Are you looking for a way to effortlessly monitor volumetric water content, soil temperature and soil conductivity? The TEROS 12 sensor by METER Group is the answer to your needs.
Designed for precision and durability, the TEROS 12 is the ultimate tool for researchers, farmers, and professionals needing reliable, long-term data. It is ready to streamline your professional remote monitoring needs for agriculture, environmental research, and more.
METER Group specialises in reliable and durable agricultural and environmental sensors. The advanced measuring technology combined with a durable design (epoxy fill, stainless steel needles) guarantee a long hardware life for reliable monitoring.
At Crodeon we like to bundle our strengths, which is why we choose to connect reliable sensors by renowned sensor manufacturers, like METER Group, to our own sensor module: Reporter. Thanks to our sensor adapters, virtually any sensor can be paired with Reporter for plug & play remote monitoring. This VWC sensor comes with our UART/I2C sensor adapter.
Reporter connects to the internet through its integrated SIM card using the cellular data network, and streams its measurement data to our cloud platform called the Crodeon Dashboard.
While both the SMT100 and TEROS 12 sensors are excellent tools for soil monitoring, they cater to different needs and differ slightly. The main difference is that the TEROS 12 also measures EC, providing a comprehensive picture of soil health.
| TEROS 12 | SMT100 | |
| Volumetric water content | Yes | Yes |
| Soil temperature | Yes | Yes |
| Electric conductivity | Yes | No |
| VWC range in soil | 0-70% | 0-60% |
When connected to Reporter, all data measurements are automatically streamed to the cloud in real-time (Crodeon Dashboard) where you can view all live and historical measurements.
The Dashboard also allows you to alter any sensor or Reporter settings such as measurement interval and alarm configuration. Customise alarm notifications to notify you when soil moisture, temperature, or EC levels deviate from your desired range.
Since every Reporter comes with our REST API, your TEROS 12 sensor automatically becomes a soil sensor with API. This enables seamless integrations into your own software or other third-party platforms as you measure volumetric water content, soil temperature, and soil conductivity. Enable automation such as triggering irrigation systems or feeding data into predictive models to enhance agricultural efficiency.
