Soil water potential sensor

AGIoT-0021 is an energy-autonomous integrated system for mapping the conditions of soil (water potential and  temperature). This advanced system is ideal for various applications, offering a reliable solution for soil condition monitoring and efficient water management.  In agriculture, the system optimizes soil moisture and temperature, enhancing crop growth and productivity. In agricultural fields, it allows continuous monitoring of soil conditions, improving irrigation practices and resource utilization. Gardens also benefit from the system by maintaining healthy plant environments through precise water distribution, promoting plant development. Green spaces rely on this system for efficient water management in public areas, ensuring their sustainability and reducing waste. In greenhouses, the system provides accurate control of soil conditions, creating ideal environments for plant growth, which enhances production and improves crop quality. Industries and small to medium enterprises use the system to optimize water usage and soil-based processes, improving efficiency and reducing resource waste. Finally, forested areas use the system to monitor soil health and temperature fluctuations, providing valuable data that supports ecosystem sustainability and helps in managing forest resources. 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 water potential 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.
