RainPoint 3-in-1 Smart Wireless Soil Moisture Meter for Plants Indoor/Outdoor Without Hub, WiFi APP Temperature Sunlight Sensor for Gardening Lawn Houseplants Monitor

Sensor works great as a sensor alone. This sensor is designed to be part of an eco-system. The only reason I haven’t given it 5 star is the Homgar app still needs some work, especially in the programming/scheduling (no time delays available for purging lines for example) and charts don’t show sensor labels, so all sensors look the same on charts. A major update came down that added scenes that were a big improvement over simple schedules, but I am trying to optimize for limited well water in a drip system and need more flexibility in the programming in the app. Also need to be able to export logs. Since there was a major update with major improvements at the time I write this, it appears its still under development and I suspect that the app will only get better with time.

Works great just make sure you check which hub you need. Having the history is nice. If this is outside you can use this as an outdoor thermometer, but you have to use the app see each time.

Physically much larger than the standard RainPoint moisture sensor and creates a signifigantly deeper and more aggresive cut into the soil. I was able to make it work on a 16" planter (shishigishara), but it took more force than expected and cut more roots than I would've preferred. Otherwise, using the default soil type, it seems to track moisture along the same line as their other moisture sensors. That is to say, at least for coarse bonsai soil, it indicates the soil is much lower moisture than it actually is. Adjusting for this, I'd say it's consistent and accurate. The LUX and temp sensors give a nice baseline, but I'm guessing they're not accurate relative to high end sensors but they give you the idea of max, min, and average.

Perfect watering solution👍😊

I really wanted this to work. I love many of the company's other products, but for remote moisture measurements, this and the other variant I bought both just don't work at all. Other products by RainPoint (all remote watering systems) are very good. Sadly, this is just a hard thing to do.
