[STOPPED] QuickApp - Ambee Soil

[SmartHomeEddy 811]

Ambee changed their API policy to only paid and a (too) short trial time. 

 

This QuickApp gives access to real-time soil moisture (Volumetric Soil Moisture (VSM) level in percentage (%)) and soil temperature (temperature of the soil in celsius (℃)) levels of any location in Asia, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand by latitude and longitude. Soil data resolution is set at 7 days (with Ambee).

Soil moisture is the amount of water content present in soil. Soil moisture depends on precipitation, temperature, soil characteristics, ground water content and more. Soil temperature affects the soil moisture content. Optimal soil temperature and moisture content is needed for crop yield.

If you copy the url from one of the icons? 
 

(Right mouse click on an icon, or something like that)

I did not get an URL from an icon, but uploading the icon from a multilevel sensor, like you did, works ?

Thanks for the assistance!

Also have a look at the second Soil Moister QuickApp. I am testing and comparing the measurements.

But the contents of soil-soil-03.zip is Soil-02.fqa ...

[SmartHomeEddy 811]

Jaik. Github doesn’t want to include the 03 files. I will try to fix it. 

 

EDIT: and fixed, sorry for the inconvenience

Ambee changed their API policy to only paid and a (too) short trial time, so unfortunately I cannot support the QuickApp anymore.

See the alternative QuickApp from Agro monitoring
