EasyBloom Forum

It says 24 hours, but I'm just curious how long one could leave an EasyBloom in place to monitor an area before recommendations are made. I just uploaded my first data and noted that it covered two days because I forgot about it. Up to how many hours/days can it record and hold data before uploading?

The EasyBloom can hold up to three weeks of data. After that, the data will wrap (overwrite the oldest). We need at least 24 hours to get a "plant's view" of a day.

So you can take a reading anywhere from 24 hours to three weeks? Will the recommendations change much after two days? a week? two weeks? I guess I don't want to tie up my sensor for three weeks UNLESS I get more refined recommendations.

Hi Sandra, Great question! There is no need to deploy the sensor for more than 24 hours in Recommend mode. We have developed patent-pending algorithms that normalize any reading that is less than three weeks to the previous three weeks weather data. So if you leave the sensor out on a cloudy day, but the previous 20 days were sunny, EasyBloom tweaks the light reading up to what it would have been if you left the sensor out a full three weeks. We spent quite a bit of time figuring this out, so you don't have to wait three weeks for recommendations. Cheers! Matt
