Dear customer,

Stalker and Xbee Carrier is different board, I think Stalker is more powerful.
But XBee Carrier is more portable.
So how you use with them depend on you.

Xbee Carrier was enough for me. I don’t need sd card or rtc.
Only the sensors I need to read are sended by wifi to a computer and just need 2 sensors on each node.
Why wifi ? Because it dont need extra usb stuff (Bee, RF, etc…) connected to the computer.
And usefull to made nodes talking together.

@yuriq

Anyway I’m not mean that you should throw away.
But I still not understand what you need with wireless and the temp/hum sensor.
If you just want to get some value from sensor then send back to you.
You need to consider wireless just as the cell phone you also can’t talk too much time with battery.
It is a lot of way can save your power.

It’s not only temp/hum, but wished to add pressure.
and some other nodes with soil, etc…

1.Add a bigger solar panel or more until can support them.
2.Control your wireless bee via code, turn off WIFI when you no need to use it.
3.Or you can find a movable power supply to it.

So why not sell a bigger solar panel, considering that you already know the other is not enough ?
I’m trusted your kit, your are professional.
1- It take me some time to have the necessary money, and with this bad choice, it’s like i’ve loose my money.
2- It’s now the only solution.
3 -I’dont want to add/buy extra power, I trusted you kit and your work.

@yuriq

But sorry we not support software that you should solve by yourself.

Best regards,

Yuri
