Continuously monitor your water systems, track usage, and manage resources with a cost-effective, low-power IoT platform built for agriculture.
OUR DEVICES
A sensing unit in the soil and a base station that relays its readings. Rotate to explore every angle.
Sensing units run on a solar panel and LiPo battery, with no AC hookup. The base station plugs in where there is power and Wi-Fi.
Sensing units reach the base station over LoRa 915 MHz. No SIM card, no airtime fee.
Designed to be affordable across a whole farm, with no subscription.
Each sensing unit wakes on its own time slot and measures moisture at four depths.
Every board identifies itself by its factory ID, and one sticker scan claims the whole kit.
If the base station doesn't answer, the unit queues the reading on its SD card and sends it later.
OUR SYSTEM
No manual and no setup steps: one sticker scan puts the farm on the map, and readings arrive on any screen.
Every 2 hours · 12 readings a day
One sticker scan claims the whole kit and places the farm from the phone's location. Live in production.
A new farmer types an email and starts. No password to choose, no verification email, no device serial to copy.
Android, iOS and web from one Flutter codebase, in English and Spanish.
Sensing units carry no credentials. Each base station relays only its own units, with a key scoped to it.
The server keeps the time, drops duplicate readings, and works out whether a device is online when you look.
Hundreds of automated tests run against a real database, with a coverage floor that only rises.
