Install a soil-moisture sensor and set its cutoff threshold, the high school athletic complex's irrigation controller, Poteet, TX 78065 (Atascosa County).

The high school athletic complex's irrigation controller runs on the clock alone, so a rain earlier in the week does nothing to stop the next scheduled cycle -- there is no sensor in the ground to tell the controller the root zone is already wet.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

threshold value recorded + wet-test withhold + dry-test run + burial-depth photo + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Power the controller off at the disconnect, then install the soil-moisture probe in the root zone of the driest-tending part of the zone it will govern, per the manufacturer's burial-depth spec.
2. 2. Wire the sensor into the controller's dedicated moisture-sensor input terminal, restore power, and confirm the controller recognizes the sensor as connected.
3. 3. Set the cutoff threshold to the manufacturer/soil-type recommended value, then run the wet test: saturate the sensor by hand-watering the probe and confirm the controller withholds the next scheduled cycle.
4. 4. Run the dry test: let the probe read normally and confirm the controller runs the zone on schedule once moisture reads below the threshold, then record both readings.

What counts as done

• Threshold value set, recorded against the manufacturer/soil-type reference
• Wet test: photo/reading of the saturated sensor and the controller withholding the scheduled cycle
• Dry test: photo/reading of the sensor below threshold and the controller running the zone on schedule
• Sensor burial-depth and siting photo in the governed zone's root area

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
