This was such an easy device to set up and so effective, are you using something similar? Let me know your thoughts down below and if you've enjoyed the video then don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to the channel 👍
It drained the first set of batteries in a couple of months because it was logging a lot. I've put different batteries in now and whether it's those or the way I've inserted it into the soil, it doesn't log as frequently and the battery life is way better. There is also a firmware update for it according to the seller but I've not installed it and I don't think it has done it automatically, this apparently helps with the frequency of logging. As for the readings, temperature seems fairly accurate, soil moisture is basically 100% all the time whilst wet and then starts to creep towards 70% as it dries out. I've not really seen it go lower than that.

i have 3 of them and they are not very sensible...
I'm having mixed results, I suspect they need a firmware update
