Once the sensor is set up and paired with your RAINPOINT Bluetooth Monitor Display, it will automatically begin transmitting soil moisture and temperature data.

4.1 Data Monitoring

  • The monitor display will show real-time soil moisture (0-100%) and temperature (-10℃ to 60℃ / 14°F to 140°F) readings.
  • Data is updated approximately every 7 seconds.
  • The monitor display may also indicate soil humidity levels as 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, or 100%.
