Sensor łączy się nie tylko z dedykowaną bramką WiFi. Połączył się z moją stacją sbs-ws-500 i dobrze pokazuje wilgotność gleby w ogrodzie. Wskazania mogę obserwować zarówno na stacji jak i w aplikacji Ecowitt. Polecam.

This review evaluates the “WH51 Soil Moisture Sensor” made by ECOWITT.The product was shipped with no excessive or wasteful packaging. What’s in the box: one (1) WH51 soil moisture sensor, and an owner’s manual.I will preface this review by saying that I’m a Country Boy whose entire life has revolved around flower and food gardens. Any gardener will tell you that the quality of your soil is instrumental for crop growth. I recently purchased an Ecowitt WittBoy weather station that supports a multitude of add-on sensors, this soil moisture sensor being one of them. For years I have done away without using a moisture meter due to wildly inaccurate readings I would get; so I was eager to try this unit out.First impressions: The overall quality of the meter looks very good, with a durable hard plastic ABS casing. The end cap unscrews to house an “AA” battery (not included, lithium recommended). The weatherproof end cap is further protected by a slide-on rubber cap. It is imperative to note that this is not a standalone sensor; you need an Ecowitt monitoring hub. The set-up was easy: install a new battery, open the Ecowitt APP that you set up with your monitoring hub, and add the WH51 sensor. Within a minute the sensor calibrates and sends real-time data back to you via your monitoring hub/APP.I bought this sensor to specifically monitor my hanging potted plants. I tested unit one of my pots by placing it as instructed. After acclimating (about 10-20 minutes) the sensor reported that the soil moisture content was 33%. To check the accuracy of the sensor, I installed an old-school analog probe in the same pot. After acclimating (about 10-20 minutes) the analog probe reported that the soil moisture content was 35%. The sensor appears to be accurate within reason. The WH51 sensor removes the guesswork about when and how much to water.My only suggestion to the manufacturer is to include a lug to tie a tether with a tag so that you don’t lose/forget about the sensor when you dump the pot! Since this really doesn’t take away from the usability of the product, I will not deduct any stars for it.In order to determine long-term meter durability and accuracy, I intend to monitor this product over the next 4-6 months. Should anything change over this period, I will update this review accordingly.Cost-effectiveness and value: Overall I am very satisfied with the product; it is compact, portable, and easy to use. At a current price of $32.99 (plus a $3 off coupon), it is of great value.In summary: the “WH51 Soil Moisture Sensor” made by ECOWITT is well made, compact, accurate, and easy to use. It delivers all this at a reasonably low price. This product is a must-have for the avid gardener. I would recommend this product without reservation.Pros 👍:✔ Well made from quality materials.✔ Very easy to set up and use.✔ Sensor reports back every 60 seconds (as configured by your monitoring hub).✔ Uses one (1) AA battery.✔ IP66 water resistant rated.✔ Removes the guesswork out of when to water.✔ Accurate.✔ Great price point, good value.Cons👎:✘ None!Manufacturer Suggestions 🖐:✔ Provide a lug to tie a tether marker to avoid loss.

I was going away on a month-long holiday and needed a way to automate the monitoring and watering of my plants. There are loads of DIY solutions on Amazon that use a simple controller or Arduino, but none have an easy interface for me to monitor remotely.This seems to be the only one from a reputable brand with the ability to connect to WiFi (via a bridge) and I already have an Ecowitt weather station, so the cost of the bridge and the setup is already covered.Make sure you use a fresh battery to set up the sensor. After setup, a rechargeable battery can be used and it will continue to work down to 0.9V.UPDATE 2023: Make sure you use the rubber cap hidden underneath the box to cover the battery door; otherwise, there could be water ingress in rainy weather.
