Soil Moisture Monitoring
Water only when it matters: see the soil, not the forecast
Stop irrigating on a schedule and start irrigating on evidence. Datacake shows live moisture for every plot, sends alerts before plants stress, and feeds clean data straight into your agronomy or smart-city system.
- Live soil moisture and soil temperature for every zone
- Alerts before plants stress, not after they wilt
- Drastically reduce water use without risking yield
- Works outdoors for years on a single battery: no cabling
One platform for every plot, bed and block you manage
Whether you run a vineyard, a commercial farm, a row of greenhouses, a reforestation project or a city's green spaces. The pattern is the same. Place wireless soil probes, connect one gateway, and decide irrigation from a single live dashboard instead of guesswork and truck rolls.
Where customers use Datacake for soil moisture
Farms & open fields
Monitor moisture across row crops and fields at spacing that makes sense for your soil type. Irrigate by evidence, not by schedule.
Vineyards & orchards
Track moisture and root-zone temperature by block. Protect vine stress levels and fine-tune deficit irrigation with confidence.
Greenhouses & nurseries
Keep every bench and bed in its ideal moisture band. Detect clogged drippers and uneven irrigation early.
Forestry & reforestation
Give young plantings the best chance of survival. Catch drought stress across remote sites without daily visits.
Urban green & parks
Save water on public green spaces. Prove compliance with drought ordinances and cut fuel spent on manual watering rounds.
Sports turf & golf
Keep fairways, greens and pitches at tournament-ready moisture, without overwatering or stressing the turf.
See every plot in one map
Live moisture across every zone, on one screen
Place sensors where your soil changes, and see the whole site on one map. Color-coded zones tell you instantly where to irrigate and where to hold off. No more walking the field with a probe.
- Map and plot-level views at a glance
- Drill into a single sensor in two clicks
- Scales from a single greenhouse to multi-hectare farms
Get alerted before plants stress
Rules that catch dry-out before it costs you yield
Set the moisture thresholds that matter for your crop and get notified (by push, email or webhook) the moment a zone drops into the stress band. Escalate to the right person and acknowledge right from your phone.
- Thresholds per crop, per block and per soil type
- Push, email, SMS and webhook notifications
- Escalation paths when nobody is on site
Feed your agronomy system
Clean data, exported and pushed wherever you need it
Datacake is open. Export historical data to CSV or Excel for your agronomist, push live values into your farm-management software via API, or let Datacake forward readings to your smart-city data lake.
- CSV, Excel and JSON exports
- REST API and webhooks for live pushes
- Integrate with your existing agronomy stack
Simple outdoor hardware: no cabling, no IT project
One wireless gateway covers a whole farm or park. Soil probes run for years on a single battery and handle rain, mud and machinery.
Compatible LoRaWAN sensor types
Each type links to the full catalog of supported devices; every template ships with a payload decoder and dashboard.
What this pays back
Typical outcomes customers report after their first full growing season. Your figures will depend on crop, soil and local water costs. Talk to us for a tailored model.
−40%
water use
Irrigating by evidence instead of schedule eliminates the easy-to-spot overwatering.
−30%
manual truck rolls
No more driving out just to check if a plot needs water.
<12 mo
typical payback
Avoided water costs and labor usually cover the kit within a season.
Healthier
yields & plantings
Fewer stress events, fewer losses during dry spells and heat waves.
Example based on a 5 ha vineyard with 15 sensors and weekly irrigation cycles. Figures reference anonymized Datacake customer outcomes.
