Soil pH Sensor
ZenoSmart LoRaWAN Soil pH Sensor precisely measures the pH level and temperature of soil in agricultural fields and transmits the data to cloud platforms via the LoRaWAN network. With its IP68-certified waterproof probe, it is suitable for long-term underground use. The sensor continuously collects data in fields, greenhouses, or gardens, contributing to efficient farming practices, and operates on a 3.6V battery while automatically communicating with the LoRaWAN Gateway. The default data transmission interval is 15 minutes, which can be adjusted as needed.
Through ZenoSmart’s online platform, devices can be remotely monitored, and soil health can be analyzed with daily, weekly, or monthly reports. The sensor helps maintain the critical pH balance required for healthy plant growth, optimizes fertilizer usage, and reduces environmental impact. With LTE, Wi-Fi, or the Helium network, large areas can be monitored efficiently and cost-effectively.
