Onset’s HOBO MX Soil Moisture and Temperature Data Loggers

The Industry’s Only Low-Cost, Fully Integrated Soil Moisture Loggers with Bluetooth Wireless Data Offload

HOBO MX Soil Moisture Data Loggers are available in two models – one that measures soil moisture (HOBO MX2306) and one that measures both soil moisture and temperature (HOBO MX2307) – these loggers are ideal for researchers and growers looking for the accurate data they need to save water, improve crop yields, reduce harmful runoff, and protect ecosystems.

With just a mobile phone, tablet, or Windows laptop running Onset’s free HOBOconnect app, users get convenient wireless setup and data download via Bluetooth when within 100 feet of the logger – making it easy to retrieve data from hard-to-access field locations. And for indoor areas, such as greenhouses, users can add the MX Gateway for remote access to data in Onset’s cloud-based HOBOlink software.

  • Ready to deploy, with pre-attached sensors
  • Easy configuration and data offload with the free HOBOconnect app
  • Durable TEROS 10 soil moisture sensor lasts over 10 years in the field
