The Farmo Rain Gauge Pro provides real-time, high-precision rainfall data (measured in 0.2mm increments) directly to your phone, allowing you to monitor weather patterns across your entire property, no Wi-Fi or external power required. Make more informed decisions on spraying, sowing, and stock movements without leaving the house. Don't rely on distant or unreliable BOM data to check rain levels.

When every millimetre of soil moisture counts, the Rain Gauge Pro delivers high-precision rainfall data directly to your phone. The Farmo Rain Gauge is a robust sensor, built to last with an ASA outer shell, resistant to UV, frost and heat. Our patented single-spoon tipping design avoids the wear drift common in dual-spoon gauges, ensuring data readings stay accurate over time. The device uses long-range NB-IoT/Cat-M1 connectivity to transmit data from remote locations where standard mobile signals are weak. The rain gauge pro measures rainfall in 0.2mm increments and updates to your live feed every 15 minutes, giving you a live look at how much moisture is actually hitting the ground.

Data Includes:

  • Rain Today (Running total for the day)
  • Rain This Month
  • Rain This Month versus closest BOM 30 year average
  • Rain This Year
  • Rain (Incremental increase throughout the day)

Alerts

  • Rain Today

Simply mount the rain gauge pro to a level post in a clear, open area using the included bracket. As rain enters the rain collector, the internal tipping bucket records every 0.2mm of rain to the Farmo App, where it is aggregated into daily, weekly, and monthly totals, providing you with comprehensive data across your property. The Farmo App also allows you to compare your rainfall against official long-term rainfall average records in your area. The Farmo App will find the nearest official weather station based on your rain gauge's location, giving you a reliable benchmark to measure your data against long-term trends.

Tipping spoon rain gauges are known as the most accurate of rain measuring devices, but they can be affected if spiders or ants get inside and build webs or nests. It depends on the location and the time of the year, but you should check every few months and apply preventive measures if required. Some customers use insect deterrent sprays effectively.

How Our Customers Use Farmo to Stay Ahead

Improve on data from a distant BOM station

Check exactly how many millimetres fell at a specific location on your property from your phone. Rainfall can vary a lot across properties and even between paddocks, so farmers use on-farm rain gauges to see what actually fell at their own site.

Improve Spraying Decisions

Check your paddock rain data to see if conditions are right for spraying. In orchards and vineyards, rainfall is a key trigger for many disease events. Remote automatic gauges are used as part of weather monitoring to assess infection risk and respond sooner.

Compare Data & Plan better

Compare your seasonal rain fall to the official long term average from the nearest BOM station and use these in sights to make earlier decisions around stocking rates, supplementary feeding, containment and selling stock.

Link to pump control and Irrigation scheduling

Use the Farmo App to link your rain data to a Farmo IoT Switch for irrigation or remote pump control. Automatic rain gauges help irrigators avoid watering after useful rain, fine-tune irrigation timing, and improve water-use efficiency.

FAQs

The Pro version features a larger 200mm diameter collector which provides higher accuracy (0.2mm incremental reads vs 1mm on the standard), especially in variable wind conditions or high-intensity storms.

While the device typically reports status updates every few hours to save battery, it “wakes up” when it is raining, reporting every 15 minutes in 0.2mm increments. When it is not raining, the device sends a daily “heartbeat” to confirm it is operating.

No. The unit has a pre-installed NB-IoT/Cat-M1 SIM card. It operates on the same long-range cellular towers used by your mobile phone, but with much better penetration. If you have even a basic mobile signal at the site, the device will connect. In the event that the connection is lost, the Rain Gauge Pro will keep counting. Once the connection resumes, the rainfall total will be updated on the next message sent.

The Farmo App allows you to compare your rainfall against official long term rainfall average records in your area. The Farmo App will find the nearest official weather station based on your rain gauge's location, giving you a reliable benchmark to measure your data against long-term trends.

The Rain Gauge has been working well ..we've got a property that's 150km from our home block and it lets us know if we need to head out there when there's been a big storm or when we have had rain we might not need to rush out there cause we know the stock will be fine. We've got it away from our manual rain gauge so you can see a bit of variability in the rainfall over the place, and it helps with planting and all those sorts of things. It's been a good product.

I had a real problem getting accurate and up to date rain data on our farm in far east Gippsland when I spend most of the time in Melbourne. The rain gauge through Farmo solved the problem and the support and backup with questions was great.

Very happy with the Farmo Rain Gauge. Got 3 of these now, one on each of our properties. Tracks rainfall well and easy to see all the data in the Farmo App.
