Hello, it is possible to automate irrigation systems based on Tensiometers and make them smart, but not with the control-type of Tensiometer, which is shown in the video. There are two ways: a. Automation with switch Tensiometers: Please find an overview on available models on our web-site at, direct link: www.mmm-tech.de/index.php/en/tensiometer/txs b. Automation with electronic tensiometers and a wireless data aquisition unit like our IoT4H2O (IoT for water) universal data aquistion unit. This way requires some additional hardware and if you use your own IoT unit it would also require programming, but this way opens almost unlimited options. direct link to our electronic tensiometers: www.mmm-tech.de/index.php/en/tensiometer/tx-e direct link to oT4H2O: www.mmm-tech.de/index.php/en/iot4h2o 🙂
Hello, we are not sure how to understand your question. In case you would like to know, how long it takes until a Tensiometer gives the final reading, the answer is, that this depends on the soil type and the current soil water status. Normally you can use as rule of thumb, that a Tensiometer gives 1 day after a slurry installation the final reading. However, in case you
However, in case you would like to know, for how long a Tensiometer reading represents the current soil water potential, the answer is, that a Tensiometer reading gives information about the current soil water potenial. The soil water potential is a dynamic value, which can change rapidly.
Hi Alexander, thanks for this question. Yes, it is possible with a switch Tensiometer. See some Switch-Tensiometers on our web site, Link: www.mmm-tech.de/en/tensiometer/txs As soon as we can find the time, we'll do also a presentation on this topic.
Hello, is tensiometer can automate for smart drip irrigation?

How long could we know the result of soil water potential?

Hello, thanks for the video. Is there a way to connect a tensiometer to an irrigation system to automatically water? Thanks again for your input!
