Comprehensive Three-Level Soil Moisture Monitoring and Alert System·

Normal: Indicates that the soil moisture is optimal, meaning no additional watering is required.

Almost Dry: Signals that the soil moisture is beginning to decline, suggesting you prepare to water soon.

Dry: Shows that the soil moisture is critically low, indicating an immediate need for watering.

Native ESPHome & Home Assistant Integration

Pre-loaded with ESPHome firmware on XIAO ESP32-C6, enabling instant Home Assistant compatibility. Configure and control directly from your Home Assistant dashboard for streamlined smart home management.

Pre-Calibrated Adaptive Soil Moisture Sensing: Dynamic Monitoring Intervals with Instant Readout

Factory-Calibrated Plug-and-Play Operation: The sensor comes pre-calibrated from the factory, so it’s ready for use right out of the box. Simply insert the sensor into the soil and start receiving moisture status without the need for additional setup.

Adaptive Detection Logic Based on Soil Moisture Levels:

• Normal State: When the soil moisture is optimal, the sensor automatically performs a measurement every 8 hours, ensuring that your plant’s water needs are being met without unnecessary intervention.
• Almost Dry State: As the soil begins to lose moisture, the sensor shifts to a more frequent checking schedule, monitoring the moisture once every hour. This stage serves as an early warning to prepare for watering.
• Dry State: When the soil is detected as being too dry, the sensor increases its vigilance, checking the moisture level every 15 minutes. This rapid monitoring ensures that you’re promptly alerted to take immediate action.

Instant Readout Feature: A single short press of the built-in button instantly wakes up the sensor and displays the current humidity level for 1 second, providing you real-time feedback at any moment.

Calibration Process for Optimal Accuracy

Activation: Quickly press the button three times to enter calibration mode; the red LED will start flashing.

Calibration Process: Within 10 seconds, insert the sensor into completely dry soil. Once the red LED stops flashing, wait an additional 3 seconds until the LED switches to flashing green. Then, within 10 seconds, insert the sensor into fully wet soil and wait until the green LED stops flashing, followed by another 3-second delay.

Result Indication: Two rapid green flashes confirm successful calibration, while two rapid red flashes indicate a calibration failure.

Replaceable AA Battery with Extended Service Life

Optimized factory-calibrated power management enables continuous operation on a single AA battery.

Environment-Adaptive Design: Anti-Corrosion Technology & Gr aduated Scale

Anti-corrosion treatment that significantly extends its lifespan, even in moisture-rich conditions. Paired with a precision-etched graduated scale, it allows for accurate alignment with the diverse root depths of various plants, ensuring tailored soil monitoring that meets the unique needs of every green space.
