Permanent Soil Moisture Monitoring

Real-time Data from Profiling Soil Moisture Probes for Irrigated & Permanent Plantings

Wildeye multi-level soil moisture monitoring products combine the renowned Wildeye telemetry and software platform with rugged, accurate and reliable capacitance soil moisture probes for collection of detailed soil information (water content, temperature and EC/salinity) throughout soil profiles.

These sensors are ideally suited to any application requiring long-term soil profile measurements, such as tree crops, vineyards, turf & sports grounds and many other applications where detailed measurements throughout a soil profile are required.

Connectivity is managed by the award-winning Wildeye 4G IoT telemetry device. Data is accessible through the Wildeye portal from where it can be viewed and exported.  Scroll down to view complete specifications.

Components

  • High quality profiling soil moisture probe of length 40cm, 80cm, 120cm or 160cm

  • Pressure Transducer for monitoring irrigation time-of-use and identifying faults in the irrigation system (2m lead, extendable)

  • Wildeye 4G IoT telemetry device

  • Solar panel with Wildeye mounting bracket

  • Outdoor 3dB Antenna, 5m extension for optional elevation

Installation

Installation requires 4G IoT signal is available at site, and the Wildeye phone app must be downloaded and used to capture data during the installation. 

Wildeye’s network of staff and distribution partners are experienced soil scientists and agronomists, with a fixation on technology to help farmers, and unmatched collective soil moisture probe installation experience. Nobody is better placed than Wildeye to ensure your valuable sensors are installed right.

Applications:

  • Tree-crops

  • Vineyards

  • Turf & Sports Grounds

  • Golf Courses

Connectivity

Web-connectivity uses open-standard Cat-M1 or NB-IoT on 4G cellular networks.

Wildeye packages utilize telco-delivered cellular networks to avoid reliance on first-generation radio networks and technologies that are delivered and maintained by small businesses.

Software & Data Access

Data from Wildeye products is available on-demand via web services including web-based software, our industry-leading smartphone app, as well as via “push services” such as email and SMS alerts.
