX1104 model has integrated temperature, relative humidity (RH), and light intensity sensors and one analog input, while the MX1105 model has four analog inputs. Both models support a wide variety of external sensors (sold separately), including self-describing temperature, split-core AC current transformer, 4-20 mA input, and DC voltage input sensors.

Design
The self-describing sensors are designed with integrated strain relief for a secure connection to the loggers and are automatically detected by the HOBOconnect app for easy setup. These compact loggers also have built-in LCD screens to display current sensor readings, logging status, battery use, memory consumption, and more.

Data Retrieval
Using the app, users can configure the loggers, read out and view data, and export the data for further analysis. The loggers can calculate minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation statistics and can also be configured to trip audible or visual alarms at thresholds users specify. In addition, both loggers support burst logging, in which data is logged at a different interval when sensor readings are above or below certain limits.

Wireless Data Standard Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart)
Logging Rate 1 second to 18 hours
Logging Modes Fixed interval (normal, statistics) or burst
Memory Modes Wrap when full or stop when full
Start Modes Immediate, push button, date & time, or next interval
Stop Modes When memory full, push button, date & time, or after a set logging period
Restart Mode Push button
Time Accuracy ±1 minute per month at 25°C (77°F)
Battery Type Two AAA 1.5 V alkaline batteries, user replaceable
Battery Life 1 year, typical with logging interval of 1 minute and Bluetooth Always On enabled; 2 years, typical with logging interval of 1 minute and Bluetooth Always On disabled; and temperatures between 0° and 50°C (32° and 122°F). Faster logging intervals and statistics sampling intervals, burst logging, remaining connected with the app, excessive downloads, and paging may impact battery life.

Angler-Driven Citizen Science: Monitoring Black Bass Populations in Arkansas

In Arkansas, the rugged terrain of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains dominates the north and west, eventually yielding to the vast, fertile flatlands of the Mississippi River Delta to the east. Hundreds of reservoirs and lakes punctuate the landscape, while swift streams snake through the valleys and hills, eventually giving way to the slow-moving rivers and bayous in the south. The waterways of the state are teeming with life. Black bass dominate most of these ecosystems and have drawn anglers for centuries. The most sought-after fish in one of the country's most prominent fishing states, Arkansas treasures its black bass populations.

New Buoy Boosts White Lake’s Water Quality Monitoring and Conservation

White Lake in Western Michigan is a vestige of North America’s glacial past, and gets its name from an interpretation of the Indian, “Wabish-Sippe,” meaning the river with white clay. The twin towns of Whitehall and Montague, which nestle on White Lake’s shore, have shared a close connection with the lake since their foundation–from the growth of the lumbering industry, to industrializsation, the expansion of tourism, and most recently, environmental protection. The White Lake Association (WLA) was founded in 1988 by residents concerned about proposed development at the lake’s northern end.

Flow Photo Explorer: Studying Flows in the Penobscot River Basin

The flow dynamics of rivers and streams play an essential role in the chemical and physical functions of aquatic ecosystems. In Maine, varying flows in the Penobscot River Basin have impacted the health of the ecosystem, water resource use, and habitat suitability for native species—topics of particular concern to the Penobscot Indian Nation , who have been protecting and managing the waterway for millennia. Parts of the Penobscot basin have been monitored by the USGS stream gage network, which covers larger streams and rivers but excludes many of the small streams found on tribal lands.
