Details Additional Info Data Sheet Manual
An important tool for soil condition monitoring. Milesight's LoRaWAN® soil sensor is ideal for arable farming, grassland such as golf courses, greenhouses and areas where soil quality is of utmost importance.
Available in two variations, users of this LoRaWAN® soil sensor can choose from the EM500-SMT soil moisture sensor or for advanced monitoring, the EM500-SMTC combines soil moisture, temperature and electrical conductivity sensors in one.
This simple-to-install device enables rapid monitoring of growing conditions and can be configured to alert you when action is required to maintain optimal conditions.
We can supply third-party online wireless sensor monitoring and notification system to view data and set alerts via SMS text and email. Ask us about our zero-touch provisioning service, this sensor can be supplied pre-configured and ready to go.
