Install into the Ground
The blank metal pins on the sensor stem are the measurements points. These need to be in full contact with the soil for a good measurement. Install the sensor in the soil. If the soil is soft, you can push the sensor fully into the ground. The sensor should be installed so that the blue head is sticking out of the soil.
Add Device to Verdi Dashboard
The device is battery-operated/wireless and has a built-in radio; no wiring is used. Open the Verdi Dashboard, select Add Device, scan the QR code on the probe and select device “Sensoterra“.
Activate the sensor… Flip it!
Wake the sensor by flipping the sensor upside down for 2 seconds. Normally, the sensor makes a measurement once every hour. By flipping it upside down, the sensor tries to get a connection faster.
View Data
After 1 hour, check the Verdi Dashboard Zone Graph for soil moisture data. In certain cases, it may take up to 48 hours for the first data point to appear in the graph. This process is to ensure the best possible connection on the network.
After 1 hour, check the Verdi Dashboard Device Card for device data like battery and network status.
