A sensor without a platform is a thermometer you never read
The sensor takes the measurement; monitoring your farm sensors is the platform’s job. It is the platform that wakes you on a frost night, that shows you when the irrigation probe is dropping too fast, that tells you the tank will be empty by Friday. The market’s problem is that this software part is almost always sold as a subscription: as long as you pay, it works; the day you stop, your sensors go silent. And when you equip several areas — frost, soil, tank, rain — you often end up with three apps, three logins and three annual invoices.
At FURGO, the question does not arise: the Supervisor is included with every sensor. There is no “pricing” page because there is no price.
Market platforms, honestly compared
| Solution | Purchase price | Subscription | Cost over 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual readings + spreadsheet | 0 € | — | 0 €, but hours of data entry and no alerts |
| Platform of a connected weather station (e.g. Sencrop, Weenat) | included with the station | 100 to 250 €/year | 500 to 1 250 € |
| Generic IoT platform you configure yourself (e.g. hosted ThingsBoard) | 0 to 100 € | 10 to 30 €/month | 600 to 1 900 €, plus the weekends of set-up |
| The FURGO Supervisor | included with every sensor | 0 € | 0 € |
Competitor prices are those publicly listed in early 2026 — check them, they change. The point that matters: on most offers, the subscription conditions the alerts. Once bought, a FURGO sensor keeps alerting for as long as it works, platform included.
What the Supervisor actually does
- A map of all your sensors, whatever their type: frost alarm, soil-moisture probes, tank level, rain gauge. One interface, one login.
- Historical curves to review a frost night, compare two plots or follow how a soil drains over the season.
- Alert thresholds you set yourself: wet-bulb temperature, soil water percentage, tank level. Threshold crossed = voice call to up to 10 numbers in cascade, plus SMS and emails.
- Maintenance under control: battery level and transmission quality of every sensor visible at a glance, so you do not discover a failure on the wrong day.
- Your data remains yours: exportable (CSV, Excel, API), no black box. If you leave, you leave with your history.
- Interoperable: the Supervisor also accepts third-party sensors, LoRaWAN in particular. Your existing equipment is not necessarily bound for the bin.
- Accessible everywhere: it is a web page, from the office to the phone in the tractor. Nothing to install.
In practice: frost, tank and probes on the same screen
The typical case is the farm that started with a frost alarm sensor, then added a tank level sensor and a capacitive probe for irrigation. Each sensor arrives already linked to your account: you switch it on, it appears on the map. In spring you watch the frost tab; in summer, the probes; all year round, the tank. One habit, one address: superviseur.furgo.fr.
And since the alerts come as voice calls, the screen is not even needed day to day: the platform is there to set the thresholds and review the data, and the phone rings when it matters.
