Monitor the key indicators of your soil’s health with our advanced IP68 RS485 Soil Moisture, Temperature, and Electrical Conductivity (EC) Sensor, designed for both mineral soils and substrates like rockwool, potting soil, and coco peat, offering precise measurements essential for optimizing plant growth by integrating VWC readings derived from measuring the dielectric constant, and providing the accuracy needed for greenhouses, outdoor farms, and environmental monitoring.
We offer the SenseCAP S2100 - LoRaWAN® Data Logger and SenseCAP Sensor Hub 4G Data Logger suitable for RS485 sensors, you can transmit the sensor data to public LoRaWAN® network servers(Helium, TTN, etc.,) or MQTT private servers.
Output Interface | RS485, Modbus-RTU |
Power Supply | 3.9-28V/DC |
Power Consumption | RS485: Quiescent Current : <4mA Measuring Current : <20mA during 150ms measurement |
Substrate Moisture Measurement | Apparent Dielectric Permittivity: Range:1-81 (air - water); Resolution: 0.1(1-40), 0.5(40.00-81); Accuracy: ±1(1-40), ±10% of Readings(40-81);
