Getting up and running is simpler than you might think. We handle the technical side — you just tell us what you want to monitor.
No technical knowledge required on your end.
Get in touch and describe your setup — what you're trying to monitor, how spread out your property is, and whether you already have any LoRaWAN infrastructure. We'll recommend the right sensors and advise whether you need a gateway.
The sensors are yours to keep — no leasing, no lock-in contracts. We'll point you to the right hardware for your situation and provide clear guidance on installation. Most sensors are straightforward to physically mount.
We configure the data pipeline, set up your dashboard, and connect your alert preferences. Once you're live, monitoring your property is as simple as opening a webpage on your phone. Ongoing cost: from $10 AUD per active device per month, with the dashboard and SMS alerts included.
An end-to-end platform — from the sensor in the paddock to the graph on your phone.
Visualise measurements over time — tank levels, channel depths, rainfall, fence voltage, and more. Look at the last hour, or go back as far as your records go.
Set upper and lower thresholds per device. Get an SMS or email the moment a reading goes outside the range you care about — before small problems become big ones.
Know where your equipment is, and get notified if it moves unexpectedly. Helpful for large properties and increasingly important given the rise in farm equipment theft.
If your question isn't here, just get in touch.
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a wireless communication protocol designed for low-power sensors that need to transmit data over long distances. Unlike mobile data, it works reliably across most rural properties and doesn't depend on mobile tower coverage. The majority of our sensors connect via LoRaWAN, making it well suited to the Australian farming context where mobile coverage can be patchy or non-existent.
Not necessarily. If there's already a LoRaWAN network in range of your property (including community or commercial networks), your sensors can connect through that. If not, we'll advise on adding a gateway as part of your setup. We'll let you know before you buy anything.
No. We handle the configuration, pipeline setup, and onboarding. Day-to-day use is just opening a web page on your phone or computer. If you can check your email, you can use CYF.
CYF is a web application, so it works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, Android, tablets, laptops, desktops. There's nothing to install. Most farmers use it on their phone.
Easy. Just get in touch and we'll advise on the additional hardware and add it to your dashboard. You only pay for active devices, so there's no penalty for starting small and expanding later.
No. The monthly fee is per active device with no lock-in. If you decommission a sensor, you stop paying for it. The hardware is yours outright from day one.
Tell us what you're trying to monitor and we'll take it from there.
