💧 Pūkeko Signals Water Pressure Sensor
Solar-powered water pressure monitoring designed for New Zealand farms. Connects via the One NZ NB-IoT network for reliable long-range communication - even in remote locations. Install it at the tank, the pump, or anywhere along the pipeline - wherever works best for your setup. Alerts you by SMS when pressure drops, so you know about a problem before the trough runs dry. Works equally well on scheme-fed systems - if you're on a council or private water scheme, the sensor monitors pressure at your connection point and alerts you to a burst line or disconnected fitting before it becomes a large water bill.
