1 Product Description
1.1 Overview
The Agricultural Sensor is a multi-purpose LoRaWAN IoT sensor intended for agricultural use. The
Sensor supports up to four Analog and Digital inputs allowing for the remote capture of data.
When the Greenhouse Probe is equipped the device becomes the “Greenhouse” model, this
addition uses two inputs. Table 1 presents the Agricultural Sensor models. Without the
Greenhouse probe the device becomes the “Farm” model.

The main features of the Agricultural Sensor are the following:
 Temperature & Relative Humidity Sensor: Reports temperature and relative humidity of
the local environment.
 Accelerometer: High sensitivity device that can measure any shock or movement events.
The primary purpose is to measure impact alarms.
 Light Sensor: Reports the amount of light in the local environment.
 Battery Gauge: Fuel gauges for non-rechargeable lithium batteries that can provide
accurate results with ultra-low average power consumption.
 Watermark Probe: Option to receive data on the water tension within the soil.
 Greenhouse Probe: Option to measure the soils moisture content and temperature.
