Page 4: General
1 GENERAL 1.1 System Overview The Sensor Integration Device for Watermark Probes (SID-WM) is an end device in the Internet of Things (IoT) for agriculture. Its job is to periodically read up to four Watermark soil moisture probes (model 200SS) and a soil temperature probe (model 200TS) and report the readings to the cloud via a Gateway device. -

1.5.3 User Input To achieve a long battery life, the SID-WM sleeps most of the time. It wakes up periodically to read the probes and to send radio packets. The default interval for reading soil moisture is every 30 minutes. The Data Gateway collects packets and forwards them to the server every 15 minutes. -

1.6 Cloud Data Services Data from RealmFive IoT devices is stored on data servers in the cloud. The data is accessible to customers through an API allowing customer integration into their own applications and websites. Device data is also accessible through app.realmfive.com which is intended to aid installers with configuration and verification of device operation. -
Page 8: Installation
2 INSTALLATION The SID-WM needs the Data Gateway to send in its data packets. Thus, the Data Gateway should be installed before the SID-WM. Sensor Integration Device Install Watermark soil moisture and temperature probes in the ground at desired depths. Common practice is to utilize ¾"... - Page 9 Open SID-WM lid and plug each set of Watermark soil moisture sensor wires into the respective connector holes on the SID-WM. The bottom surface of the device has holes that each wire can be pushed into. The molded-in numbers correlate to the numbers in the mobile installation app.
- Page 10 CPVC post mount prevent the wires from being accidentally pulled out of the SID-WM’s internal board clips. Tidy up Watermark wires by coiling them and zip tying them to CPVC post. Keep wires off the ground to reduce likelihood of damage from rodents or other animals.
- Page 11 Install (2) AA batteries. Realm recommends the Energizer Lithium Ultimate batteries for best performance on devices that are not label Alkaline Only. Devices labeled Alkaline only should use alkaline batteries. Their soil moisture reading will read slightly drier than they should when the series voltage is over 3.4 V.
- Page 12 Once batteries are installed, device LED will repeatedly blink red-yellow-green- yellow as it boots. It will then blink cyan while it acquires time and location via GPS. While it is acquiring GPS it will also blink magenta-green or magenta- red indicating it is sending radio packets. Magenta-green means it received an 2.10 acknowledge...

- Page 14 Device app page for SID-WM should be displayed. The ID number in the upper right corner should correspond to the ID number on the Sensor Integration Device. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and check connectivity to verify new packets have been received.
- Page 15 Scroll to the top and tap on the drops. Then click on the “Set Soil Moisture” 2.14 button that appears. This will navigate to the Soil Moisture Setup page. Select +/- to increase or decrease the depth for that probe. 2.15 Select “Save”...
- Page 16 Device installation page for setting Watermark soil moisture probe depths or viewing most recent probe readings in The colors to the drop icon distinguish whether the setup is working. In this example, the depths are set but the soil moisture and temperature probes are 2.16 not hooked up.
- Page 17 Close the lid on the SID-WM, taking care to route the wires out the slot provided between the base and the lid. Do not cut 2.18 the insulation on the wires by pinching the wires between the lid and the base.
