Milesight EM500-SMTC LoRaWAN® Soil Moisture, Temperature & Conductivity Sensor
The Milesight EM500-SMTC LoRaWAN® Soil Moisture, Temperature & Conductivity Sensor is a professional-grade environmental monitoring solution designed to provide accurate, real-time insights into soil conditions—fully integrated into the SenseCore Control Suite.
Built for precision agriculture, landscaping, environmental monitoring, and smart irrigation systems, the EM500-SMTC measures three critical soil parameters simultaneously: soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity (EC). These measurements provide a complete understanding of soil health, enabling smarter irrigation decisions, improved crop yields, and optimized resource usage.
Using advanced sensing technology, the EM500-SMTC delivers high-accuracy data directly from the soil with excellent long-term stability. Its probe is designed for direct insertion into the ground, ensuring consistent and reliable readings even in varying soil conditions. Whether deployed in farmland, greenhouses, golf courses, or urban landscaping, the sensor provides actionable insights that reduce water waste and improve operational efficiency.
Leveraging LoRaWAN® connectivity, the EM500-SMTC enables long-range, low-power communication across large agricultural fields, campuses, and remote environments without the need for WiFi or wired infrastructure. This makes it ideal for wide-area deployments where traditional connectivity is unreliable or unavailable.
All data collected is seamlessly transmitted to the SenseCore Control Suite, where users can access real-time dashboards, set threshold alerts, analyze historical trends, and generate reports. This allows operators to make data-driven decisions around irrigation scheduling, soil conditioning, and crop management.
