1. Viewing Installed Sensors
The Sensors tab displays a list of all installed sensors associated with your organization. For each sensor, you can view real-time data on:
Moisture
Salinity Levels
Temperature
Sorting the Sensor List
To make navigation easier, you can sort the list of Areas and Sensors using three different sorting options:
Descending Order – Displays the lowest average sensor data for moisture, salinity or temperature first.
Ascending Order – Displays the highest average sensor data for moisture, salinity or temperature first.
A-Z Sorting – Organizes sensors alphabetically for quick identification.
To adjust sorting, tap the Desc, Asc, or A-Z icons at the bottom left of the Sensors tab and select your preferred sorting method.
2. Viewing Sensor Averages
Area Averages Display:
When the ‘Show Sensors’ toggle is turned off, the app displays the average metrics for the selected area, including:Moisture Percentage
Salinity
Temperature
Individual Place Sensor Data:
When the ‘Show Sensors’ toggle is turned on, you will see data for both individual sensors and the area average. Users can view readings over:24 hours
3 days
7 days
14 days
1 month
Detailed View by Selecting an Area
By selecting a specific area, users can view:
Area Metrics: Average data for moisture, salinity, and temperature over multiple time periods.
Area Information: Additional context such as:
Area Type
Soil Type
Plant Species
If you have the ‘Show Places’ toggle on, and multiple sensors are grouped under one area:
Click on a Single Sensor in the List View → This takes you to an overall average of sensor data for the selected area.
Select the Individual Sensor Again → This opens a detailed map view of the single sensor data.
Viewing and Managing Individual Sensors
When selecting a specific sensor within an area, the app displays:
Sensor Metrics:
Average data for moisture, salinity, and temperature over 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, and 1 month.
Pencil (Edit) Icon to:
Update sensor details such as name or depth of sensor.
Remove a sensor permanently.
Add Notes:
Use the notebook icon to attach notes related to the sensor for better tracking and reporting.
Add a Picture:
Tap the picture tab at the top-left to upload or take a new photo for visual context.
Quickly Viewing Sensors with Location Images:
To quickly browse sensors along with their location images:
Tap the map icon at the top-left of the Sensors tab.
Scroll through the the map locations of each sensor.
To return to list view, click the list view icon at the top-right.
3. Adding New Sensors
To add a new sensor:
Tap the plus (+) icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
You can also add a sensor by tapping the pencil (edit) icon at the top right after selecting a specific sensor and selecting 'Install Sensor'.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup process.
Ensure the sensor is properly installed and connected to start receiving data.
If you have not added sensors to your organization, please review 'How To Add Sensors' for more detailed information.
4. Testing Location Quality
The plus (+) icon on the main page also allows you to test the location quality of a sensor.
This feature helps verify if the selected location provides:
optimal signal
environmental conditions for accurate readings
5. Locating Sensor ID
Knowing where to find the sensor ID is important for support and troubleshooting. To locate the sensor ID:
Tap the edit (pencil) icon at the top-right corner of the sensor details page.
The sensor ID will be displayed below the sensor name in the edit screen.
Provide this ID to support for faster assistance when issues arise.
