I am ordering 10000 capacitive moisture and temperature sensor boards with an microcontroller wired to 100 wifi and bluetooth gateways including labour and programming for around $5 or €5 per sensor. Most of the cost per sensor is labour so could be omitted.
If you want to piggyback onto this order or collaborate please send an email to morphle at ziggo dot nl.
We can lower the price per moisture sensor down to $1.42 when we order 100000 or more or by dropping labour intensive features.
At a shared/combined batch order of 1 million sensors we will drop to $0.30 per sensor. At this point it is economical to have a sensor per plant (or mecanically planted seed).
With optional starlink and solar panels and batteries for full offgrid operation. Custom software features in an app for smartphone or laptop with a https://microblocks.fun type programmability and spreadsheet graphs and website output would be optional.
We could add microphones and motion sensors to sense rodents or snails or monitor (rain)forest for illegal cutting with chainsaws or poachers.
