This device is a sensor shaped like a potato, designed to be buried with seed potatoes and remain with them through their growth and storage. It contains electronics that include a wireless radio, a processor, and sensors to measure things like humidity, temperature, or carbon dioxide. The device records environmental data and transmits it wirelessly. The claims narrow the invention to a version with a humidity sensor that uses a porous material to draw moisture from the outside environment to the sensor.
Why it matters: Low-power wireless communication and miniaturized, robust sensors have become significantly more efficient and affordable since 2015, making long-term buried monitoring more feasible.
