A SapSpy Metering Node keeps track of the total sap collected in a sugarbush at each electric releaser. The metering node tracks the total gallons or liters pumped at every 5 minute interval. Within the Sap Spy web app, we then calculate and visualize the following:

Total gallons for the season
Total gallons/tap for the season
Gallons/reading
Gallons/Hour
Gallons/Day
Gallons/Tap/Day

This data helps you track your total production for the season helping you optimize your operation. Data is maintained year over year for ongoing seasonal comparisons.

Metering nodes will be a limited release for the 2025 season. Customers who purchase a limited release version will have an opportunity for a free upgrade if hardware changes are required.

A Sap Spy metering node is simply a pulse counter. It is universal and operates with any water meter that produces a pulse output. If you already have a water meter with pulse output capability, there is no need to replace it. Simply use this node directly.

If you don't already have a metering node, one can be purchased separately.

Pulse counting can also be used to count the total number of dump cycles from a mechanical releaser allowing you to track total volume of sap processed and average time taken between dump cycles. This requires a magnetic reed switch also sold separately.
