BlueBugBox (BBB)
The BlueBugBox (BBB) is a microprocessor-controlled computer with battery backup that
uses your existing high-speed internet connection to transmit weather data out to the
WeatherBug network. It receives live input from the remote TRH sensor, processes and
stores the data in its non-volatile electronic memory, and distributes it. The BlueBugBox also
houses the barometric pressure, indoor temperature, and optional Auxiliary Temperature
Sensor.
The signals from the remote TRH sensor come through the main Data Cable into the
BlueBugBox. It is essential that there are no sharp bends or crimps in the cable. The cable
should be protected (stabilized) where it passes through the exterior wall.
The BlueBugBox has two additional outputs to the optional Digital Display and an optional
computer.
FRONT OF BLUEBUGBOX (BBB)
The BlueBugBox stores data at a default rate of once per hour. This rate may be re-set to
intervals of between one minute and up to one hour. Up to four months of data at the one-
hour interval is stored in the BBB.
The BlueBugBox's internal battery backup prevents data loss during power outages for up to
12 hours. The BBB is designed to continue transmitting weather data during power outages
as long as the network is powered. Once power is restored, the battery automatically
recharges and the BBB will automatically resume sending current and historical data.
