SenseCAP S2104 – LoRaWAN Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensor

Features

• Wide measuring range: measuring range of soil moisture range from 0 to 100% (air-water) and soil temperature from -40 to +80 °C. Measuring accuracy varies from operating temperature, but maximal fluctuation will not exceed ±0.5 °C(soil temperature) and ±5%(soil moisture) respectively .
• LoRaWAN Wireless Transmission: ultra-low power consumption and ultra-wide-distance transmission range. It has Max.10 years of battery life and can cover a transmission range of 2km in urban scenes and 10km in line of sight scenes
• Industrial design: -40 ~ 85℃ operating temperature and IP66 rating, suitable for indoor, outdoor, and harsh environments such as high UV exposure, heavy rain, dusty conditions, etc.
• Over the Air Configuration in 1 min: scan the QR code on the device and just in a few clicks to choose the frequencies you want, all the configuration can be done via Bluetooth
• Easily get data, no clunky software interfaces: temperature and humidity data can smoothly be sent to your phone and cloud servers or other IoT data management platforms you’re using,
• Powerful supported SenseCAP APP: you can set threshold value (just focus on the data you need take action for), time intervals (improve the battery efficiency), and set alarms if data is out of the safe range.
• Flexibly compatible with various LoRaWAN gateways: can be used with different types of LoRaWAN gateways and compatible with multiple LoRaWAN Network Servers (Helium, TTN) to enable our sensor quickly join your current LoRaWAN networks

Description

This LoRaWAN Soil Moisture and Temperature Sensor is compliant with LoRaWAN protocol of v1.0.3 Class A and has wide measuring range and can work in a wide range of scenarios, like weather stations, outdoor farms, tea plantations, greenhouse vegetable plantation.

Why is SenseCAP S210x outstanding in LoRaWAN Sensors? 

S210x offers an easy-to-use experience design.

With it, you can be benefited from:

Scan-and-Play Simplicity, Easy Configuration via Bluettoth in Just 1 min 

Bluetooth 5.0 has reduced many configuration works, no need for connecting it with your computers or do some complicated wiring work. All you need to do is to scan the QR code on the device, and the DevEUI、AppEUI and AppKey will automatically show up on your phone. After a few clicks to set the frequency (because each device supports 7 frequencies, more info is shown below),  the whole configuration process is done!

Minimal maintenance cost: power-conscious battery, rugged enclosure and remote data monitoring   

SenseCAP S2100 data logger incorporates a built-in LoRa Module(LoRa-E5) for long-range transmission and a standard Li-SOCl2 high-capacity battery. It is specifically designed and optimized for use cases that need to power end devices for years. To minimize the power consumption, the device wakes up, transmits the collected relative data to the gateway, and then goes back to sleep.

Under the best of circumstances, the battery is expected to last for more than 10 years, depending on the environmental factors and data transmission intervals. Please kindly note that the default interval is once per hour. The sensor can quickly replace a new battery by unscrewing just three screws. The battery is a standard Li-SOCl2 battery (type: ER34615) that can purchase from Amazon and other platforms.

Different data display choices — Open API for different data management consoles 

It allows you to check the real-time data on the phone, which gives you the biggest convenience. You can remotely check the data highs & lows.

We provide an easy integration method if you’re using other PaaS to manage your data, such as Microsoft Azure or AWS or your own cloud/Edge servers.

(3 Steps to Get the Data based on SenseCAP Portal)

Strong compatibility: works perfectly with different gateways and network servers

SenseCAP Architecture: SenseCAP ecosystem offers you a no-code and the most time-saving experience

If you’re using our SenseCAP LoRaWAN Outdoor Gateway, then you are successfully building a SenseCAP ecosystem, which means that you can onboard your device just by a simple OTA configuration on your phone. This can be a no-code process and then you can get access to a convenient web-based console.

Helium Network Architecture: make full advantage of the Helium coverage and various powerful IoT data management platforms on the Helium console

Note: if your area is covered by the Helium network, then you can directly use it by integrating the device in the network; if you don’t, you can buy SenseCAP M1/M2 to build your own Helium network

We’re establishing cooperation with many IoT data management platforms such as Ubidots and Datacake in order to provide a more ready-to-use experience to you. You can just choose the platforms you want the data to go directly to on the Helium console and no need for software testing work.

Applications

Economic & easy choice for your own DIY indoor/outdoor Gardening Projects

Under Covid, a home is a place where many of us seek refuge and comfort, home gardening and home planting is a good way to comfort our pressure and by the way provide us access to fresh foods. This soil monitoring meter can help you make the scientific decision of when you have to water it. The suitable decisions are based on the real-time data presented on your phone.

Automated and Precise farming

Light (SenseCAP light intensity sensor), Temperature and Humidity are three important parameters for growing. With the help of this automated soil moisture and temperature sensor, farmers can acquire more time and resources to redirect into their properties and use less time to make a more precise decision so that improve the water utilization ratio, and reduce the chemical usage, but at the same time to make sure healthier crops and higher yields.

Specifications

* Every single device can support 7 frequency plans.

**  This wireless LoRaWAN Temperature and Humidity sensor supports up to 10 years of battery life, but the actual battery life varies from data upload interval, data payload and distance between gateways. If you want to optimize the LoRa battery life, you can choose to send a smaller amount of data, send messages less frequently, and keep LoRa spreading factor as low as possible.

LoRa Frequency

Note: No Frequency limitation. Sensor switched to other frequency plans at any time.

S210x Devices are manufactured to support the universal frequency plan from 863MHz ~928MHz in one SKU. That is to say, every single device can support frequency plans below:

The frequency plan setting is none by default and it will not transmit RF signal until it has been set by App via Bluetooth at the first power-up. And it can be changed to other frequency plans at any time.
