1. Measure below the surface
Measure moisture, EC and temperature at the installed probe depth.
The Hydrosight solution
Turn changing soil conditions into informed action
The sensor captures what is happening at root depth. The Portal and mobile apps make those readings visible and useful, while selected integrations and the Hydrosight API connect that evidence to existing workflows.
One connected flow
From below-surface measurement to operational action
The sensor supplies field evidence. The Hydrosight platform turns it into information teams can compare, share and connect to configured workflows.
2. Send data without Wi-Fi
Report directly through NB-IoT/LTE-M 4G with extended coverage, without a site gateway or Wi-Fi.
3. See what needs attention
Use Portal and mobile maps, charts, area comparisons and configured threshold alerts.
4. Connect decisions to existing systems
Link soil evidence with supported irrigation, weather and API integrations.
Portal visibility
The Portal: compare areas, readings and historical change
Use maps and charts to compare selected areas across locations, review current moisture, EC and temperature values, and follow how conditions changed between inspections.
- Place available weather observations and forecasts beside soil readings.
- Configure soil-moisture threshold alerts for selected areas.
- Review supported irrigation actions and Water Savings records where configured.
Mobile apps in the field
The mobile apps: take the same site evidence into the field
Use the companion mobile apps to view maps, readings, charts, alerts and reports while moving around the site. Available views and irrigation records depend on the customer's configuration and connected systems.
Whole-site visibility
The Dashboard: see the whole site in one view
The Dashboard brings the information needed to understand current site conditions into one operational view. Combine below-ground moisture readings from Hydrosight sensors with configured above-ground weather observations, forecasts and site context, so teams can see what needs attention without moving between separate screens.
- Compare current field status with recent sensor trends.
- View rainfall, weather conditions and forecast context alongside soil data where those sources are configured.
- Use the map and site summary to identify areas that may need attention.
Connected irrigation
Water Savings: track water use and prevent unnecessary irrigation
When a compatible irrigation controller is connected, Hydrosight records scheduled irrigation and whether each run was completed, skipped or reduced, with estimated water use updated as runs are reported. With soil-moisture thresholds and controller rules configured, supported systems can automatically reduce or skip a scheduled run when current soil conditions show an area does not need the full runtime.
- Monitor scheduled irrigation and estimated water use as runs are reported.
- See estimated water saved and use it when reviewing irrigation and pumping costs.
- Document reduced water use and its environmental benefit.
Saved litres require configured runtime and flow-rate data. Automatic control depends on the supported controller and site configuration.

Integration options
Connect soil evidence to configured workflows
Availability depends on the controller, weather station, account permissions and site configuration.
Irrigation control
On selected Rain Bird systems, configured soil-moisture thresholds can reduce runtime or disable a scheduled program. Compatible Hunter Hydrawise systems can skip a scheduled run when soil is already wet.
Weather context
Weather data from any source with a compatible API can be placed beside soil readings, with available forecast data shown for locations.
Your own systems
Use the Hydrosight API to bring permitted Hydrosight sensor, location and weather data into customer dashboards, reports or BMS workflows.
Hydrosight API
Read permitted Hydrosight data in your own workflow
Generate an API key in the Portal, then retrieve permitted sensors and locations, current, historical and raw sensor readings, and available observational and forecast weather data.
Optional read-only connection
Ask supported questions in plain language
Connect ChatGPT to your Hydrosight account to ask supported questions about permitted soil conditions and available forecasts. Access is read-only, scoped to your locations and sensors, and follows your Portal permissions.
