We just rolled out QR labels on 42 exterior stations at the Eastside community garden and paired a few with Bluetooth rodent sensors to cut truck rolls and minimize bait use. If you’ve tested weatherproof QR materials or low-drift sensors that won’t false-trigger in rain, which models held up, and how did you share readouts with volunteers without burning batteries?
UV-laminated polycarbonate QR + 3M 9472LE held up; set BLE to event-only beacons — for your ‘42 exterior stations,’ which sensors?
It sounds like you’re really streamlining things! For those sensors, I found that using a power-saving mode helps a lot — think of it like putting your phone on airplane mode between texts. Have you tried anything similar to extend battery life?
