We are winegrowers, our solutions are designed with farming requirements in mind. The idea for Vinduino came as we needed reliable soil moisture data for our irrigation decisions during a multi-year drought at our vineyard in Temecula, Southern California. By monitoring soil moisture and managing irrigation schedule and time, we achieved 25% saving on our water use.

Vinduino uses open source hardware, like Arduino and Raspberry Pi, to make our solutions affordable and scalable. We developed a low-cost soil moisture sensor, and long-range wireless technology to view the sensor information on-line. Because of this, more sensors can be used to provide a more detailed soil moisture profile.
