RS485 Soil Moisture, Temperature, and pH Sensor IP68 5-30V

The RS485 soil moisture, temperature, and pH sensor is your ideal partner for precise soil analyses. With this sensor, you can accurately monitor soil conditions and ensure optimal growth conditions for your plants. The sensor not only measures moisture and temperature, but also the pH of the soil, which is crucial for plant health. The robust construction with IP68 protection class guarantees longevity even under extreme conditions. The 316 stainless steel probe resists corrosion and can remain permanently in the soil. By using the MODBUS-RTU protocol via an RS485 interface, the sensor offers reliable data transfer. It is perfect for use in agriculture, horticulture, as well as in scientific studies.
