Automatic irrigation system

Smart irrigation driven by Plantozor soil moisture sensors, cloud analytics, and Hydrotor valve control.

Why automate irrigation?

Cut water use, protect crops, and make irrigation decisions based on real data.

Water only when needed

Thresholds and trends prevent overwatering and under-watering.

Healthier roots, higher yields

Moisture stability reduces plant stress and improves growth.

Less manual work

Alerts and automation handle routine watering for you.

System components

Two rugged devices and a cloud layer create a closed irrigation loop.

Plantozor soil moisture sensor

Plantozor soil moisture sensor

Installed in the root zone, Plantozor measures soil moisture and temperature at set intervals and sends readings to the gateway.

  • Captures moisture trends across the day
  • Battery powered for long field deployments
  • Optimized for LoRaWAN transmission
Hydrotor irrigation valve actuator

Hydrotor valve actuator

Hydrotor receives the control command from the cloud and opens or closes the water valve for precise irrigation.

  • Remote open/close of irrigation valves
  • Built for outdoor, wet environments
  • Manual override available on site

How it works

From soil data to irrigation in a few automated steps.

01

Measure soil moisture

Plantozor collects moisture and temperature data in the root zone.

02

Transmit and post-process

Data is sent to cloud.sensorly.cz where it is cleaned, calibrated, and aggregated.

03

Decide with rules

Thresholds, schedules, and forecasts determine when irrigation is needed.

04

Control the valve

Hydrotor opens the valve, and feedback data confirms the result.

Live data to irrigation in motion

Two devices, one cloud brain — watch how soil data becomes water.

01

Measure in the root zone

Plantozor captures moisture and temperature where it matters most.

02

Analyze in the cloud

cloud.sensorly.cz cleans, validates, and compares the data with rules.

03

Open the valve automatically

Hydrotor receives the command and irrigates only as needed.

Why the system pays back

  • Reduced water consumption by targeting irrigation only when needed.
  • Less crop stress means more consistent yield and quality.
  • Automated scheduling cuts routine labor and after-hours callouts.
  • Historical reports support insurance, audits, and agronomy decisions.

Data is post-processed and managed in the Sensorly cloud at cloud.sensorly.cz where you can configure alerts, rules, and irrigation schedules.

FAQ

We recommend one sensor per irrigation zone and soil type to capture local moisture conditions.

Yes, Hydrotor integrates with common agricultural valve sizes; we adapt the installation to your setup.

Hydrotor keeps its last state and the cloud continues logging; once connectivity returns, rules resume.

Yes, the valve can be operated manually and you can override automation in the cloud.
