HOBO MX Soil Moisture Data Loggers are the industry’s only low-cost, fully integrated soil moisture loggers with Bluetooth wireless data offload. 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.
| Soil Moisture: Volumetric Water Content (VWC) | |

-40 to 100°C (-40 to 212°F), with tip and cable immersion in fresh water up to 50°C (122°F) for one year |
| Accuracy |
±0.25°C from -40 to 0°C (±0.45 from -40 to 32°F)
±0.2°C from 0 to 70°C (±0.36 from 32 to 158°F)
±0.25°C from 70 to 100°C (±0.45 from 158 to 212°F)

| Resolution |
0.04°C (0.072°F)
|
| Drift |
<0.01°C per year (0.018°F per year)
|
| Response Time |
3 minutes in air moving 1 m/s; 20 seconds in stirred water 4 minutes in air moving 1 m/s with RS3-B Solar Radiation Shield |
| Logger | |
| Operating Range |
-25° to 60°C (-13° to 140°F)
|
| Radio Power |
1 mW (0 dBm)
|
| Transmission Range |
Approximately 30.5 m (100 ft) line-of-sight |
| Wireless Data Standard |
Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart) |
| Logging Rate |

* The sensor data can be post-calibrated if necessary (e.g. the sensor is used in non-mineral soil types or higher than standard accuracy is required). Users can apply a calibration equation to the data exported from the app. The VWC range will depend on the calibration equation.
