How Spiio Works

Spiio soil sensors continuously collect and transmit data every hour.
Data is sent wirelessly via cellular communication to a cloud-based dashboard.
The dashboard is accessible on a smartphone, tablet, or computer at your chosen frequency.
Once installed, the sensors operate autonomously with a battery lifespan of 3 to 5 years.

Each Spiio soil sensor tracks four key metrics that impact turf health:

Soil Temperature:
- Measures from -4°F to 158°F (-20°C to 70°C).
- Helps predict germination, freeze/thaw cycles, and disease risks.
Soil Moisture:
- Measures volumetric water content (VWC) as a percentage (%).
- Helps optimize irrigation scheduling and detect drought stress.
Soil Salinity:
- Displays electrical conductivity (EC) in dS/m, mS/cm, or TDS.
- Helps assess salt buildup and soil flushing effectiveness.
Light Exposure:
- Measured in Lux or footcandles (when the top is exposed).
- Useful for shade studies and turf performance evaluation.

The Spiio dashboard provides an interactive, real-time view of soil conditions and allows users to:

Access historical data to track trends and make informed decisions.
Set custom thresholds for soil conditions to receive alerts when values exceed limits.
Monitor GPS-specific weather data for precise, localized forecasting.

Spiio sensors help turf managers make data-backed decisions for:

Preventative Disease Management: Use soil temperature thresholds to trigger patch disease treatments.
Irrigation Optimization: Avoid overwatering or drought stress by monitoring moisture levels.
Salinity Control: Assess soil flushing effectiveness and reduce salt buildup risks.
Traffic Management: Evaluate soil moisture after rain events to make cart path decisions.
Winter Turf Protection: Monitor freeze/thaw cycles under tarps in northern climates.
Pre-Emergent Herbicide Applications: Time treatments based on growing degree days (GDD) and soil conditions.
Shade Studies: Analyze light exposure to improve growing conditions.
Stakeholder Reports & Capital Planning: Use data-driven insights to support budgeting and resource allocation.

The weather dashboard within Spiio provides hyper-local forecasts covering an area of 3.25 square miles (8.5 km²)with data on:

Customizable color-coded thresholds and hourly breakdowns help users make quick, informed decisions.
