Onset's HOBO MX1101 data logger measures and transmits temperature and relative humidity data wirelessly to mobile devices or Windows computers via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology.
The self-contained wireless data logger works with your mobile device or Windows computer and Onset's free HOBOconnect app so you can configure the logger and read out data over a 100-foot range, with no other dedicated equipment required. Using Onset's free app, you can also view data in graphs, check the operational status of loggers, configure alarm notifications, and share data files.
Add the MX Gateway for remote access to your data in Onset's cloud-based HOBOlink software.
Temperature Sensor | |
Range | -20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F) |
Accuracy | ±0.21°C from 0° to 50°C (±0.38°F from 32° to 122°F) |
Resolution | 0.024°C at 25°C (0.04°F at 77°F) |
Drift | <0.1°C (0.18°F) per year |
RH Sensor* | |
Range | 1% to 90%, non-condensing |
Accuracy | ±2.0% from 20% RH to 80% RH typical to a maximum of ±4.5% including hysteresis at 25˚C (77˚F); below 20% RH and above 80% RH ±6% typical |
Resolution | 0.01% |
Drift | <1% per year typical |
Response Time | |
Temperature | 7:30 minutes in air moving 1 m/s (2.2 mph) |
RH | 20 seconds to 90% in airflow of 1 m/s (2.2 mph) |
Logger | |
Radio Power | 1 mW (0 dBm) |
Transmission Range | Approximately 30.5 m (100 ft) line-of-sight |
Wireless Data Standard | Bluetooth Smart (Bluetooth Low Energy, Bluetooth 4.0) |
Logger Operating Range | -20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F); 0 to 95% RH (non-condensing) |
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 Life | 1 year, typical with logging interval of 1 minute. Faster logging and/or statistics sampling intervals, entering burst logging mode, and remaining connected with the app will impact battery life. Excessive readouts, audible alarms, and paging all impact battery life. Visual alarms and other events can have a marginal impact on battery life. |
Battery Type | Two AAA 1.5 V alkaline batteries, user replaceable |
Memory | 128 KB (84,650 measurements, maximum) |
Full Memory Download Time | Approximately 60 seconds; may take longer the further the device is from the logger |
LCD | LCD is visible from 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F); the LCD may react slowly or go blank in temperatures outside this range |
Size | 3.66 x 8.48 x 2.29 cm (1.44 x 3.34 x 0.9 in.) |
Weight | 56 g (1.98 oz) |

Onset HOBO RX3000 Remote Soil Monitoring Station
The Onset HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station is an environmental monitoring system that continuously logs data from compatible sensors that measure soil moisture, water level, temperature and various weather parameters. With numerous options for remote monitoring systems, Onset provides a Build-a-system configurator to help with ordering a system fit for any project’s needs. The configurator easily guides the user through the process of selecting different types of communication, power, sensor and other site-specific requirement selections when building their ideal system. 
 
 The RX3000 ships with mounting plates and hardware, rubber cable channels, rubber plugs, grease, grounding wire and U-bolts.

Lake Malawi (also known as Lake Nyasa and Lake Niassa) doubles as a Rift Valley Lake and one of the seven African Great Lakes. Due to its unique biodiversity, it’s a great place to conduct limnological studies. Harvey Bootsma is a professor for the School of Freshwater Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and has had an interest in limnology ever since he was a kid. Bootsma fondly recalls summer vacations to Georgian Bay, Ontario, “I probably spent as much time in the water as I did out of it.” He continues, "I remember telling myself, ‘I’m going to get a job where I can stay here all the time.’” While Harvey didn’t end up working on Georgian Bay, he was offered a job working on Lake Malawi. He continued working there while completing his Ph.D.

Aquatic ecosystems are incredibly complex, with many different biotic and abiotic factors constantly interacting. Microbial communities are a key part of aquatic ecosystems, involved in the constant flow of energy and recycling of organic matter, according to Science Direct . The true scope of microbial community impacts on aquatic ecosystems is still not entirely understood. Eric Benbow, a professor of community ecology at Michigan State University, is exploring how microbial communities and pathogens may be negatively impacting human health, and how a changing climate could worsen this problem. 
 How Do Pathogens Arise? 
 Benbow, along with his students and colleagues, are studying a realm of community ecology that is still relatively unknown.
