EvoDevice Product Selection Guide

Choose by what you need to measure.

EvoDevice products cover different measurement and monitoring jobs. Start with the question you are trying to answer, then choose the tool designed for that job.

EVO10 vs EVO-20 vs EVO-100 vs X100 vs PARCLIP vs EVO-Solar

These six tools overlap around plant and outdoor measurement, but they answer different questions. Choose based on whether you need root-zone monitoring, full-day DLI, fixed-position WiFi PAR/UVA monitoring, handheld PAR/PPFD measurement, quick iPhone-based PAR/PPFD checks, or solar irradiance and accumulated solar energy.

Choose EVO10 when soil and root-zone conditions matter.

EVO10 combines soil moisture and root-zone temperature with Daily Light Integral, making it the plant-monitoring choice when conditions around the roots are part of the decision.

Best fit: ongoing soil, root-zone and daily plant-light monitoring.

Choose EVO-20 when DLI is the main question.

EVO-20 is the focused choice when you want to measure how much plant-usable light accumulates across the day instead of relying on one momentary light reading.

Best fit: dedicated DLI measurement with 10-day history for sunlight or grow-light locations.

Choose EVO-100 for fixed-position WiFi PAR/UVA monitoring.

EVO-100 is designed to stay at one canopy-level location and monitor PPFD/PAR and UVA over WiFi, with Day, Month and Year curves for greenhouses, grow rooms and changing sunlight.

Best fit: remote monitoring of how plant light changes over time at one fixed position.

Choose X100 for handheld PAR/PPFD measurement.

X100 is the handheld choice for total PAR/PPFD together with UVA and red, green and blue PAR components. It also supports DLI estimation, light-uniformity mapping and XLSX data export.

Best fit: moving between measurement points, comparing grow-light coverage and documenting results.

Choose PARCLIP for quick iPhone PAR/PPFD checks.

PARCLIP uses a compact clip-on diffuser with an iPhone-based workflow for spot PAR/PPFD comparisons under grow lights or sunlight.

Best fit: compact, phone-based PPFD spot checks without carrying a separate handheld PAR meter.

Choose EVO-Solar for solar resource measurement.

EVO-Solar measures instantaneous solar irradiance and accumulated solar radiation energy rather than plant-specific PAR/PPFD or DLI.

Best fit: measuring W/m² and accumulated kWh/m² for solar-site and outdoor exposure comparisons.
Quick comparison

Which plant or outdoor tool fits your measurement task?

Use the measurement question first. Product format comes second.

If your main question is... Recommended tool Why
How wet is the root zone, and what temperature are the roots experiencing? EVO10 Soil moisture + root-zone temperature + DLI trends.
How much plant-usable light accumulates during the whole day? EVO-20 Dedicated Daily Light Integral measurement and daily history.
How do PPFD/PAR and UVA change over time at one fixed canopy location? EVO-100 Fixed-position WiFi monitoring with Day, Month and Year curves.
I need handheld PAR/PPFD, UVA and RGB PAR measurements at multiple points. X100 Portable spot measurements, uniformity mapping, DLI estimation and XLSX export.
I want quick PAR/PPFD spot checks with an iPhone. PARCLIP Compact clip-on diffuser and iPhone-based measurement workflow.
I need solar power and accumulated solar-energy measurements. EVO-Solar Instantaneous W/m² plus accumulated kWh/m².
Simple choice: fixed WiFi PAR/UVA monitoring → EVO-100; handheld PAR/UVA/RGB measurement → X100; iPhone PAR/PPFD spot checks → PARCLIP; dedicated DLI → EVO-20; soil + root-zone monitoring → EVO10; solar irradiance + energy → EVO-Solar.
Light & UV

E130 vs E-ABI

These products measure different parts of the optical spectrum and should not be treated as interchangeable.

Question E130 E-ABI
Main use White-light measurement UV measurement
Lux Yes Not the main purpose
CCT Yes Not the main purpose
Spectral distribution Supported phosphor-converted white LEDs Not positioned as a white-light spectrum meter
UVI / UVA / UVB Not the UV-focused choice Yes
Typical selection Choose for white LED Lux, CCT and supported spectral distribution Choose for reptile/basking-zone UV checks with UVI, UVA and UVB
Simple choice: choose E130 for white-light measurement; choose E-ABI for UV measurement.
Vehicle air quality

Choose EVO-CO2V when the question is cabin CO₂.

EVO-CO2V is designed for in-vehicle carbon-dioxide monitoring using compatible 12V/24V vehicle accessory power.

What it does not replace

A CO₂ monitor does not detect carbon monoxide (CO). EVO-CO2V is not a replacement for a certified carbon-monoxide alarm.

Power & surge protection

WFSPD2ULTRA vs ALSPD2CORE

Both are panel-mounted whole-house surge-protection products. The main selection question is whether you want the more connected monitoring experience or a simpler local-status approach.

Selection question WFSPD2ULTRA ALSPD2CORE
Installation category Panel-mounted whole-house SPD Panel-mounted whole-house SPD
Monitoring style Connected / smart monitoring focus Simpler local-status focus
Choose when You want surge protection plus connected status/monitoring features You want a simpler whole-house surge-protection setup with local status indication
Both products are panel-mounted whole-house SPDs. They should not be confused with plug-in outlet surge strips.
