Soil Moisture Map (similar heatMap widget but only for soilMoisture)

Dear Tago Team,

I would like to have a widget, similar to the heatmap but that controls soil moisture based on the data logging sent by the sensor.

The value in the scale must be from 0 to 100%, using the colors as shown in the image (Soilmoisture Index)

As background you could use an image of the map seen from the satellite in static mode (jpg o png image or http link), or use openstreetmap.org and enter the exact point using the sensor coordinates sent in the sensor metadata.

The new widget will have the name: Soil moisture Map, very useful for precision agriculture but also for controlling soil moisture in lawns and public parks

Hi Gabriele,

Thank you for sharing your suggestion with our community.

This feature request seems to be very specific for an application that monitors Soil Moisture.

What if there was an option for customizing the color of the heat scale? Do you think that it makes sense for your use case?

Just brainstorming here ^^

Dear Phil,

yes it make sense.

Color similar this image are good

that’s what I asked in my ticket,

but a colleague of yours told me that it would not be possible and that therefore it would be better to request a new widget.

Obviously the title of the widget cannot be heatmap but soilmoisture map.

Hi Phil,

Hi Gabriele,

I’m
looking for the same feature. I need something like this for the moisture
monitoring of flat roofs and floor structures in apartments.

Individual color adjustment of the scale would be good.

We want to set up moisture monitoring for our industrially
prefabricated residential buildings in solid wood construction. I’m the technical chief
developer here and I’m currently looking at various possibilities (including
Lorawan with tagoio).
