hummbox soil sensor

Hummbox Soil sensor

HummBox soil is a sensor for measuring soil parameters (humidity, temperature, electroconductivity), connected via Sigfox or LoraWan, autonomous in energy. It allows to calculate the water stock of the soil to manage the watering with precision. The solution includes a transmission box, the HummBox, and an associated external wired sensor.

Several types of capacitive or tensiometric sensors can be associated with the HummBox and configured via the application. This allows to reuse the same box with several sensors depending on the use case. Can control up to 3 capacitive or 3 tensiometric sensors.

Applications:

  • Smart Watering of green spaces and gardens
  • Root recovery
  • Watering of sports fields
  • Agricultural watering
