Key Sensor Measurements:
Temperature – Ranges from -4 to 158°F (-20 to 70°C)
Moisture – Capacitive sensor calibrated to measure volumetric water content (VWC) displayed as a %
Salinity – Displays electrical conductivity in dS/m, mS/cm, or TDS
Light – Collects light volume in Lux or footcandles when buried with the top exposed
Applications in Turf Management:
Soil temperatures triggering preventative patch disease treatments
Evaluation of soil flushing operations to reduce salinity
Low-temperature bermudagrass tarping
Cart traffic decisions following rain events
Pre-emergent weed applications
Freeze/thaw cycles under tarps in northern climates
Shade studies to improve growing environments
Irrigation requirements
Stakeholder reports and capital planning
Users can log in using the smartphone app or through a web browser on their desktop, laptop, or tablet to view key metrics on their properties anytime, anywhere. Users can also monitor specific data regions by establishing custom thresholds to help make better-informed decisions.
Data-Driven Insights to Meet Industry Demands
Technical Information
Sensor data is generated hourly and transmitted through wireless cellular communications to a cloud-based dashboard.
Four key measurements are continuously collected:
Temperature
Moisture
Salinity
Light
Compact design: Sensor dimensions are 7.1 in x 1.9 in x 1.9 in (180 mm x 47 mm x 48 mm).
Can be buried at varying depths (signal permitting).
Battery lifespan: 3 to 5 years.
The dashboard allows users to access relevant soil data and review historical values to support better decision-making. The platform also integrates hyperlocal GPS weather data, reducing reliance on less geographically relevant weather sources.
Focused Weather Forecast Data
The Digital Dashboard
"Spiio has turned out to be a game-changer on the course. With multiple microclimates throughout our property, it has given us the ability to track soil temperatures for specific application timing such as seed-head suppression. The ability to see significant data such as temperature, moisture, and salinity gives us immediate insight into what is happening below the surface. The light sensor has also given us the data needed to remove problem shade areas around our putting surfaces."
— Tim Zevotek, Director of Agronomy, Roaring Fork Club, Basalt, CO
The weather tab on the dashboard offers forecast data within 3.25 square miles (8.5 km²). This includes:
Ambient temperature
Wind speed
Relative humidity
Precipitation
Evapotranspiration (ET)
Dew point
Sun hours
Weather Widgets:
Provide hourly breakdowns
Include color-coded thresholds that are customizable
