Temperature & RH Smart Sensor

The Temperature/Relative Humidity Smart Sensor from Onset is a versatile and easy-to-use sensor that is perfect for a variety of applications. Available in 2m and 8m lengths, this smart sensor is designed to work with all Onset data loggers that accept smart sensors. All sensor parameters are stored inside the smart sensor, which automatically communicates configuration data information to the logger without any programming, calibration, or extensive user setup. This makes it quick and easy to get started collecting accurate temperature and relative humidity data. Learn more >>

Wind Speed and Direction Smart Sensor

The Davis Wind Speed and Direction Smart Sensor is the perfect way to measure wind speed and direction. The new AeroCone design is perfect for high-wind conditions, and the UV-stabilised ABS plastic makes it a cost-effective option for rainfall measurement. Plug-and-play compatibility with all HOBO weather stations makes it easy to use and get started. Learn more >>

Rain Gauge Smart Sensor

The sensors feature a plug-in modular connector for easy installation, and all configuration parameters are stored in the sensor and automatically communicated to the logger, eliminating the need for programming or extensive setup. Learn more >>

Customise your Station with additional Plug & Play Sensors

You can also customise your weather station with additional plug and play sensors to monitor a wide range of environmental conditions and provide highly accurate and reliable measurements over extended periods of time. Available measurements include; Soil Moisture, Water Level, Pulse Input, Temperature, RH, Rainfall, Light PAR & Solar Radiation, Wind Speed & Direction, Leaf Wetness and Barometric Pressure.

Get accurate weather information to make better decisions about your farming operations. Make informed decisions on irrigation, crop protection sprayer applications and so much more...!

The HOBO Soil Moisture Kit is the perfect solution for growers looking to improve their irrigation management and get better crop yields.

The kit includes the MicroRX station, which utilises web-enabled technology to remotely monitor sites and notify growers of important events, as well as the HOBOnet range of wireless sensors. These sensors not only provide accurate and precise measurements of soil moisture, but also soil temperature, electrical conductivity, and soil water potential.

With the HOBOlink software, you can easily access data from any web browser, 24/7. This allows you to verify your system and set up alarms to ensure that your crops always have the optimal amount of moisture.

Onsite at Loxton Demonstration Farm, the Soil Moisture Kit includes:

• HOBOnet TEROS 12 Soil Moisture/Temp/EC Sensor
• HOBOnet TEROS 21 Soil Water Potential/Temp Sensor
• HOBOnet Multi-Depth Soil Moisture Sensor
• HOBOnet MicroRX 2106 Station (Utilising the Weather Stations RX unit onsite in Loxton)*

The current setup onsite utilises the RX2106 mounted on the tripod with the Weather station creating a wireless field monitoring solution.

HOBOnet Field Monitoring Solution 

HOBOnet TEROS 12 Soil Moisture/Temp/EC Sensor

The HOBOnet TEROS 12 is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to not only provide advanced soil moisture (volumetric water content) measurements with better accuracy and precision but also measure soil temperature and electrical conductivity. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, these durable sensors last for many years, so you can leave them in the field for extended periods of time. Sharpened stainless-steel probe tips make installation easy, even in hard soil, and a large volume of influence provides more accurate results. Learn More >>

HOBOnet TEROS 21 Soil Water Potential/Temp Sensor

The HOBOnet TEROS 21 is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to measure both soil temperature and soil water potential, a more accurate way to measure how much water is available to plants. The HOBOnet TEROS 21 Sensor is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, and it doesn’t require calibration for different soil types or salinity. Learn More >>

HOBOnet Multi-Depth Soil Moisture Sensor

The HOBOnet Multi-Depth Soil Moisture Sensor is a wireless sensor that works with the HOBOnet system to measure soil moisture and soil temperature at multiple depths with a single probe, for fast and easy installation. This durable sensor is available in three probe lengths for measurements from 45 cm (18 in) to 90 cm (35 in) deep. Featuring GroPoint’s TDT5 technology with patented antenna design, these sensors measure soil moisture along the entire length of each probe segment, resulting in the largest volume of influence per measurement section. A high frequency of pulses per measurement provides precise and consistent soil moisture data. Learn More >>
