VODESON 4in1 Plant Soil Moisture Meter with 230ft RF Wireless Includes Battery-Waterproof & LCD Display for Moisture,Temp,Sunlight,Time,Ideal for Garden, Farm, Lawn Care-Outdoor Plant Monitoring

Using Vodeson with 1-meter with 6 probes (bought 2 additional) outdoors for a flower bed 90 feet across and 100 feet from the indoor router. The types plants include new tea olive trees alongside existing and new evergreen trees in the background, and various types of perennial flowers in the foreground on a sloped bed. Installed Drip Secbulk soaker hoses off a RainPoint Wi-Fi dual-zone controller, which feeds 5 single-zone water timers.I wrapped the soaker hoses once around each new plant, close to the base, and daisy-chained them for each zone. Note 1: This was optimal when the probes were installed at selected tree or flower locations. The probes are installed slightly below the low point of the soaker hose for optimal monitoring. The soaker hoses are covered by pine straw. Note: I tried the RainPoint water sensor and found it to be inaccurate and too expensive for multiple locations.The meter accurately provided a percentage of moisture and blinked when the reading was below 10%, readily identifying each probe location that needed water. The combination of the Vodeson and RainPoint was perfect. However, I wish the Vodeson were a Wi-Fi phone app capable. I have the meter at my desk, and a simple glance will tell me what zone needs watering. From my phone, I set the duration I want to water the plants using the RainPoint dual-zone and specific single-zone times, and then press start. A built-in scheduler is available if needed. I can see the results in real-time as the moisture level rises on the Vodeson meter.I cannot find any reason why this item would be less than 5 stars after 1 month of use, which included heavy rain pours and varying temperatures from 36 to 89°F. I also used a high-quality Giraffe Tools hose from the hose/zone manifold to reach out to the far-end areas where needed to connect to a soaker hose. ENJOY!

This is a great product. I use it in my houseplants that need more attention and more susceptible to results of over or under watering. I now have one place to check quickly to see if any houseplants need water. This is a blessing for me because my life is very busy and hectic, and I easily forget when I watered and to check if they need water. In the winter in particular this is helpful as some plants dry out faster than the do other times of the year because the air is dryer as a result of using furnace. Even with a humidifier.Found this to be a helpful product and my plants are doing better as a result.

I was a little skeptical at first if this would work, but it's working like a champ. I've had no issues with the setup or with the monitor keeping track.

Got this to monitor a new landscape planting. Tested indoors on potted plants and the numbers fluctuated wildly. Hoped it would be better outdoors but:- Numbers go stuck at over 60% humidity (high) even when the soil was bone dry down to 6" and new plants looked wilted. Perked back up as soon as I watered.- Repositioned sensors by less than half a foot and they dropped by 40%- Watered plants for 90 minutes and one sensor went back up and the other was frozen at the low number. Both received equal water.Not reliable if you want to keep plants alive.(I followed all of the instructions perfectly).

Listen up, folks. I’ve just acquired the 4-in-1 Plant Soil Moisture Meter, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer.

No need to trudge through the mud like some kind of amateur. It’s equipped with a battery, so you don’t have to mess around with solar power or any other hippie nonsense. Just pop in the battery and get to work.The four functions are straightforward: moisture, light, temperature, and pH. This is all you need to keep your plants happy.

No screens, no apps, just reliable data.

I got these to keep an accurate gauge for moisture around a new Satsuma tree I planted. I put one 3 inches from the trunk and the other one abut 2 feet from the trunk. While they both give separate and different readings, they only show 50% max, even if ground is saturated. So i have to estimate % of moisture based on that. They are consistent. Makes no difference how close or far from the base. I like the base graphics, large and clear. Other than the gauge not registering100%, i like them.
