Soil moisture sensors, like rain sensors, are considered rain shut off devices, but while rain sensors measure evapotranspiration rates, soil moisture sensors measure real time soil moisture.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Toro’s XTRA SMART Soil Moisture Sensor

    • Toro’s XTRA SMART Soil Moisture Sensor’s innovative, wireless technology will keep your sprinklers from over-watering and under-watering your lawn. By sensing when your lawn needs moisture, the XTRA SMART Soil Moisture Sensor allows your controller to water. Conversely, if there’s enough moisture, the sensor prevents the system from running!  You can find more information about Toro’s XTRA SMART Soil Moisture Sensor here.

Rainbird’s SMRT-Y Soil Moisture Sensor Kit

It’s time for a little feedback from the roots. With the new SMRT-Y Soil Moisture Sensor Kit from Rain Bird, an irrigation controller is directly linked to the absolute moisture requirements of a site’s vegetation.

When the sensor detects dry conditions, the next scheduled watering cycle is allowed. If a site’s soil moisture level is above the threshold, the irrigation cycle is suspended. There are just two basic components an in-ground sensor and a user interface at the controller.

More information about Rainbird’s SMRT-Y Soil Moisture Sensor is found at this link.
