SenseCAP S2108 - LoRaWAN Soil Moisture, Temperature and Pore EC Sensor

The SenseCAP S210X series offers industrial long-distance data acquisition via LoRaWAN. With the IP 66 rating, -40 to +85C° operating temperature and built-in 19Ah high-capacity battery, combined with the devices’ low power consumption, the S210X series can operate in harsh outdoor environments for up to 10 years with a range of up to 10km.

The built-in Bluetooth facilitates setup and greatly reduces large-scale deployment costs. The sensors can be used on standard LoRaWAN networks and can be used out of the box with the Helium network.

SenseCAP Soil Moisture & Pore EC Sensor measures soil volumetric water content (VWC), soil temperature, soil bulk conductivity and soil pore conductivity at the range of 0 ~ 100% (m³/m³), -40 ~ 80℃, 0 ~ 20 mS/cm and 0 ~ 32 mS/cm respectively. It's designed with a 3-in-1 sensor that integrates soil temperature, soil moisture and soil conductivity.

The pore electrical conductivity of soil is calculated by the Hilhorst model. A detailed description can be found on the website of Custom Hydro. In the SenseCAP Mate App you can select different soil types.

How to use soil water content for irrigation is described on the website of Oklahoma State University.

S210x devices are manufactured to support the universal frequency plan from 863MHz to 928MHz. You can set the 868MHz frequency plan with the app via Bluetooth.
