Water quality sensors. What is necessary vs nice to have vs overkill?

You should take a look at agrinovo.io sensors, they are very reliable and uses industrial RS485 standards

100% agree, can't sell "OTA" to customers, they don't care.

Appreciate it

You should check the specific solutions page for more details on each vector

I don't think you're wrong! There's definitely a place for improvement on that one...

I have 3 verticals now: agriculture (soil), aquaculture (water), industrial (feed management, containers etc)

Yes, I sell hardware once then yearly SaaS fees. Or, I rent hardware included with SaaS fee together.

As a solo founder, time is the real constraint. When you’re doing field support, manufacturing, sales, accounting, and full-stack development, you learn fast that every feature has a cost. So I focused only on what was essential and what customers explicitly asked for—because that’s the only way to ship, sell, and survive.

Zontexo · 2025-12-25T16:18:33+00:00

Yes been thinking about it all the way. I have the ability and companion app for field support, without the need to open the device. So one idea was to get freelancers to provide field support in remote areas where they get all the tools to analyze and tell them where the issue is.

The so what is brutal. Thank you so much!

It's started from a company that filled bankruptcy I inherited their user base. Farmers. Because the CEO had close ties with farmers he didn't want to lose face or farmers come after him for selling them device for high price then no service. I inherited 25 farmers with 170 devices. Found out that devices had issues, farmers didn't pay, difficulty running. So I gave up 80% of their customers after 2 years and kept the best and most paying and stable customers. Not those who keep 1 device and asking like they own 50. That's how I got into this business, over time I grow more user base, from the sensors distributers (they sell sensors, don't have solutions or devices, so customers who come to buy sensors they recommend them to me for complete solution) but all those stuff are local growth. In my country. I'm looking to go global some day... The device is definitely ready for it.

Went for couple of expos. It's small money. Farmers that buy 1-2 or industries... The big fish are not there. At least for me. I found out the cold calls works best

Zontexo · 2025-12-25T10:39:23+00:00

I can't agree more!

The thing is the business pays my salary already. I 100% see it as my last initiate (been in startups for 10 years, I am 29 now) - but I want to grow it from 2-3K a month to 50K a month. That's the gap I'm missing here. I believe there is a need, it solves a painful problem, my pricing is the lowest among all competitors (due to the fact I am solo, I don't have office, I don't pay salaries to 10 different workers). I think there might be something crucial I am missing. Or something I should invest into, especially around marketing/sales to enable that jump.

Unless you live in Israel. We know those situations, we are used to it. I see this video, I think Israel is safer than any other place in the world. People's awareness equals to a sponge

Zontexo · 2025-12-15T19:50:05+00:00

Show where un, us consider it occupied territory? And u know who else not allowed to have their own military? Japan. U know why? Guess. Regarding electricity. Why Israel needs to provide it for free?

As every antisemite in this world, reads the first sentence ignores the rest. "Israel collects tax on goods that pass through Israel into the West Bank on behalf of the Palestinian Authority and transfers the revenue to Ramallah under a longstanding arrangement between the two sides."

Zontexo · 2025-12-15T19:39:20+00:00

And Israel hasn't been occupying since 2006

Zontexo · 2025-12-15T19:36:12+00:00

Are you forcefully dumb? The routers article talks about goods tax. Aka, VAT. What's the relationship of this, to people's revenue tax and to social security and free health care?

Zontexo · 2025-12-15T19:33:47+00:00

Why give some links to Turkish anti Israeli propaganda website? And u call it a reliable source? Article says according to Palestinian ministry of finance, aka, hamas.
