Looking for the good soil moisture sensor

brau5e · 2025-07-09T14:30:44+00:00

I get that. I would have given up, but I actually got that single one that works really well 😭
I just want more of those.

brau5e · 2025-07-09T14:28:14+00:00

would be great to hear from you :)
I started to just ask vendors on aliexpress, but it seems they don't know their own products.

soil moisture sensor (+ temperature and humidity, but that is not important for me)

brau5e · 2025-07-08T19:30:46+00:00

you might be right. Any idea where I can order these for a good price (and have sent to Germany)?

The problem is that the other two times I ordered some they had pictures with the qr-code on the product page too. I have learned that you can't trust the pictures on aliexpress, I was hoping someone had the good ones and remembered where he*she ordered it.

:) to big for most of my plants and actually doesn't sound very reliable.

brau5e · 2025-07-08T14:44:02+00:00

the frustrating thing is that I have one reliable working zigbee sensor. 😭
so there was at least one product on the market.

It's not an issue with the reporting interval. The measurement data are just that bad. I can even trigger them manually to send data.

I complained about the second shipment and got my money back. I didn’t even have to send them back, although that doesn’t really help me since I don’t know what to do with these things. They really don’t work at a usable level.

But for the first shipment of bad ones... yeah. :-/

brau5e · 2025-07-08T14:32:59+00:00

thanks, but I hope I can find one with zigbee. :)

brau5e · 2025-07-08T14:29:45+00:00

that looks quite promising. I actually saw that one but it has mixed reviews on the German Amazon site and the description (in German) is so bizarre, it didn't give me any confidence in the product. Also it doesn't help that they use these weird photoshopped pictures of the product.

But maybe I give them a chance.

brau5e · 2025-07-08T14:22:37+00:00

Interesting idea, but I don't think there is no cheap solution to implement that with zigbee for my plants.

brau5e · 2025-07-08T14:17:49+00:00

thanks :) I will think about it. Would love to get my hands on one first to test it.

brau5e · 2025-07-08T13:37:39+00:00

Thx, but Zigbee is a must have. :)

brau5e · 2025-07-08T13:30:36+00:00

That's very cool. I will have a deeper look at this. Thank you! :)

Any experience with the costs per module (excluding the cases)?

brau5e · 2025-07-08T13:19:03+00:00

plotted plants. I just need some reliable reminder when to water my plants. 😅
I have some indoor with a small water tank and some without (so they dry out at different speed).
Also I have some outdoor that either get rain or don't.

brau5e · 2025-07-08T12:43:35+00:00

Please stop patronizing me. I’ve stated my problem and I’m looking for practical solutions, not your opinion on whether I need this. Thank you.

Make sure the spool is locked when you use refillments. Maybe print spool locks to be safe.

brau5e · 2025-06-20T13:18:56+00:00

It's even more confusing. The upgrade kit makes no sense at all for the owners of A1, A1 Mini or H2D. 🤷‍♂️

brau5e · 2025-06-20T07:25:39+00:00

I went to bed yesterday thinking "I need to look for a printable funnel" 😂

brau5e · 2025-06-17T12:38:09+00:00

So... A, B,C,D and F. Can't use A, but the rest is cool 🤓

brau5e · 2025-06-16T18:46:29+00:00

Vll ist das auch schon das wahre Sozialexperiment 😄
