Decentlab Soil Moisture, Temperature and Electrical Conductivity Sensor - DL-TRS12 | DL-TRS11

The DL-TRS12 soil moisture sensor is suitable for outdoor use and measures the moisture in the soil, the temperature, and the electrical conductivity.

The data is transmitted to the corresponding backend via LoRaWAN®. The transmission interval can be individually configured via downlink OTA.

Due to the weatherproof and robust housing in combination with the long battery life, maintenance-free real-time monitoring can take place over several years.
