Soil & Environmental Monitoring
Monitor soil moisture, temperature and environmental conditions using connected sensors.
What We Do
Connect your devices, monitor your farm and turn agricultural data into practical decisions. ThingsCommute brings together sensors, maps, dashboards and research tools.
Open ThingsCommute
Connected agriculture
Explore practical monitoring, data and research possibilities for farms and the people who support them.
Monitor soil moisture, temperature and environmental conditions using connected sensors.
Bring your farm metrics together in clear dashboards, charts and visual reports.
Explore sensor-informed irrigation controls and water management.
Monitor livestock locations and movement using connected tracking devices.
Keep track of tractors, equipment and other valuable farm assets.
Explore farm boundaries, geofences, maps and satellite-based field insights.
Explore aerial imagery and field inspection possibilities for precision agriculture.
Explore AI-assisted methods for identifying crop health issues.
Explore how farm and environmental data can support yield forecasting.
Prepare crop-specific datasets and explore machine-learning workflows, including TensorFlow Lite.
Explore low-power, solar-supported sensing and monitoring for remote farms.
Bring together IoT, data, automation and intelligent farming technologies.
Satellite analysis
Understand your land before you plant.
Identify areas that repeatedly show stronger or weaker vegetation growth, revealing patterns that might not be obvious during a single visit.
Compare vegetation water content across fields and seasons to investigate potential differences in moisture availability.
Combine satellite observations with soil sampling, sensors and local knowledge to make more informed decisions.
Explore historical satellite observations to investigate vegetation patterns, identify areas for further assessment and support decisions about crop placement and irrigation planning.
These are illustrative examples, not actual satellite measurements. NDMI indicates vegetation water content; it does not directly measure moisture beneath the soil surface. Satellite observations should be interpreted alongside ground measurements.
Practical possibilities
These illustrations show how connected devices and farm information may support everyday decisions. Available features depend on compatible equipment and service setup.
Use sensing and mapping to spot areas that may need a closer look and plan field checks.
Explore how shared farm information can support planning for crops, irrigation and daily tasks.
When compatible trackers are set up, location information can help farmers keep watch over their animals.
Explore how shared information could help follow produce from farm operations through the route to market.
Connected data
Your farm data shouldn't stop at a dashboard. Access it, understand it and connect it to the applications and services you use.
Illustrations show possible workflows; available data and integrations depend on account access and service configuration.
A unified stream may make approved farm measurements easier for connected tools to access, depending on setup.
Developers can explore ways to build services that use authorized ThingsCommute data.
Farmers and organisations can explore ways to connect approved applications to their data, subject to access and configuration.
Farm data, made clearer
View measurements from connected devices in one place, follow trends and understand changing farm conditions.
Data views vary with connected hardware and service configuration; not every metric is available on every farm.
ThingsCommute platform
Choose devices around your farm’s needs. We do not require customers to purchase a specific hardware brand.
Farmers can onboard their own LoRaWAN-compatible devices. Devices tested with ThingsCommute are listed in the supported devices catalogue.
If your device is not listed, contact our team. We can assess compatibility, discuss decoder integration and help with provisioning.
Compatibility is a starting point. LoRaWAN compatibility does not guarantee immediate ThingsCommute integration; each device may need assessment, configuration or custom decoding.
Supported agricultural hardware
Review tested devices, supported applications and integration status in our dedicated catalogue.
A little setup may be needed
New devices may require manual provisioning, configuration or decoder integration before their data can be used with ThingsCommute. We will explain the steps and let you know if we need more information.
