Soil Temperature and Humidity Sensor
The Zenopix Soil Temperature and Humidity Sensor measures the temperature and humidity in the lower layers of the soil with high precision to automatically and efficiently manage agricultural irrigation processes. The sensor, which can run on battery or electricity, transmits data to IoT platforms over the LoRaWAN network. It is very practical to install; after the battery is installed, it automatically establishes a connection with the LoRaWAN Gateway and starts measurements when the probe is placed in the soil.
Zenopix LoRaWAN Soil Temperature and Humidity Sensor has been developed to increase productivity and optimize plant health by instantly monitoring soil moisture and temperature values in agricultural areas. The sensor, which transmits data every 15 minutes by default, can be easily adjusted according to user needs via the IoT platform. Optimization is recommended according to usage conditions as battery life may be shortened when data transmission frequency increases. Daily, weekly or monthly reports can be obtained via ZenoSmart.com and past measurements can be analyzed in detail
With LTE or Wi-Fi enabled LoRaWAN gateways, large agricultural areas can be monitored at low cost and coverage can be easily increased thanks to the Helium network. The sensor provides balanced irrigation and healthy plant growth by measuring moisture and temperature at the sub-root level on various surfaces such as lawns, golf courses, parks and sports fields. In addition, subsoil water leaks in critical areas can be detected early, preventing both water waste and potential agricultural damage.
The Zenopix LoRaWAN Soil Temperature and Moisture Sensor delivers highly accurate measurement for IoT-based smart agriculture solutions. It supports sustainable agricultural practices, helps efficient irrigation scheduling and reduces environmental impact by saving water. It is an ideal sensor solution to increase efficiency in agricultural production, protect plant health and achieve sustainable agriculture goals in the long term.

What data does the Zenopix Soil Temperature and Moisture Sensor measure?
The sensor measures soil moisture and temperature with high accuracy. These data help optimize agricultural irrigation processes, preventing over- or under-watering, saving water, and promoting healthy plant growth. -
How does the sensor work and how is it installed?
The Zenopix sensor can operate on battery or electricity. Once the battery is installed, it automatically connects to the LoRaWAN gateway, and when the probe is placed in the soil, it starts collecting data. No additional technical setup is required — the device begins operating automatically and, by default, sends data every 15 minutes. -
How are the data monitored and analyzed?
All measurement data are transmitted via the LoRaWAN network to the IoT platform and can be viewed on zenosmart.com in daily, weekly, or monthly reports. Users can analyze this data to optimize irrigation scheduling and resource usage. Additionally, support for the Helium network allows easy expansion of coverage.
