Hunter SC PROBE NODE BT Soil Moisture Sensor for Irrigation
Hunter SC PROBE NODE BT – Bluetooth Soil Moisture Sensor
The Hunter SC PROBE NODE BT is a professional-grade soil moisture sensor designed for precision irrigation management in residential gardens, commercial landscapes, and greenhouse growing environments. By measuring volumetric water content directly at root level, the sensor enables irrigation controllers to deliver water only when and where it is genuinely needed, eliminating unnecessary run cycles and reducing water consumption without compromising plant health.
The sensor features a perforated cylindrical housing that allows soil moisture to equilibrate rapidly with the sensing element, ensuring accurate and responsive readings even in variable soil types. The integrated Bluetooth NODE module transmits data wirelessly, removing the need for long signal cable runs back to the controller and simplifying retrofits in established plantings. The slim stainless-steel probe shaft penetrates compacted or clay-heavy soils with minimal disturbance to root systems.
