Quick FAQ
Does this sensor work by itself?
No. This is an add-on sensor and requires a compatible GardPilot display module.
What does each sensor measure?
Each compatible sensor supports soil moisture, soil temperature, and sunlight-level checks. The indoor display also shows the time.
How far can the sensors transmit?
The stated open-air range is up to 230 ft (70 m). Walls, metal, dense structures, and other obstacles can reduce the practical range.
How deep should I insert a sensor?
Insert the probe about 7 cm into evenly packed soil. Keep the sensing area in contact with the soil for more consistent trend comparisons.
Which growing media are suitable?
Use the sensor in natural garden soil or standard potting mix. It is not intended for pure perlite, gravel, coco coir, or hydroponic media.
Can the display stay outdoors?
No. The sensor is rated IPX5, while the display module is designed for indoor use.
Does the system water plants automatically?
No. It helps you decide when to water. Pair it with a separate watering timer when you want a scheduled watering routine.
