MacSync-LSX3 Datasheet
Product Overview
MacSync‑LSX3 is a high‑accuracy LoRaWAN® soil moisture sensor designed for precision agriculture, irrigation automation, plantations, landscaping, and smart‑city green‑zone monitoring. Built with an industrial‑grade capacitive moisture‑sensing probe, it delivers real‑time volumetric soil moisture insights that help growers optimize watering schedules, reduce water usage, and protect crops from under‑ or over‑irrigation.
Engineered on Macnman’s ultra‑low‑power architecture, MacSync‑LSX3 provides long‑range wireless communication, multi‑year battery life, and consistent performance in all soil types—clay, red soil, sandy soil, and saline regions. Its rugged outdoor enclosure and IP67‑rated probe ensure stable operation in farming fields, orchards, vineyards, and greenhouse environments.
With seamless integration into major LoRaWAN® network servers, OTA configuration via the Maya App, and onboard data buffering for zero‑loss transmission, MacSync‑LSX3 enables smart irrigation systems, remote soil monitoring, and high‑efficiency water‑management strategies for farms, estates, and municipalities.
