2 x single point sensors with
pressure gauge package components

The Wildeye Single-Point Soil Moisture Monitoring solution combines the renowned Wildeye telemetry and software platform with accurate and cost-effective capacitance soil sensors for collection of soil information (water content, temperature and EC/salinity). 

Up to 3 single point sensors are installed at flexible depths by digging a trench and backfilling. The trenching method allows sensor cables to be lead away from the monitored location to avoid aesthetic damage to turf and to avoid physical disturbance of the soil profile through which irrigation water passes.

The installation process does not require a slurry and the sensor needle design creates excellent soil contact with a large sensing volume for accurate long-term reliability. 

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 Permanent Soil Monitoring Package Specifications. 

Components

  • 1, 2 or 3 quality single point capacitance soil sensors with optional EC sensing

  • Optional pressure transducer for monitoring irrigation time-of-use and identifying faults in the irrigation system (6ft lead, extendable)

  • Wildeye 4G IoT telemetry device

  • Solar panel with Wildeye mounting bracket

  • Outdoor 3dB Antenna, 16ft 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.

Guidelines for installation of the single point sensors are here, and additional training can be provided to internal staff.

Applications:

  • Golf courses

  • Sports fields

  • Turf monitoring

  • Substrate / coir

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.
