MyTentacles
The IoT Service Platform Behind Every Tentacles Sensor
MyTentacles is the cloud layer that turns raw sensor telemetry into decisions. Every measurement, alert and configuration flows through one dashboard, backed by a 24/7 self-awareness engine and an open API for your own integrations.
A Platform, Not Just A Dashboard
Buying a sensor is the easy part. Keeping it calibrated, connected, secure and integrated with the rest of your operation is the hard part. MyTentacles exists to remove that burden — so the people buying sensors can focus on crops, irrigation and decisions, not on infrastructure.
Cost-Effectiveness
No upfront capital tied up in sensors and on-site infrastructure. A predictable subscription fee replaces a one-off purchase and makes budgeting straightforward.
Scalability
Add or remove sensors as the operation changes, without buying extra gateways, swapping networks or re-engineering the deployment.
Flexibility
Try different sensor configurations and switch network operators without long-term lock-in. The platform stays out of the way.
Expertise And Support
Sensor technology, data analytics and platform maintenance live with us — not on your internal IT backlog.
Continuous Improvement
New features, optimisations and security enhancements ship continuously. Every customer runs the latest version of MyTentacles on day one.
Tech Agnostic
MyTentacles integrates diverse sensor types and delivers the right data format to the dashboard and to your downstream platforms.
How It Works
Easy To Use
A purpose-built interface that reads cleanly without a learning curve. Sensor data is grouped the way growers think — by lot, by row, by zone.
Customer Specific
Set measurement intervals, calibrations, Self Awareness and per-sensor behaviour. All configurable per sensor or per customer with a click.
Sensor Configuration
Configure a single sensor or a group in one place. Settings propagate immediately without on-site visits.
Dynamic Alerts
Push notifications and sensor performance monitoring, configurable per device and per customer. Multiple severity levels for signal, sensor health and data quality.
Device History
Up to 12 months of historical data and events, guarded by MyTentacles Self Awareness. Trace any anomaly back to the moment it started.
Flexible And Scalable
Manage an unlimited number of devices, configure at sensor or customer level, and add sites as the operation grows.
Multi-Network
Sigfox 0G and LoRaWAN run in parallel. If one network is degraded, Self Awareness keeps the data flowing through the other.
Custom Made Applications
A powerful API and webhook system let you build your own apps, integrations and downstream workflows on top of MyTentacles.
Bulk Set-Up
Configure large batches of sensors in one pass — essential for any deployment beyond a handful of devices.
See Every Reading In One Place
Events
Historical events triggered by sensors or users. Self Awareness events raised by the 24/7 watchdog. User events captured when humans or systems change settings. All stored permanently for traceability.
Sensor Data
Multi-layer readings from each XT-M sensor — VWC, temperature, light and battery — presented side by side so trends emerge without spreadsheet work.
Signaling
Live visibility into network performance. MyTentacles monitors signal quality across LPWAN operators and routes data through the strongest available path.
Advanced Sensor Settings
Fine-tune zero offset, dynamic sensitivity, calibration intervals and methods per sensor. Calibration records are stored so performance is traceable over time.
Effortless Global Network Connectivity
Our distribution channels and customers demand only the most energy-efficient and reliable technologies. MyTentacles runs on the same LPWAN foundations our sensors use — quality of the network matters as much as quality of the sensor.
UnaBiz · Sigfox 0G
Global 0G operator. Wide-area coverage for sensors that need to keep transmitting wherever they are planted.
Helium
LoRaWAN operator of choice for North America, with community-driven coverage that grows with the network.
Netmore
Pan-European LoRaWAN operator with deep coverage in horticulture and public-green deployments — complementary coverage wherever Sigfox is thin.
More Operators
MyTentacles is operator-agnostic by design. New LPWAN partners are added as coverage requires.
Self Awareness: The 24/7 Watchdog
Self Awareness is the engine that watches the network for you. It monitors signal coverage, transmission quality, battery state and sensor health, and reacts before a problem becomes a missed measurement.
Network Configuration
Topology, addressing and LPWAN routing managed per device — no manual gateway setup.
Transmission Power
Tuned per location to balance range against battery life.
Data Rate
Adjusted automatically based on coverage and message volume.
Sleep Mode
Configurable wake intervals that stretch battery life to up to 15 years.
Security Settings
Encryption, authentication and access control baked into every device configuration.
Sensor Sampling Rate
Per-sensor measurement frequency — finer for critical zones, leaner for the rest.
The Modules Behind MyTentacles
Fourteen modules work together to turn sensor telemetry into decisions. Each one is purpose-built — no bolt-on dashboards, no marketing-only features.
Tentacles Dashboard
The main sensor visualisation workspace. Maps, charts and per-sensor tiles grouped the way growers think — by lot, by row, by zone.
Signaling
Live visibility into LPWAN signal quality across operators. Self Awareness routes data through the strongest available path automatically.
Customers
Multi-tenant customer management. Provision accounts, assign sensors, set per-customer defaults and isolate data between organisations.
Users
Granular role-based access per customer. Invite teammates, define who sees what, and audit who changed which setting.
Tentacles
The sensor-data core. Every measurement, alert and configuration flows through this module — the single source of truth for the platform.
Tentacles Sensors
Fleet management for the physical sensors. Track hardware, install dates, locations and lifecycle status across the entire installed base.
Webhooks
Outbound integration layer. Push events to your own systems — irrigation, ERP, climate — using configurable webhooks per customer or per sensor.
Billing
Subscription and invoicing. Predictable per-sensor fees replace one-off purchases and make monthly budgeting straightforward.
Tentacle Versions
Hardware and firmware versioning per sensor type. Track which generation is deployed where and roll out updates with confidence.
Dealers
Distributor and partner network. Manage dealer accounts, territories and the sensors they service from one place.
Calibrations
Calibration profiles per substrate and per use case. Roll out a tuned calibration across a fleet without touching individual sensors.
Calibration Sensors
Per-sensor calibration history and the self-learning fingerprint. Trace any reading back to the calibration state at that moment.
Self Awareness Triggers
The 24/7 watchdog rules. Define the conditions under which the platform reacts, notifies and protects sensor data quality on its own.
Every Reading, Every Layer, In One View
A single glance tells you how the substrate is behaving — top, middle and bottom — together with temperature, signal health and per-layer alert thresholds. Everything you see here is what MyTentacles renders for every sensor in your fleet.
