Wireless Self-Draining Rain Gauge Froggit DP80

The Froggit DP80 is a wireless self‑draining rain gauge designed to bring precise rainfall measurement to your home, farm or professional site. Its self‑emptying tipping‑bucket mechanism captures rain reliably and drains automatically to keep readings continuous in long events. With real‑time data in the WS View app and seamless pairing to the Froggit ecosystem, it delivers the insight you need to protect crops, schedule irrigation and validate local weather. The DP80 is a sensor‑only device and requires a compatible gateway or display unit such as the DP1500 Wi‑Fi Gateway or the HP1000SE PRO. Installation is quick, alignment is simple thanks to the integrated level, and the battery‑powered design keeps maintenance low.
