In earth science, we must often move and store tremendous amounts of data from remote locations. Present options are typically limited to costly proprietary devices which are rigid in structure and require numerous ongoing expenses. The Openly Published Environmental Sensing (OPEnS) Lab at Oregon State University developed the OPEnS Hub, a new approach using low-power, open-source hardware and software to achieve near real-time data logging from the field to the web. The Hub is two orders of magnitude less expensive than commercial products, inherently modular and flexible, and aims to reduce technical barriers for users with little programming experience. Data can be collected remotely from nearly anywhere on Earth using a host of transmission protocols to relay data from distributed in-situ monitoring devices. Telemetry options include 900 MHz Long Range Radio (LoRa) with up to 25 km range and Nordic Radio Frequency (nRF) for higher data rates. Internet gateways include the established cell network infrastructure, Wi-Fi for high bandwidth applications, and Ethernet where available. The OPEnS Hub is capable of mesh networking with several nodes and backs up to an onboard microSD card. The Hub engages a dynamic, low-latency portal to Google Sheets via the free Application Programming Interface (API), PushingBox, and an adaptable Google Apps Script. This framework was tested on 12 unique sensor suites at remote sites in Oregon. This manuscript details our methods and evaluates PushingBox, Google Apps Script, Adafruit Industries’ open-hardware Feather development boards, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and the foregoing modes of data transfer.
