Soil Moisture and Conductivity Sensor
The ZenoSmart LoRaWAN Soil Moisture & EC Sensor precisely measures the moisture level and electrical conductivity (EC) of soil in agricultural fields and transmits the data to the IoT server over the LoRaWAN network. In this way, irrigation and fertilization processes can be automated, reducing resource use and optimizing plant growth.
ZenoSmart Soil Moisture and Conductivity Sensor contributes to efficient agricultural practices by continuously monitoring soil moisture and conductivity values in fields, greenhouses and gardens. The sensor can be easily installed with cables and data can be tracked with detailed settings via the IoT platform. The default data transmission interval is 15 minutes, but can be easily changed according to user needs.
Thanks to the ZenoSmart online platform, you can remotely monitor sensor data and receive daily, weekly or monthly reports. With LTE, Wi-Fi or Helium network, cost-effective and efficient monitoring systems can be set up over large agricultural areas. The sensor provides reliable measurements across different soil types, ensuring irrigation and fertilization decisions are based on real-time data.
This saves water and fertilizer, supports healthy plant growth and maximizes agricultural yield. The ZenoSmart Soil Moisture and Conductivity Sensor is the ideal solution for modern agriculture with its precise measurements and IoT-based control features.
