An award-winning wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to measure soil moisture and soil temperature at multiple depths with a single probe. With fast and easy installation, this durable sensor and 3-segment probe measures to a depth of 45 cm (18 in).
Featuring GroPoint's TDT5 technology with patented antenna design, this sensor measures soil moisture along the entire length of each probe segment, resulting in the largest volume of influence per measurement section. A high frequency of pulses per measurement provides precise and consistent soil moisture data.
The HOBOnet system is a cost-effective and scalable wireless sensor network for web-enabled monitoring of field conditions for applications such as crop management, research, and greenhouse operations. And because it's wireless, you can deploy a network of sensors to easily monitor multiple points with a single system, while avoiding the risk of long cables that can interfere with field operations. Sensors are easily linked to the network, and data can be accessed through HOBOlink®, Onset's innovative cloud software platform.
