The Pycno Mini is a compact wired soil moisture and EC sensor for installations with many shallow monitoring points.
Starting from €99Single-unit listed sale price. Shipping and taxes are calculated at checkout.
The Mini suits projects where many measurement points feed an existing collection system. The shop lists a 3.3 V UART version and RS-485 and SDI-12 variants. UART requires a Pulse with the UART SLI; RS-485 requires a Pulse with the RS485 SLI.
Commercial greenhouses and larger installations with many shallow soil monitoring points.
Include the gateway, matching interface and field cabling in the installation budget. RS-485 and SDI-12 variants were listed for pre-order when checked.

Understand your soilElectrical conductivity helps describe the soil's electrical behaviour and can support salinity monitoring. To interpret a reading, first establish what was measured and how water content affects it.

Choose a sensorFactory calibration provides a starting relationship between a sensor signal and water content. A soil-specific check shows whether that relationship is adequate for the decisions you need to make.

Choose a sensorA capacitance sensor detects an electrical change around its electrodes and converts that response into a moisture estimate. The surrounding soil, contact and circuit design determine how reliable that estimate is.
