Aranet integration with Priva Compass

  • Updated

Wireless sensors provide the flexibility to place measurements exactly where they are needed within your crop production facility. Whether monitoring the microclimate at the top of the crop or around the fruits in the lower canopy, you can decide which additional data points are required to gain deeper insight into the crop environment. By deploying extra sensors, deviations in climate conditions can be detected quickly, allowing you to identify and address the root cause without the need for extensive manual checks.
 

The following Aranet wireless sensors can be fully integrated with the control software of the Priva Compass as of version 127250901 (released October 23, 2025):

Temperature measurements

Any Aranet sensor that measures temperature can be used by Priva Compass and configured for one of the following input types:

  • Air temperature input
  • Leaf temperature input
  • Local temperature input
  • Soil temperature input
  • Outside temperature input
  • Black plate temperature input
  • Irrigation sensor input
  • General measurement input
Note: Aranet temperature sensors cannot be configured as water temperature sensors.

Humidity measurements

Aranet humidity sensors are supported and can be configured as:
  • Air humidity input
  • Outside humidity input
  • Irrigation sensor input
  • General measurement input

Carbon dioxide measurements

Aranet CO₂ sensors can be configured for the following inputs:
  • CO2 input
  • Irrigation sensor input
  • General measurement input

Moisture measurements

Aranet sensors measuring volumetric water content (VWC) can be configured as:
  • Irrigation sensor input
  • General measurement input

EC measurements

Aranet sensors measuring pore EC (pEC) or bulk EC (bEC) are supported and can be configured as:

  • Irrigation sensor input
  • General measurement input

Note that the Aranet EC sensor cannot be configured as EC measurement, EC verify, EC precontrol measurement or EC drain measurement sensor!

PAR measurements

Aranet sensors measuring photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) can be configured as:

  • Inside light sensor
  • Outside light sensor
  • General measurement input

Weight measurements

Aranet weight (mass) sensors can be configured as:

  • Weigh scale measurement sensor
  • Irrigation sensor input
  • General measurement input

Setting up an Aranet network

For our partners, detailed instructions for configuring an Aranet system can be found in the Compass Basic Engineer course in Priva Academy.

Priva Academy is our online learning platform, providing training courses on Priva products and services, including content developed with our knowledge partners.
