Coming Soon: Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensor Support
GreenCast Connect now supports Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensors, which appear alongside soil sensors in the Sensors tab.
While software support is available, the physical Aero™ GCX sensors are coming soon in USA only and are not yet available for purchase.
Aero sensors provide above-ground environmental measurements and are managed using the same guided workflows as other GCX devices.
Availability and purchasing details will be shared soon. For full Aero GCX product information, visit the GreenCast Connect website.
Viewing Installed Sensors
The Sensors tab displays a list of all installed sensors associated with your organization, including soil sensors and supported microclimate sensors.
Sensor Types You May See
Depending on your setup, the Sensors tab may include:
Spiio™ GCX Soil Sensors
In-ground sensors measuring soil moisture, salinity, temperature, and light (where supported).Aero™ GCX Microclimate Sensors
Above-ground sensors that provide ambient environmental measurements such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure.
NOTE: Aero GCX sensors may appear in the Sensors list and map view, even though purchasing is not yet available. Availability is coming soon.
Spiio Soil Sensors
For each Spiio soil sensor, you can view real-time data on:
Moisture
Salinity Levels
Temperature
Light
Sorting the Sensor List
To make navigation easier, you can sort the list of Areas and Sensors using three different sorting options:
Low – Displays the lowest average sensor data for moisture, salinity or temperature first.
High – 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 Low, High, or A-Z icons at the bottom left of the Sensors tab and select your preferred sorting method.
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.
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
View:
24 hours
3 days
7 days
14 days
1 month
Click on the sensor area to expand sensor data:
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.

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 map locations of each sensor.
To return to the list view, click the list view icon at the top-right.
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'.
Please review 'How To Add Sensors' for more detailed information.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup process.
Ensure the sensor is properly installed and connected to start receiving data. View Spiio soil sensor ground installation instructions.
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
Locating Sensor ID
Knowing where to find the sensor ID is important for support and troubleshooting.
To locate the sensor ID in the GreenCast Connect app:
Tap the Sensors tab at the bottom of the screen.
Select the area where your sensor is installed to open the area details.
Tap on the specific sensor you want to view.
On the sensor details page, tap the edit (pencil) icon in the top-right corner.
Select Edit Details.
The Sensor ID will be displayed below the sensor name on this screen.
Provide this ID to support for faster assistance when troubleshooting.
