Hydrosight
Hydrosight provides wireless soil moisture, EC, and temperature sensors that transmit root-level data to the Hydrosight Portal, helping turf and landscape managers monitor conditions across sport, education, local government, and property sites. The platform combines soil readings with weather data and integrates with Rain Bird and Hunter Hydrawise irrigation controllers to automatically reduce or skip scheduled runs when soil is already wet. Users can compare readings across root areas, set thresholds, and document irrigation outcomes including saved runtime.

Problem
Spot checks of turf and landscape sites show only one place at one moment, leaving operational blind spots between inspections. Conditions can change across a site before the next scheduled check or irrigation cycle, and repeated manual site visits take time while still providing only snapshots.
Solution
Hydrosight provides wireless soil moisture, EC, and temperature sensors that transmit root-level data to the Hydrosight Portal for monitoring across sport, education, local government, and property sites. A single probe reports three root-level measurements wirelessly from underground, and the Portal combines these soil readings with weather observations and forecasts. The platform integrates with Rain Bird and Hunter Hydrawise irrigation controllers so users can reduce or skip scheduled runs when soil is already wet. Users can compare readings across selected root areas, set thresholds, and document whether irrigation ran, was skipped, or was reduced, including saved runtime.
Target Audience
Primary customers are organisations managing turf and landscape sites across sport, education, local government, and property sectors, including groundskeepers, facility managers, and irrigation operators.
