Hi Andre,
Thanks for posting this great question. I was able to take a look at your device yesterday. Please let me know if this helps. Happy to keep following up on this:
Device 335LDS: Inverted reading between soil depths.
- Yes, you’re correct that the reading is wrong. We’re still adding more capabilities in GeoDrops AI to better make decisions and help guide people regarding soil installation.
- What you’re seeing is that the entire middle sections of the sensor probe are actually in poor contact with the soil. Can you following the installation tips in my post (see link here)? We forgot to mention in the installation procedure to NOT install into the same soil spot repeatedly
- The problem with loose middle-depth soil is most commonly seen when people install the device into the same spot more than once.
- In extremely rare cases, there could be foreign objects in the middle area of the probe. Although your device looks a lot more like poor/loose install and not foreign object.
Cheers,
Lawrence
