eKo Pro Series Starter Kit  

The eKo Pro Series Vineyard Monitoring System manufactured by Crossbow Technology provides support for numerous sensors including soil moisture, soil water content, soil temp, solar radiation canopy temperature, humidity and leaf wetness monitoring for viticulture and agriculture in general.  

The eKo Pro weather proof, solar powered sensing stations are capable of monitoring up to 9 parameters/station. Measurements are made every 10 minutes and related back to a gateway/webserver with database where the data is immediately available via the internet.   Each station has 4 ports which can each receive a sensor or sensor pair connection. Sensor types are automatically identified by the station units requiring no user configuration.

The sensing stations are network nodes which use Crossbow's self organizing mesh technology to transmit and relay data packets back to the system's gateway/webserver.   Data is available via a dashbord, map, trend graphs or e-mail alerts in real time all via the internet.  The Crossbow mesh automatically forms a daisy chain of stations to relay data packets long distances and allow easy scaling to more than 50 stations and several mile range.  The mesh firmware adapts new routes as stations are added with no user intervention or reconfiguration whatsoever.   The network uses the 2.4GHz band and does not require an RF license or cellular subscription costs.
