The Sensor Schedule section allows you to manage when your Spiio soil sensors and Aero microclimate sensors will collect and transmit data.
Accessing the Sensor Schedule Section
Open the GreenCast Connect app.
Go to Settings (tap the gear icon ⚙️).
Select the “Sensor Schedule” option from the settings menu.
Tap the Spiio or Aero tab at the top of the screen to manage each sensor type's schedule separately.
Use the tabs at the top of the screen to switch between sensor types. This feature helps you control the frequency of sensor readings, ensuring data is collected at optimal times for your monitoring and reporting.
Enabling or Disabling the Sensor Schedule
At the top of the Sensor Schedule screen, you’ll find a toggle button to enable or disable the sensor schedule.
Enable: When the toggle is on (green), the sensors will follow the schedule you have set.
Disable: When the toggle is off (gray), the sensors will not follow the set schedule and will stop collecting data based on the timing configuration.
Sensor Schedule
Adding Times:
To add new times for data collection, tap the “Add Times” button located next to Current Schedule.
You’ll be prompted to select the specific times when you want the sensors to collect data with a maximum of six.
After selecting the time, tap Add to add it to the schedule.
Removing Times:
To remove times for data collection, tap the edit icon (red) button located next to each time.
You’ll be prompted to confirm the removal of the specific time from the current schedule or keep in schedule.
After selecting your choice, the schedule is updated.
Important Note: Schedule changes will take effect after the next previously scheduled transmission is complete.
Aero Sensor Schedule
The Sensor Schedule screen includes scheduling for Aero microclimate sensors. Tap the Aero tab at the top of the screen to manage the schedule.
Sampling Interval:
Choose how often the Aero sensor takes a reading:
15 minutes
30 minutes
60 minutes (1 hour) — default
Data Delivery Times:
Set up to 24 delivery times per day. Delivery times can be scheduled on the hour (:00) or half hour (:30). Quarter-hour slots (:15 and :45) will be available soon.
Important Note: Aero schedule changes will take effect after the next previously scheduled transmission is complete.
Viewing Your Current Sensor Schedule
The current active schedule will be displayed in the Sensor Schedule section.
You’ll see the times when data collection is scheduled to occur.
Note
Spiio soil sensors are configured to sample data at least once within each hour.
The collected measurements are then grouped and transmitted according to the predefined time blocks in the schedule, which applies uniformly to all soil sensors in the current organization.
Aero sensors use a separate sampling interval:
15, 30, or 60 minutes
Aero sensors have their own delivery schedule, managed from the Aero tab.
Tips:
Flexibility: Adjust the schedule as necessary depending on seasonal changes or specific project needs.
Optimize Data Collection: Use the sensor schedule to collect data at intervals that align with your goals, such as monitoring conditions during specific times of day or night.
