The SMT100 Pro is a 30 mm shorter version of the proven SMT100 soil moisture sensor from Truebner. This makes it particularly suitable for use where space is limited, for example in column tests for hydrology and structural engineering.
For operation with OpenSprinkler is the Truebner RS485 adapter for OpenSprinkler necessary (requires OpenSprinklerShop firmware).
