PRODUCT DETAILS

About SenseCAP
Among the first launch of Seeed industrial IoT (IIoT) product series, SenseCAP is focusing on wireless environmental sensing
applications: smart agriculture, precision farming, and smart city, to name a few. It consists of hardware products (sensors,
data-loggers & gateways, etc.), software services (SenseCAP portal, mobile App, open dashboard), an API for device & data
management.

SenseCAP Wireless Soil Moisture & Temperature Sensor measures soil volumetric water content (VWC) and soil temperature at the
range of 0 ~ 100% (m³/m³) and -30 ~ 70 respectively. With high-quality soil moisture and temperature probe, this sensor features
high precision and sensitivity regardless of soil variability, making it widely applicable in industrial scenarios such as
water-saving irrigation, outdoor fields, and greenhouses and more.


This device incorporates a built-in LoRa transmitter based on SX1276 for long-range transmission, a 2-in-1 sensor, and a custom
battery. It is specifically designed and optimized for use cases powering end devices by batteries for years. To minimize the
power consumption, the device wakes up, transmits the collected soil moisture and temperature data to the gateway, and then goes
back to sleep.


Under the best of circumstances, the battery is expected to last for more than 6 years, depending on environmental factors and the
data transmission intervals. Please kindly note that the default interval is once per hour. If you'd like to change the data
upload interval, please refer to this document

To fit in adverse conditions, this wireless sensor is designed with industry standards and equipped with an IP66 waterproof
enclosure, protecting the device from UV radiation, rain, and sunlight exposure.
The SenseCAP Sensor adopts a modular design, integrating the data logger with the sensor probe, which can be replaced by other
SenseCAP sensor probes.

Note
SenseCAP Sensor is fully compliant with LoRaWAN specifications and can be used with standard LoRaWAN gateways. Please choose the
corresponding gateway according to the sensor frequency.

Seeed also provides SenseCAP LoRaWAN Gateway for you to use with SenseCAP Sensors seamlessly without an extra huge workload for
provisioning. If you would like to use SenseCAP LoRaWAN gateway and SenseCAP cloud platform, please email us at [email protected].
