Soil moisture sensor

Model

AGIoT-0054

AGIoT-0054 is an energy-autonomous integrated system for mapping the conditions of soil. This advanced system is ideal for various applications, offering a reliable solution for soil moisture monitoring and water management. In fields, the system enables real-time monitoring of soil moisture, optimizing irrigation to enhance crop productivity. This helps ensure that water is used efficiently, contributing to increased yields. Gardens benefit from the system as it maintains healthy plant growth through precise water distribution, ensuring the optimal conditions for development. Similarly, green spaces rely on the system for effective water management in parks and landscaped areas, ensuring sustainability and minimizing resource waste. In greenhouses, the system offers precise control over soil moisture, creating ideal conditions for plant growth and maximizing productivity. This leads to healthier plants and better crop yields. Industries and small to medium-sized enterprises use the system to optimize water usage in soil-based processes, reducing waste and improving overall efficiency, which results in enhanced productivity and lower costs. Research institutions also leverage the system for soil studies and analyses, strengthening scientific knowledge and supporting the development of better environmental practices. Finally, forested areas benefit from the system as it monitors soil health and moisture conditions, playing a key role in maintaining the ecological balance and supporting the long-term sustainability of ecosystems. Through these applications, the system contributes to better resource management, increased productivity, and environmental preservation across various sectors. The system consists of a data logging unit (node), a soil moisture sensor and a photovoltaic panel.

The node comes with 2G/4G/GPRS/EDGE/NB-IoT connectivity via a built-in SIM card (which is provided with free of charge lifetime internet connection), while the user can access the soil moisture sensor data via the remote control and management software.

From this software (in the form of a web app or app for mobile phones) the user can be informed on the latest measurements, historical data, weather forecast, control the system remotely, export data, set alerts and create automations.

The system can be installed practically anywhere due to its small size, solar panel power supply and waterproof construction (IP67), while no specialized knowledge is required for its installation, as it has been designed with a plug-and-play architecture. In addition, it is possible to remotely restart the system or mobile network if an error is encountered.

The system is manufactured by AGENSO and comes with a two (2) year warranty.
