Connecting a  Monitoring Card to a Device

This course walks through connecting a monitoring card to a device card, verifying that sensor data is being received correctly, and calibrating monitoring values when needed.

Before You Begin

Ensure your device card has been configured, validated, and is actively transmitting data. If you have not completed device setup, refer to the Device Provisioning & Validation guide before continuing.

Adding & Provisioning

1. Filter

Filter cards by monitoring. 

2. Add The Monitoring Card

Add the Soil Condition card: 

3. Flip & Configure The Card 

Flip the card using the the double arrow locate on the car 

Front of card: 

Back of card: 

Configure the card by providing a unique name, short description and assigned a zone. 

 4. Select Units of Measure

Select the unit of measure you would like displayed on the monitoring card. This unit will be used throughout the interface for day-to-day monitoring and operation.  

5. Connect Monitoring Card

Click on " + Add a soil sensor" located below Units of Measure. A pop up will appear: 

In this new pop up you can modify the name. 

Under Sensor Card click on the down arrow and choose "Soil Moisture Sensor."

6. Sensor Device - Choose A Device

You are making a connection from a monitoring card to the device card. Choose the correct device card: 

7. Connect Sensor Measurements

See below examples (not all soil sensors measure all of the above parameters. Only select the elements the purchased device measures). 

Connecting to Soil Temperature: 

Connecting to Soil EC: 

Connecting to Soil Moisture: 

8. Save

Once you have selected all elements, click to save the pop up window and save again at on the monitoring card: 

You have now connected your soil condition monitoring card to the device card. Repeat this process for any additional monitoring cards.
