The most versatile data monitor
The TainData Tierra is a data monitor for growers.
It connects to the cloud via the widely available IoT (Cat-M1) cellular data network, and automatically uploads data throughout the day and night.
Growers use it to monitor soil moiture, soil temperature, air temperature, canopy and crop temperature, rainfall, humidity, sap flow, stem diameter, water potential and other attributes in plants and the environment.
It can also be used for frost alarms, cool room alarms on temperature and CO₂ and countless other applications.
A single Tierra can read data from multiple SDI-12 inputs, four tension block inputs, four voltage inputs, and two switch/pulse inputs, making it the most versatile data monitor available.
