Overview
Rugged and Bluetooth-enabled, the MX2308 delivers research-grade monitoring of key growing conditions—photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), temperature and relative humidity—all in a single device. Whether you’re growing plants in a commercial greenhouse, managing indoor vertical farms, fine-tuning conditions in hydroponic systems, or conducting agricultural or ecological research, the MX2308 gives you the data you need to optimize conditions for growth, health, and productivity.
Built for simplicity and flexibility, this all-in-one logger integrates with the LI-COR 190R PAR sensor, the industry standard for light measurement that's trusted by researchers worldwide for its precision in measuring photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). This versatile logger is designed to operate reliably across diverse environments, from high-tech vertical farming racks to outdoor experimental plots to support informed decisions around lighting, ventilation, and irrigation without the complexity or high costs of traditional monitoring systems:
Examples of Monitoring Applications for the MX2308 Temp/RH/PAR Logger:
- Growers, Farmers & Producers: Helps optimize growing conditions, improve yield consistency, and reduce disease risk for commercial greenhouse and indoor farming operators and hydroponic/aquaponic growers by monitoring where it matters most.em 1 text.
- Researchers & Educators: Wireless setup and data retrieval enable flexible deployment across experimental sites, with data quality ideal for agricultural researchers, plant scientists, and university programs without the budgetary or logistical barriers typical of research-grade systems.
- Ag Tech & Innovation Teams: Ease of deployment and integration-ready data formats make an ideal sensor platform for prototyping or scaled trials needed for companies innovating in lighting optimization and climate control solutions.
Setup and data retrieval are seamlessly simple—no cables or additional download devices needed using the free HOBOconnect app on your phone or tablet. Effortlessly configure the logger and download data via Bluetooth (up to a 100 ft range), which allows you to deploy in and download data from hard-to-reach spots.
Expand your remote monitoring by adding an MX Data Plan, which allows you to upload data to LI-COR Cloud remote software for further analysis, sharing, and more.

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.
