This sensor integrates an ECH2O soil moisture sensor and a 12-bit A/D. Designed to maintain low sensitivity to salinity and textural effects over a small area of influence; readings are provided directly in volumetric water content.

Soil moisture smart sensors are used for measuring soil water content and are designed to work with smart sensor-compatible HOBO® stations. They combine the innovative ECH2O® Dielectric Aquameter probe from Decagon Devices, Inc. with Onset's smart sensor technology. All sensor conversion parameters are stored inside the smart sensor adapter so data is provided directly in soil moisture units without any programming or extensive user setup.
