MacSync LSS X3 LoRaWAN Soil EC Sensor

Product Overview

MacSync LSS X3 is an industrial-grade LoRaWAN® soil EC sensor designed for precision agriculture, fertigation systems, greenhouse automation, plantations, vineyards, orchards, crop monitoring, and long-range environmental soil analysis applications. Built for ultra-low-power remote deployments, the sensor continuously measures soil electrical conductivity (EC) in real time to help farmers and agricultural integrators optimize soil fertility, irrigation efficiency, nutrient concentration, and crop productivity.

The device enables continuous monitoring of soil salinity and nutrient conductivity across agricultural fields, helping growers maintain balanced soil conditions for healthier crop development and improved fertilizer and irrigation strategies.

Engineered using Macnman’s low-power wireless architecture, the MacSync LSS X3 LoRaWAN soil EC monitoring sensor provides stable and accurate soil conductivity measurements across multiple soil environments including clay soil, sandy soil, red soil, cocopeat, greenhouse media, plantation soil, and high-moisture agricultural fields.

Its rugged IP67/IP68-ready outdoor enclosure and corrosion-resistant industrial soil EC probe enable long-term deployment in harsh agricultural and environmental conditions. The sensor supports seamless integration with The Things Network (TTN), ChirpStack, MQTT servers, Loriot, Orbiwise, private LoRaWAN® gateways, and industrial IoT dashboards.

The device supports configurable uplink intervals, threshold-based soil EC alerts, OTA configuration via the Maya App, local BLE diagnostics, onboard data buffering, and multi-year battery operation for remote farmland deployments.

MacSync LSS X3 is ideal for:

  • Precision agriculture and smart farming
  • Soil EC monitoring and soil salinity analysis
  • Fertigation optimization and nutrient management
  • Greenhouse and polyhouse farming
  • Plantation and commercial agriculture
  • Vineyard and orchard soil monitoring
  • Soil fertility analytics and research
  • Remote agricultural telemetry systems
  • Smart irrigation and fertigation projects
  • Agricultural universities and research farms
