MacSync LSS X1 LoRaWAN Soil NPK Sensor

Product Overview

MacSync LSS X1 is an industrial-grade LoRaWAN® Soil NPK Sensor designed for precision agriculture, smart farming, fertigation systems, greenhouse automation, plantations, vineyards, orchards, crop monitoring, and long-range environmental soil analysis applications. Built for ultra-low-power remote deployments, the sensor continuously measures soil Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) levels in real time to help farmers and agricultural integrators optimize soil fertility, fertilizer usage, nutrient balance, and crop productivity.

The device enables continuous monitoring of essential soil nutrients across agricultural fields, helping growers maintain balanced soil conditions for healthier crop development and improved fertilizer management strategies.

Engineered using Macnman’s low-power wireless architecture, the MacSync LSS X1 LoRaWAN soil NPK monitoring sensor provides stable and accurate soil nutrient measurements across multiple soil environments including clay soil, sandy soil, red soil, cocopeat, greenhouse media, plantation soil, and high-moisture agricultural fields.

Its rugged IP67/IP68-ready outdoor enclosure and corrosion-resistant industrial soil nutrient probe enable long-term deployment in harsh agricultural and environmental conditions. The sensor supports seamless integration with The Things Network (TTN), ChirpStack, MQTT servers, Loriot, Orbiwise, private LoRaWAN® gateways, and industrial IoT dashboards.

The device supports configurable uplink intervals, threshold-based soil nutrient alerts, OTA configuration via the Maya App, local BLE diagnostics, onboard data buffering, and multi-year battery operation for remote farmland deployments.

MacSync LSS X1 is ideal for:

  • Precision agriculture and smart farming
  • Soil nutrient and fertility monitoring
  • Fertigation optimization and fertilizer management
  • Greenhouse and polyhouse farming
  • Plantation and commercial agriculture
  • Vineyard and orchard soil monitoring
  • Soil health analytics and research
  • Remote agricultural telemetry systems
  • Smart irrigation and fertigation projects
