BLADE™ Subsurface Soil Moisture Sensor

Professional-grade soil moisture data for high-value turfgrass

BLADE™ is a subsurface soil moisture sensor designed specifically for professional turfgrass environments where precision matters and failure isn’t an option.

Managers of turf in stadiums, athletic fields, commercial properties, and municipal land all face the same challenge: knowing what’s actually happening in the root zone without disrupting the use of the turf above. BLADE™ solves that problem by living where the data matters most: below the surface.

Unlike above-ground probes or sensors adapted from agriculture or residential use, BLADE™ was built from the ground up for turf managers responsible for high-performance grass. Once installed, it stays completely hidden beneath the surface while continuously collecting soil moisture and temperature data from multiple depths.

Designed for subsurface installation

BLADE™ is the world’s first LoRaWAN soil moisture sensor engineered specifically for permanent subsurface deployment. Nothing protrudes above the surface. No trip hazards. No interference with play, mowing, or maintenance.

This makes it ideal for professional sports fields, practice facilities, stadiums, parks, and other high-value turfgrass environments where surface integrity and safety are non-negotiable.

Long-range, low-power wireless connectivity

Using LoRaWAN technology, BLADE™ transmits data over distances exceeding one mile in open environments. It can operate on Harmony Analytica’s LoRaWAN network or integrate with compatible third-party LoRaWAN networks, giving you flexibility in how and where it’s deployed.

The sensor is fully sealed, waterproof, and built for long-term field use, with a battery life designed to last for 3+ years.
