The ECHO-AG is an automated agriculture monitoring station that follows soil conditions in the field for farms and agricultural research. It measures the soil at one depth or several, logs the readings on the ECHO-Gateway v4 and sends them to EchoCloud. It runs on solar power, so it needs no mains supply in the field.
Features
Soil conditions in real time
Measure soil moisture, temperature, EC, pH and NPK.
Several depths
Follow the soil profile with sensors at different levels.
Weather data alongside
Add weather sensors to the same station.
Solar powered
A solar panel and backup battery keep the station running at off-grid sites.
Dual communication
4G and Ethernet together. If one goes down, the station restores communication over the other.
No data lost in an outage
If all communication is down, the station keeps logging and resends the data when the connection returns.
Station health
Check power, signal and storage remotely in EchoCloud.
Alerts
Get alerts by email, Telegram and WhatsApp.
Installation and support
SpaceEcho installs and maintains the station, with a 2-year hardware warranty and 24/7 technical support.
Installed in the field
The station stands between the crop rows on a pole set into the soil. The enclosure holds the electronics, and the sensors connect by cable.

Soil readings at several depths
Soil sensors can be fitted at different depths below the station, so one station follows conditions through the soil profile.

Supported sensors
The EchoHub-485 gives a station more sensor ports. The EchoHub Combine Unit connects sensors with 0–10 V, 4–20 mA or SDI-12 signals, by model.

Frequently asked questions
What does the station measure?
Soil moisture, temperature, EC, pH and NPK. Weather sensors can be added.
Can it measure at several depths?
Yes. Sensors can be fitted at different depths to follow the soil profile.
Can it work in a field with no mains power?
Yes. The station runs on a solar panel with a backup battery.
How does the data reach me?
The station sends readings over 4G or Ethernet to EchoCloud, where you can view them in real time.
What happens if the connection goes down?
With 4G and Ethernet, the station restores communication over the other link. If all communication is down, it keeps the data and resends it when the connection returns.
Does SpaceEcho install the station?
Yes. SpaceEcho provides installation and maintenance services, with a 2-year hardware warranty and 24/7 technical support.
