Questions operators ask before they order

A subscription monitoring service from Reotemp Instruments. Wireless probes send temperatures to the cloud around the clock, and the software gives you live dashboards, text and email alerts, and automatically generated reports. CompostWatch serves compost operators. RailcarWatch serves rail terminals.

Windrows, aerated static piles and mulch production. Probe length and sensor count are chosen at order time to suit the pile.

Every probe has its own built-in cellular connection and reports on its own. There is no hub, antenna or receiver to install, and one probe going down never affects the rest. See how it works.

No. The probes connect over cellular on their own. Nothing touches your network.

Probes are built for heat, direct sun, snow, freezing, rain and high-temperature composting, with a proprietary corrosion-proof sheath proven in compost. Some sites are still running probes installed more than 15 years ago. The design is modular, so a stem, radio or battery can be replaced on site. Probes are made in the USA under ISO 9001.

Two years. Replacement batteries are included in the subscription and ship to you. They swap in the field with quick-disconnect connectors.

Every 15 minutes. Probes transmit the stored readings about once an hour, and more often when temperatures are changing quickly.

It keeps recording. All readings are stored on the probe and sent once the connection is back, so there is no gap in your record.

Plus or minus 2 F.

We replace it as part of the subscription.

No. The dashboard is a web app that runs on any phone, tablet or computer.

CompostWatch generates a PFRP and VAR report for each batch with daily temperatures, a graph, operator, feedstocks and comments. RailcarWatch generates a batch temperature report plus a CSV of every reading. View a sample compost report.

Hundreds of operators submit CompostWatch reports for state compliance. Customers also use them to support OMRI compliance and the California Leafy Green Marketing Agreement, and local enforcement agencies rely on them.

Set high and low temperature thresholds per pile, or per material for railcars. When a threshold is crossed you receive a text or email.

Temperature history is stored for two years. Raw data can be exported to Excel or CSV at any time for long-term storage.

Yes. Events and comments are recorded with a timestamp and appear on the batch report.
