Basic sensor set for remote areas
μMETOS SOIL LoRa is a LPWAN weather station that operates on LoRaWAN® and can be connected to any existing LoRaWAN® network, if present at your location.
Monitor basic climate parameters
BEST USED FOR:
• Soil moisture monitoring and irrigation management
• Improving plant protection with disease models
• Water level monitoring
μMETOS SOIL LoRa
μMETOS SOIL LoRa is designed to monitor basic climate parameters (rain and temperature), soil characteristics (soil moisture, soil temperature and electrical conductivity), as well as water pressure.
μMETOS SOIL LoRa can handle various sensors. Data is permanently measured in 5-minute intervals and sent every 15 minutes to the server. All the data is synchronized with FieldClimate platform.
KEY BENEFITS
By the use of crop evapotranspiration better plan the irrigation, save water, money and time.
Helps prevent animal health problems that occur in houses with nonstandard climatic conditions.
Plant disease model calculation to improve plant protection and prevent crop losses.
Work planning on farms – it saves time and makes farming even more efficient.

Measurement, logging and transmission intervals can be set differently to fit the client’s needs.
Measurement interval: occurrence, when the station measures the attached sensors
Logging interval: occurrence, when the station calculates the minimum, maximum and average values of all measurements which happened in this logging interval
Transmission interval: occurrence, when the station transmits the stored data from the logging interval to the FieldClimate.
Logging and transmission intervals for LoRAWAN® communication-based products are the same.
