# Aquaspy 50, 100 and 150 cm probes

## **Events**

| **Event** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Summated soil moisture exceeds | Tests whether the **Summated Soil Moisture (VSD) **tag value is greater than or less than a specified value. |

# Rubicon SmartFront Sensor

See the [https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SF](https://rubiconwater.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SF) space for device documentation.

## Events

| **Event** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Detected water level exceeds | Tests whether the **Detected Water Level** tag exceeds a specified value. |

## Actions

> ℹ️ **Note**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ If you select a built-in *Irrigate bay*** **action for a bay that has an associated SmartFront sensor, the program automatically adds a *Wake up* action for the SmartFront sensor when the bay gate opens.

| **Action** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Generate cut-off | Generates a “cut-off” time when the bay gate will close by calculating the optimal time based on the bay geometry, the SmartFront location, and the SmartFront water level data. |
| Wake up | Wake the SmartFront sensor up from Sleep state so that it polls for water level data more frequently. |

# Standard FloodTech Sensor

This includes earlier versions of the Rubicon SmartFront sensor.

## Events

| **Event** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| FloodTech level exceeds | Tests whether the value of the **Level** tag exceeds a specified value. |
| FloodTech level drops below | Tests whether the value of the **Level** tag is less than a specified value. |
| Above ground level exceeds | Tests whether the value of the **Above Ground Level** tag exceeds a specified value. |
| Above ground level drops below | Tests whether the value of the **Above Ground Level** tag is less than a specified value. |
