Two types of moisture sensors can be connected to Heron controllers, the Heron moisture sensor and the Decagon moisture sensor. The Decagon moisture sensor works at a higher frequency and provides a scientific measure of volumetric water content. The moisture sensors can be used to either initiate or disable irrigation or used for monitoring.

When using the Ti controller, the moisture sensor comes with its own decoder and unique serial number. The Ti controller can have up to 20 moisture sensors connected to the 2-Wire cable. The Mi controller can have 1 moisture sensor connected as standard. Up to 4 moisture sensors can be connected to an Mi controller if the Input Board is used (see over leaf).

The Heron light sensor allows irrigation to be controlled on light. Up to 8 different light
\nenergy level thresholds can be set to initiate your irrigation.
\n\u2022 Can also be used to initiate irrigation based on light power
\n\u2022 Supplied on a stainless-steel bracket for mast or wall mounting.
\n\u2022 Can be used to reduce EC levels when using a fertilizer dosing system.
\n\u2022 Light Power Range 4-2000 Watts\/cm2. Wave Length 420 – 675 nm.

The Heron rain gauge is tipping spoon type rain sensor.
\n\u2022\u00a0 Rain fall thresholds can be set which will reduce irrigation by a specified percentage.
\n\u2022\u00a0 The period over which the rain fall will affect the irrigation can be adjusted.
\n\u2022\u00a0 Stainless steel bracket available for mast or wall mounting.
\n\u2022\u00a0 Accurate to 1 mm of rain fall.

The Heron raining sensor detects the immediate on set of rain fall. The raining sensor is usually
\nused for environmental control but can be used to immediately disable irrigation.
\n\u2022 Gold-plated heated plate for a very quick response time and long-term reliability.
\n\u2022 The unit is fully encapsulated.
\n\u2022 Rain fall as low as 0.005 mm will be detected.

Heron produce an aspirated and non-aspirated temperature sensor for internal temperature measurement. Irrigation can be enabled or disabled once a certain temperature threshold has been reached.
\n\u2022 The non-aspirated sensor is suitable for applications where the temperature is not changing rapidly and the sensor can be mounted in the shade.
\n\u2022 The aspirated sensor provides more accurate measurement of air temperature particularly when the temperature is changing.
\n\u2022 The aspirated sensor includes a water-resistant fan and can also be fitted with a humidity sensor.
\n\u2022 Accuracy to 0.1 C with a Range of -10 C – + 50 C.
