Lake Macquarie City Council through its Smart Cities program of works collects environmental monitoring data using sensors on Council’s Community IoT Network. Data collected includes temperature, humidity, air quality (PM10, PM2.5, PM1, Carbon monoxide, Ozone, Nitrogen Dioxide), wind speed, wind direction, precipitation and solar radiation.

This realtime dataset comes from Netvox R712 sensors that measure temperature and humidity. These sensors have been deployed as part of Council's Adopt a Sensor Program.

Data from these sensors is being collected via Council's Community IoT Network - The Things Network.
