Frequently-asked questions
TEKTELIC KIWI is a LoRaWAN soil and ambient environment sensor that measures soil water tension and soil temperature through external probes, plus ambient temperature, humidity, and light. It supports data-driven irrigation, crop monitoring, and landscaping.
KIWI uses external Irrometer® Watermark probes to measure soil water tension, indicating how difficult it is for plant roots to extract water from the soil. Measurements range from 0 to 239 kPa, helping growers understand soil water availability and make more informed irrigation decisions.
KIWI is available with two probes (one Watermark and one soil thermistor) or four probes (two of each) on 1.5 m cables, so moisture and temperature can be measured at different root depths.
KIWI is designed to last up to 11 years on a single C-cell lithium battery, depending on configuration and reporting frequency, and reports battery status to support maintenance planning.
KIWI suits precision agriculture, orchards and vineyards, irrigation management, golf courses and commercial landscaping. Its rugged IP67 enclosure mounts on an elevated post above the crop.
Choose KIWI for multi-depth soil water tension readings with external watermark probes; choose CLOVER for a simple soil-surface sensor with two built-in probes.
