Smart Soil Moisture Monitoring with KNX
SK80-BFT / BFTLFT
Healthy plants need just the right amount of water – not too much and not too little. Our KNX Soil Moisture Sensormeasures the plant-relevant soil water tension (kPa) directly in the root zone, effectively mimicking how plants sense moisture. Based on these readings, irrigation can be controlled precisely – for strong growth and sustainable water use.
The latest generation of our soil moisture sensor features an integrated display – providing more transparency and control directly on site:
- Display of current soil water tension (kPa) on the device
- Local calibration and easy installation
- Robust, weatherproof IP65 housing for outdoor applications
The sensor is based on proven Watermark® technology, which measures soil water tension – the force plants need to extract water from the soil. This method provides particularly meaningful data and enables irrigation control that truly reflects the needs of the plants. The result is a system that not only saves water but also respects the natural balance of the soil.
Typical Applications
Our sensor is suitable for a wide range of use cases – anywhere soil moisture needs to be reliably monitored and irrigation efficiently automated:
- Private gardens and vegetable beds: Demand-based watering for healthy plants and abundant harvests
- Public green spaces and parks: Sustainable maintenance of large areas with minimal water consumption
- Horticulture and agriculture: Stable growing conditions through precise, sensor-based control
