Abstract

See full text

An in-ground wireless moisture sensor may include one or more ultrasonic sensors in communication with a processor and a wireless communications module. The sensor may be powered by a power source, such as one or more rechargeable batteries as well as a solar panel in the cover of the sensor. Ultrasonic sensors may allow for wireless sensing of in-ground soil moisture levels at a distance farther than traditional sensors and therefore may give more accurate measurements. Methods for use and installation of the in-ground sensor, including a selectively removable cover, are described.
