About

IML Tree Motion

Features
Read full description

This App is used to control the PiCUS Tree Motion Sensor 3 (PTMS 3) from IML Electronic. The main function of this application is to start and stop the measurements of the PTMS 3 with the correct configuration. Bluetooth 4/5 is used for communication as the PTMS 3 are completely sealed to protect them from dust and water. It is also beneficial to have location tracking enabled on the mobile device to tell the PTMS 3 the actual geographical position and direction at the start of the measurement.
