Tranquileau: the connected tensiometer for above-ground containers
Reduce maintenance costs and ensure high quality results, while saving water
Above-ground planting is one of the solutions for re-naturalizing towns and cities, as planting in the ground is not always feasible.
Discover the Tranquileau® sensor, to be integrated in clusters of containers. Developed thanks to a partnership between ATECH and Urbasense, the sensor monitors and assesses root water requirements using a tensiometric probe.
This connected solution provides remote visibility of the plant’s water requirements.
In this way, you also improve the autonomy and resilience of your plants. It works for all types of plants:
- trees
- shrubs
- herbaceous plants
- climbing or creeping plants
Tried and tested efficiency - up to 70% water savings

A solution tailored to your needs and your urban furniture

Precise moisture measurement
At the heart of the system, tensiometric technology detects the level of moisture within the substrate. Data is transmitted via LoRaWAN or Sigfox, enabling real-time monitoring and extended sensor autonomy. The Tranquileau water reservoir solution, combined with its sensor, allows for up to 50% savings on watering.
