A battery-powered IP66 wireless soil moisture, temperature, and pore EC sensor, range from 0 ~ 100% (m³/m³), -40 ~ 80℃, and 0 to 20 ms/cm(Bulk), 0 to 32ms/cm(Pore) equipped with built-in Bluetooth and APP service for OTA configuration and remote device management. Used in smart farming, smart yard, and environment monitoring solutions.

SenseCAP LoRaWAN S2108 Sensor measures moisture, temperature and Pore EC at the range of 0 ~ 100% (m³/m³), -40 ~ 80℃,and 0 to 20 ms/cm(Bulk), 0 to 32ms cm(Pore) respectively. Soil electrical conductivity (EC) is a metric of the salt content in the soil which will affect crop yield and quality, plant nutrient availability, and the activity of soil microbes. S2108 can be widely applicable in soil sensing scenarios. It is specifically optimized for OTA with built-in Bluetooth, which enables quick setup and update. Benefiting from LoRa and IP66 design, this sensor features stability and reliability and can cover a long transmission range while keeping lower power consumption. Unlike wireline devices, it is battery-powered, reducing the workload and complexity of the deployment, and can be disassembled and installed in a few minutes.

SenseCAP S210X is a series of wireless LoRaWAN sensors.

It can cover a transmission range of 2km in urban scenes and 10km in line-of-sight scenes while keeping lower power consumption during the transmission process. Together with a replaceable battery that supports up to 10 years of usage and an industrial IP66 enclosure. It supports -40 ~ 85℃ operating temperature and can be deployed in harsh environments. SenseCAP S210X is compatible with LoRaWAN V1.0.3 protocol and can work with LoRaWAN gateway.

LoRaWAN gateways can provide LoRaWAN network coverage which is required when using such sensors. S210X can be connected to different LoRaWAN gateways while what Seeed provides offers you a seamless user experience.

Helium Network: Sensors work in areas covered by Helium Network (Check on Helium Explorer). You can check the SenseCAP M1 and SenseCAP M2.

LoRaWAN Network: Sensors work in LoRaWAN® networks, like The Things Network, Loriot, Chirpstack, etc. You can check the SenseCAP Outdoor Gateway and the SenseCAP M2 Multiplatform Gateway.

We highly recommend that you use our SenseCAP M2 Multi-Platform LoRaWAN Gateway, which is a standard LoRaWAN® gateway that supports connection to different network servers. With its affordable price of $99, its cost-effectiveness becomes a standout advantage, especially when building your private LoRaWAN network.

High-performance Guarantee

We are well aware that the sensors may work under harsh outdoor conditions. To ensure that the performance and durability of the sensors are consistent with their specifications throughout the complete lifecycle, SenseCAP S210X went through 6 reliability tests before releasing and met the requirements to perform perfectly in extreme conditions.

High-Low Temperature Test - determine performance under adverse temperature conditions.
Conformance Test - whether the collected values of multiple devices are consistent
Waterproof Test
Freezing Test
Long-Range Communication Test - whether the device loses packets under long-distance transmission
R&D and Production Test - to test the pass rate of multiple devices under factory conditions

LoRaWAN Frequency

Note: No Frequency limitation. The sensor can be switched to other frequency plans at any time.

S210x Devices are manufactured to support the universal frequency plan from 863MHz ~928MHz in one SKU. That is to say, every single device can support the frequency plans below:

Frequency Plan Common Name Sub-band

EU863-870 EU868 ___

US902-928 US915 Sub-band from 1 to 8

AU915-928 AU915 Sub-band from 1 to 8

AS923 AS923 AS923_1, AS923_2, AS923_3, AS923_4

IN865-867 IN865 ___

KR920-923 KR920 ___

RU864-867 RU864 ___

The frequency plan setting is none by default and it will not transmit RF signal until it has been set by App via Bluetooth at the first power-up. And it can be changed to other frequency plans at any time.
