Smart Digital Wireless Plant Moisture Meter Houseplants Indoor WiFi Hub Kit with Low/High Moisture Alert,Real-time Monitor Hygrometer Sensor Outdoor Gardening Push Notification&Email

Finally a moisture monitoring system that works! I've been looking for a way to monitor the moisture level in my Bonsai trees, outdoor planters, and indoor plants for a long time. I've tried a couple other products on the market and they're no where near as advanced and well thought out as these! Pros - System can monitor more sensors than you'd ever need - Ability to create alarms that send notifications based on humidity and or battery level. - interface is very intuitive. Creating alarms "scenes" is easy. - Wifi device seems to be fine connecting to devices located ~20ft away and through walls. - So far it's proving to be waterproof. - Ability to chart and log historic moisture levels. - Sensors seem to be working in 4" deep pots. - Individual sensors display % Moisture. Cons - Requires a 2.4Ghz wifi connection and will not connect to a SSID that was broadcasting both 2.4 & 5. - Connects to alibababa hosted servers in China. - An absolute bear to setup if you have an advanced firewall running Suricata / Snort! This tripped 3 Snort rules. - The sensors require a Phillips screw driver (included) to access the batteries. - There doesn't appear to be a rubber gasket sealing the battery compartment. - The sensors require ~ 6" of soil to fully seat. - Instructions are near worthless! I could write better instructions in my sleep!

Very well built, you won’t have any trouble regardless of weather. Don’t count on perfect accuracy but it’s a great tool to gauge soil moisture. The wireless kit is the only way to go.

Nice design, decent iOS App (RainPoint Home), small WiFi bridge that's easy to setup and connect to WiFi (2.4GHz only) and to sensors, as well as easy firmware updates and comes with a screwdriver to install and replace the sensor 3 x AAA batteries that are NOT included, but that's where the good things stop. The purpose of this device is to alert (and potentially trigger events) based on soil humidity levels and thats not working! The RainPoint Home App has "Smart Scenes" where you can setup events and alerts but they don't work/trigger. I managed to to get one alert to appear in the log section of "Smart Scenes" but there was no push notification or email sent out. Subsequent tests with the bridge and sensor in immediate proximity showed the sensor itself is detecting moisture (LCD showed 99%), but the bridge had no idea, created no log events, no notifications and no emails went out. That's a showstopper and defeats the purpose of the device. I emailed support with timestamped screenshots and pictures but don't hold high hopes. If support manages to resolve the issues I will return and provide an update...

Works just fine, the other people with a less then 4 stars review are just expecting to much from a 20 dollar device.

This is the only smart soil meter I can find on the market that has a display screen on the device itself,so I don’t need to use my phone all the time. Connectivity is stable. APP is easy to navigate and quite functional for plant owners. If wanna check remotely and record moisture level data via the app, buy the sensor + hub version and you can add many extra sensors under the same gateway. This is fairly useful if you have multiple plants or hanging plants. Otherwise, the sensor only version is good enough. I grow dozen of perennials and some veggies either indoor or in backyard and always forget which ones I have watered or not. To keep my plants alive and healthy is never easy! THIS SOIL METER DOES HELP A LOT! Now it is so easy to tell if my plants need a drink while I walk by or check on phone when I’m away. The app allow monitoring moisture level changes over time,so I can adjust my watering plans accordingly. Have 5 of this for now, might get more later. The only downside is the probe is not long enough for some large potted plants. Other than that, this is one of the most useful plant care tool I've ever used. It does bring me peace of mind and keep my plants happier.

Although the sensor is rated to -20 degrees C (or -4 degrees F), it gets a lot colder than that around here, so I intend to use this moisture monitoring kit primarily in the late spring, summer, and early fall. But fortunately, we had a spell of warm weather, so I took advantage of the milder temperatures to test it out. First, the setup of the hub and sensor was a bit more difficult than necessary, primarily because of some minor editing issues. For example, in section 3.2 APP Connection, the Hub User’s manual directs you to “… click Switch Mode in the upper right corner to switch to AP connection.” APP connection and AP connection are almost undoubtedly the same thing … or are they? But in any case, the directions were much better than many others I have seen for electronics, some of which seem like they have hardly been translated to English. But with all the options for setup, the QR codes for more help, and a support email address, it’s clear that RainPoint wants you to be successful. And with a few minutes of trial and error, everything was working. After setup, where I kept the hub, sensor, router, and my phone with the app near each other, I moved the hub to the basement and the sensor to one of the trees in my front yard. I never lost the connection while taking readings from several different places inside my home. I can’t verify the exact moisture readings I got, but when moving the sensor from places I knew to be wet to drier locations, the readings changed as expected. I didn’t implement the push or email notifications and probably won’t. I already have enough electronics nagging at me, although others might feel differently. It would be nice if the sensor was USB rechargeable, but the manufacturer’s description says “Battery not included”. To be a bit picky, that seems to imply one battery, when in fact, the sensor requires three AAA cells. But if the battery life is good and the hub and sensor are reliable, I’ll live with that situation. The overall construction seems good, but only time will tell how durable this kit actually is.

I really liked this product with it I will take care of. My plants will become more beautiful and I will be able to be aware of its humidity

The RAINPOINT Smart Digital Wireless Plant Moisture Meter makes it easy to monitor your plants’ hydration in real time. The sensor gives frequent updates and pairs seamlessly with the app, so you can check moisture levels without digging around in the soil. It’s compact, easy to set up, and works well for both indoor pots and outdoor garden beds. The alerts are super helpful and have taken the guesswork out of watering. Since using it, my plants are healthier and I haven’t overwatered once. It’s a simple but powerful tool for anyone who wants to keep their plants thriving with less stress.
