JPiOT / Smart Monitoring System
Bring soil readings, local weather and weight changes together to support more informed irrigation and crop-management decisions.
Weight sensor included
Three complementary signals
A moisture figure means more beside the rain that changed it, and a weight change means more beside both. The station brings all three into one view, so they can be read together.
In the root zone
Moisture, temperature, pH (acidity), electrical conductivity (EC, a guide to dissolved salts and nutrients), nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
What the roots are growing in: whether the root zone is wet or drying, warm or cool, and how its acidity, salt level and main nutrients change over time.
Above the crop
Wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, rainfall, light, air pressure, carbon dioxide (CO₂) and ozone.
Air pressure and ozone depend on the instruments fitted to your station.
Whether rain has already done the watering, and how hot, bright, dry and windy the day is: the conditions that decide how fast soil and plants lose water.
On the platformIncluded
The total load on a load-cell platform: the container, growing medium, plant and water together.
How much a weighed pot or grow bag gains when it is watered, and how quickly it dries between waterings.
See how the weight sensor worksIncluded load-cell weight sensor
A weighing platform beneath a pot or grow bag records changes in the combined load. Viewed alongside irrigation events, soil moisture and weather, the trend helps you understand watering and drying patterns.
Measured load through one example day
| Time | Measured load | Event |
|---|---|---|
| 08:00 | 4.28 kg | Before irrigation |
| 08:30 | 4.68 kg | Following irrigation |
| 09:00 | 4.56 kg | After some drainage |
| 14:00 | 4.48 kg | |
| 18:00 | 4.36 kg |
The starting point. Before irrigation, the platform carries the container, growing medium, plant and whatever water the medium still holds from earlier.
Irrigation adds about 0.40 kg. That is water entering the medium, not plant growth. Over the next half hour the load falls back by 0.12 kg as excess water drains out.
Through the day the load keeps falling, by 0.20 kg between 09:00 and 18:00, as water evaporates from the medium and leaves through the plant’s leaves. Read against temperature, humidity and soil moisture, the slope shows how quickly the pot is drying.
Illustrative demonstration with example data. Not a live reading or a control interface.
Everything the platform supports: the container, the growing medium, the plant and the water they hold. It measures that total load, not the plant on its own.
Taring removes a reference load, such as the empty container, from the reading. It does not isolate plant biomass automatically.
So a rise after watering is water, not growth. A fall can come from evaporation, from transpiration (water leaving through the leaves) and from drainage. Rain, harvesting, handling the pot and changes to the setup also change the reading.
The platform shows what changed, not why. It does not measure nutrient absorption, root uptake, biomass growth or yield.
Follow the latest readings from our connected farm sensors.
Values appear as each sensor reports them, except weight: shown in kilograms, with a reading below zero as 0 kg.
The newest reading from the weighing scale on the farm above, on its own. A scale weighs everything on its platform together: in a growing setup, the container, medium, crop and the water the medium holds, so watering raises the reading and drying brings it down.
Farm
About this demo: it shows one demonstration farm’s bot menus, with that farm’s latest readings. It is not a list of what every Smart Monitoring System includes. Your bot shows the systems and sensors installed and configured on your farm, and each reading carries its own timestamp.
How the system connects
Readings travel in stages, from the sensors in the field to the dashboard you check. Control of irrigation is a separate, optional step.
Monitoring
Read the root zone, the air above the crop and the weighed pot.
Collects the readings at the station, powered by its solar panel and battery.
Long-range, low-power radio that carries readings across the farm.
Receives the radio link and forwards readings to the internet. LoRa alone does not provide internet access.
Keeps the readings and shows them on a computer or phone.
You compare, decide and act: when to irrigate, what to inspect.
Optional, separate from monitoring
Irrigation or fertigation control, with suitable controllers, valves or pumps and configuration.
The LoRa link reaches up to 5 km in suitable open rural conditions. Terrain, trees, buildings and antenna height can all shorten it, so actual coverage is checked for your site.
The monitoring system reports readings. Opening a valve or starting a pump needs suitable controllers, actuators and configuration. Nothing changes your irrigation automatically unless that has been set up and confirmed for your site.
What is included
Six physical parts, the weighing platform among them. Below them: what you get access to, and what depends on how your site is configured.
1 / 6Physical equipment
The panel charges a battery inside the enclosure, so the station powers itself in the field without a mains supply. The battery keeps it working through cloudy spells and the night while it holds charge.
2 / 6Physical equipment
The weatherproof enclosure holds the solar controller, LoRa module, data logger and battery. It gathers every sensor’s readings and passes them on.
3 / 6Physical equipment
A LoRa radio and antenna send the readings across the farm to a gateway: long range, low power.
Up to 5 km in suitable open rural conditions; actual coverage depends on the site.
4 / 6Physical equipment
Set in the root zone. Reads moisture, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
5 / 6Physical equipment
Mounted above the crop: wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, rainfall, light and CO₂.
Air pressure and ozone depend on the instruments fitted.
6 / 6Physical equipmentIncluded
A load-cell platform under a pot or grow bag. It records the total load of container, growing medium, plant and water, so watering and drying show up as changes in weight.

How you see the readings.
With every stationAgreed during the site assessment.
Farm by farmWhere it fits
The same station supports different decisions, depending on how you grow.
WeatherSoil
Combine weather and root-zone context. See whether rain reached the roots before the next irrigation, and how heat and wind dry the soil.
WeightSoil
Observe weight changes alongside watering and moisture. The weighed pot shows how much each irrigation adds and how quickly the medium dries.
By zone
Organise and compare measurements where the configuration supports it, so one bed can be read against another.
Installation journey
Every site is different, so the configuration is agreed with you after the assessment.
We look at the crop, the layout, where the station and weighing platform should stand, and how the radio link will reach.
The station, sensors and communications are set up to suit that site.
Readings are checked, the weighing platform is set to its reference load, and you are shown the dashboard.
You follow the readings and review them alongside your irrigation and crop records.
