Introduction
Congratulations, you have just purchased the
SmartProfile Base Station, one of the most advanced
irrigation management tools available.
"
SmartProfile Base Station
SmartProfile is a remote soil moisture sensing station,
which provides information from the grower’s field to their
home computer. This system utilizes Watermark sensors
to determine a value for soil water suction, which can be
used to determine the overall soil moisture content.
"
How does it know?
Once SmartProfile is installed; the system is setup on
our website (www.cropinsight.com). On the website, the
user inputs what crop is planted in their field, the soil
type, and sets up limits for all measurement recorded. All
measurements from this point will be compared to the
limits set by the user and can send alert messages, via
email or text messaging, to the user when these limits
are exceeded.
