Soilify LabsOur story
Affordable precision agriculture for the farms that feed their communities.
Where it started
The farmers who work hardest have the fewest tools.
Large agricultural corporations can afford $10,000 soil monitoring systems. Small family farms — the ones growing food for their neighbors — are left guessing.
We asked: what if you could get the same real-time soil intelligence for $20 in hardware and a free app? Soilify Labs is the answer.
What we build
$20 hardware. Professional-grade intelligence.
Our system pairs an ESP32 microcontroller with a capacitive soil sensor — both inexpensive, widely available, and easy to set up.
ESP32 sensor
Pre-flashed Soilify firmware. Pairs with your gateway. Sends readings every 15 minutes automatically.
Real-time dashboard
Live moisture data visible from any device. 24h and 7d charts, CSV export, and multi-node support.
AI agronomist
AI-powered chat that combines soil readings with optional crop photos to diagnose exactly what your plants need.
ET₀ irrigation math
FAO-56 Penman-Monteith evapotranspiration — the same agronomic equation used by large commercial operations.
SMS alerts
Texts the moment your soil drops below threshold. No app required to get alerted.
No subscription
Software is free forever. One-time hardware cost only. No hidden fees, no trial periods, no lock-in.
