Soil Moisture/Temp/Conductivity

Capabilities

This smart sensor monitors soil moisture, electrical conductivity, and temperature. It uses stainless steel rods and advanced measurement techniques to automatically adjust for soil salinity and texture, providing accurate results in many different types of soil. On a station it's one of the core weather sensors for farm operations, feeding the weather stations for agriculture WWG builds for irrigation and crop-stage decisions.
