EVO10 Soil Moisture & Root-Zone Temperature Monitor

Track the root zone over time — not just one spot reading.

Leave EVO10 in the soil to see how the root zone dries between waterings, how temperature changes over time, and how much daily light the plant receives. It records independently after setup and lets you reconnect by Bluetooth when you want the history.

What is the EvoDevice EVO10?

EvoDevice EVO10 is a leave-in plant root-zone monitor that records soil moisture, root-zone temperature and Daily Light Integral (DLI) over time. After setup it records independently without Wi-Fi, stores up to 6 months of history, reconnects locally by Bluetooth for review and synchronization, and can export stored data as CSV.

EVO10 is designed for long-term monitoring in pots, gardens, balconies and raised beds, helping growers compare watering cycles, dry-back patterns, root-zone temperature and daily light history.

Why ordinary spot checks can miss the bigger picture

A single probe reads one small location. EVO10 is built to stay in place and reveal what happens across the root zone and over time.

Dual probes sample a wider soil area

Local wet pockets, dry areas, perlite, roots, and uneven soil structure can affect a single-point reading. EVO10 uses two separated probes to create a broader sampling field and provide a more representative root-zone picture.

  • Less dependent on one isolated wet or dry spot
  • More stable readings around the active root zone
  • Better suited for long-term in-soil monitoring

Designed to stay in the soil long term

EVO10 uses two same-material stainless-steel probes and is designed for continuous contact with moist soil. This helps reduce the corrosion risks associated with some mixed-metal single-probe structures.

  • Dual stainless-steel probes
  • Long-term leave-in structure
  • Less repeated disturbance near delicate roots

See the trend, not just a spot reading

Daily and monthly history makes it easier to understand drying speed, watering cycles, and how different pots or soil mixes hold water.

Build a real watering routine

EVO10 records changes continuously, so you can see how fast the soil dries after watering and when it reaches the level where your plant actually needs attention.

  • Water at the right time
  • Know your soil’s drying speed
  • Compare daily and monthly patterns

What your moisture curve can reveal

The shape of the moisture trend can help growers recognize soil that stays wet too long, dries too quickly, or follows a repeatable watering cycle.

117 days of real soil moisture and root-zone temperature data

EVO10 was left in place for a 117-day outdoor monitoring test. The resulting dataset contains 16,710 paired soil-moisture and root-zone-temperature readings, showing real wetting events, dry-back patterns and changing root-zone conditions over time.

Track root-zone temperature over time

Soil temperature can be very different from the air temperature. EVO10 records temperature trends so you can identify heat buildup, faster drying, and potential root stress.

  • Monthly temperature history
  • Root-zone data, not just weather-app estimates

Simple Bluetooth access

After the first setup, EVO10 records independently. Your phone does not need to remain connected. Reconnect whenever you want to read the sensor and review stored data.

  • No account required
  • No Wi-Fi or internet gateway needed
  • Read stored data when you reconnect

Engineered for more stable long-term readings

EVO10 combines probe structure, short measurement pulses, and alternating polarity to support reliable long-term soil monitoring.

Technical comparison of EVO10 dual probes and short alternating measurement pulses
01

Same-material probes

Two stainless-steel probes help reduce mixed-metal galvanic effects.

02

Short measurement pulses

Measurements are applied briefly instead of continuously energizing the probes.

03

Alternating polarity

Polarity alternates to help reduce one-sided polarization and electrochemical buildup.

Leave it in place. Disturb the roots less.

Repeatedly inserting and removing a spot-check meter can disturb soil structure and delicate roots. EVO10 is designed to remain installed near the root zone.

Why soil can get hotter than the air

Sunlight can heat pots and soil far above the surrounding air temperature. Monitoring the root zone helps you see why soil dries quickly and when placement or watering may need adjustment.

  • Identify rapid heat buildup
  • Spot potential heat stress earlier
  • Adjust watering and placement using real root-zone data

Know your plant’s daily sun level

Ordinary soil meters may show only Low, Medium, High, or a single instant Lux value. EVO10 tracks Daily Light Integral across the whole day, helping you understand the total sunlight your plant actually receives.

Common questions about long-term soil monitoring

Answers to the questions growers often ask before choosing a leave-in soil moisture and root-zone temperature monitor.

Can EVO10 help me understand when to water a potted plant?

EVO10 continuously records soil moisture so you can see how the root zone dries after watering and compare repeated watering cycles. This helps you understand your own potting mix and growing conditions instead of judging only by the soil surface. Watering needs still vary by plant species, pot size, soil mix and environment.

Does my phone need to stay connected while EVO10 records?

No. After the first setup, EVO10 records independently. Your phone does not need to remain connected. Reconnect by Bluetooth when you want to review stored history or export data.

Can EVO10 show how long soil stays wet after watering?

Yes. The historical moisture curve can show the rise after watering, the subsequent dry-back, repeated re-wetting events and soil that remains wet for an unusually long time.

How much history can EVO10 store?

EVO10 provides up to 6 months of historical data for long-term soil moisture, root-zone temperature and daily light review.

Can I export EVO10 history for my own analysis?

Yes. Stored data can be exported as CSV for spreadsheet analysis, charting and record-keeping.

Does EVO10 require Wi-Fi, a gateway or an account?

No. EVO10 does not require Wi-Fi, an internet gateway or an account for normal recording. Bluetooth is used when you reconnect locally to review or synchronize stored data.

Is EVO10 the right tool for your measurement task?

Compare EVO10 with EVO-20 and EVO-Solar. Choose EVO10 when root-zone conditions such as soil moisture and root-zone temperature are part of the question, rather than measuring only Daily Light Integral or solar irradiance.
